He's arguably the originator of modern basketball.  Condolences to his family.

An innovator.  First steps toward positionless basketball.

Before my time but the 80's Bucks play anything like Don's Warriors teams?

I also don't get why Marques Johnson isn't in the HOF.  Or Gus Williams.

Good for him.  He probably died because his parents had him vaccinated for polio

Point forward Paul Pressey.  Three point shooting 7 footer.   Working to get an open corner 3 before almost everybody else. (Craig Hodges)  Playing bigs on the perimeter to create lanes for slashing guards.

Hodges was extremely cool.  Lights out spot shooter.  I think he made 23 straight triples in a 3pt contest. Who was the giant who could lace threes?
