But did they make it any easier for his mom to say "my son Adolph"?
I am old enough to remember him playing. In those years I listened to Chick Hearn with the Lakers.
One of the supposedly non-existent great Jewish sports heroes.
A good time to recall the NBA accomplishments of Pete Maravich.
Man...I miss Pistol, Dolphy and Mikan. Those guys created the NBA through the 50’s and 60’s
I remember him averaging double digits with his main shooting arm in a cast
RIP.
Loved him! Modeled my game after him. Many didn’t know that even at 6 8 he could not jump high enough to dunk but won rebounding crown year after year. He had a geometry machine in his head. Rodman watched hour after hour of him to become the great rebounder he was. RIP DOLPH YOU WERE GREST TO WATCH!
Not exactly. Most power forwards pretty much play near the basket on offense. Schayes was one of the last great masters of the distant two-handed set shot. He would have been even more valuable today with the three point shot in effect.
