Title: Marvin Barnes dead at age 62
Post by: ATWizJr on September 08, 2014, 09:02:25 PM
Maahhhvin, one of the great talents on a PC team that made the FF, with Ernie D. and Kevin Stacom et al dead today at age 62.  Local product of Central High.  Very troubled past.  In 4 prisons.  The heart of the ABA St. Louis Spirits and immensely talented.

Loved Marvin and Ernie D.

For you young guys, YouTube Ernie - one of the great ball handlers and passers ever (in the Bob Cousy mold).

News was a very dynamic power forward. Incredibly quick feet and very fun to watch. Sorry to see him go. RIP

Without the drugs and alcohol, I have no doubt Marvin would have been one of the all-time greats.

Nobody messed with his team in the ABA.

Barnes, Moses Malone, and Mo Lucas on the same team? Not to mention ML Carr who could hold his own in an altercation as well.

Brandy, that lineup sounds like a cage match tag team!
