Death Impends 7,979 Posted October 25, 2013 This article on Buss mentions that Bill Sharman, a Lakers coach, is now in failing health. He's 86 so it could very well just be age rather than specific ailments, but I figured it was worth sharing. Dead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitehouse 872 Posted November 20, 2013 I'm ashamed, and we all should have been for overlooking this death last summer. July 30 Ossie Schectman died. "Who?", I hear you ask. A quote from the history of the NBA. he Basketball Association of America was founded in 1946 by owners of the major ice hockey arenas in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States and Canada. On November 1, 1946, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Toronto Huskies hosted the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens, in a game the NBA now regards as the first played in its history.[4]The first basket was made byOssie Schectman of the Knickerbockers. Never mind the 30000 plus point of Jordan, Abdul Jabar or Malone. The first two were made by Ossie. So there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,983 Posted April 29, 2014 I could see him dying in a year or two given that one of the things he lived for was rubbing elbows with famous people and now he is someone no one would ever want to be seen with in public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adrian0719 224 Posted June 21, 2014 Good article on the Sterling affair as a whole from ESPN. For pure deathlisting, however the first section covers his health troubles, and paragraph three gets into the nitty gritty of his Alzheimer's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
