Eta - that sucks

 

[Hooper31]

Own the offensive glass!

 

[Raider Nation]

First Dawkins, now Fo Fo Fo.

This guy was a rebounding machine. So sad.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Holy crap. RIP, Mo

That was a MAN there, ladies & gents. Just relentless.

 

[Popinski]

Sad news. Great player who had become underappreciated.

 

[zamboni]

First Dawkins, now Fo Fo Fo.

And Caldwell Jones passed away last year, too.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Crap. Great great player. Fun to watch him dominate in the paint

[Aerial Assault]

:( RIP.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Lefty had successfully recruited him to Maryland. Moses was on campus one day and said "nope"

 

[Bob Magaw]

RIP, Chairman of the Board.

Pioneer and best prep/pro of his generation, 3 X NBA MVP, retiring after close to two decades he was last remaining ABA player and voted one of top 50 NBA players ever.

One of the greatest rebounders in league history, with Wilt, Russell (and Rodman in his prime), the only player I ever heard that PRACTICED rebounding to hone his instincts.

 

[Jobber]

At 60. Wow. RIP

 

[rockaction]

First Dawkins, now Fo Fo Fo.

This guy was a rebounding machine. So sad.

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

RIP.

 

[Mr. Retukes]

Best Trail Blazer ever.

 

[Jefferson the Caregiver]

Damn Sixers having a tough year.

Tough trying to being a big former athlete and living a long life.

 

[CurlyNight]

Too many players are dying young. So sad. Enjoyed watching him back in the day. May he RIP. :(

You have the wrong Malone. This one was better than Karl.

He did a great job parting the seas.

Oh. Cheeks is no stockton.

I really liked him in Cliffhanger.

In all fairness he just said "the mailman".

Yep. If I'm Dr. J or Andrew Toney I'm a little nervous right now.

RIP Moses. You were definitely the missing piece the Sixers needed to win it all back then. Brilliant move by Katz.

Yeah, Mo was a champion.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

This one hurts.

If there's such a thing as an underrated 3-time MVP, Moses is it. Led a .500-ish team to the Finals in HOU, then centered one of the best NBA teams of the modern era his first season in PHI.

Extraordinary asset to his teams. One of the best rebounders ever, especially on the offensive end. Could average 20 PPG without having any plays run for him.

Wasn't the rim protector this era wants in a C, did not have shooting range. But when the game was still a slog six feet and closer to the hoop, Moses was Bill ####### Brasky down on the block.

RIP.

 

[HellToupee]

Great player

has Larry Bird weighed in?

 

[Aerial Assault]

Absolutely did not realize he won *three* MVPs. Now that's impressive.

 

[AAABatteries]

I really thought when the Hawks got Malone and Theus they would challenge for title. Even Mo couldn't overcome the Hawks stink.

and he's black

 

[dickey moe]

Dawkins now this? Who's next - Andrew Toney?

One of the more under-the-radar superstars.

Robert Swift?

Yep. If I'm Dr. J or Andrew Toney I'm a little nervous right now.

Or Allen Iverson

 

[NutterButter]

Or barkley. His arteries have to be all clogged up. Maybe mahorn.

I'd tend to agree but I'm not sure there's a wrong answer. They played a very different style. And it's an interesting comparison.

 

[SFBayDuck]

Caldwell, Darryl, Moses - all late 70s and early 80s Sixer centers gone in the last 12 months. If I'm Harvey Catchings, Mark McNamara or Clem Johnson, I'm pretty worried right now.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Marc iavaroni still doing great.

RIP Mo.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Absolutely did not realize he won *three* MVPs. Now that's impressive.

One of the more under-the-radar superstars.

I heard someone compare him to Stan Musial in that regard. They were both so good, so consistent for so long, but lacked any drama or famous highlight, that they got taken for granted.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Marc iavaroni still doing great.

RIP Mo.

I hope all those chemicals Doug Collins used for his perm back in the day don't come back to haunt him.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Dude was a stud - one of the original straight-from-hs-to-the-pros players. I remember how he used to give Kareem fits back in the day.
