Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Lanier died on Tuesday after a short illness, the NBA said. He was 73. Lanier, who spent 14 seasons in the NBA until his retirement in 1984, averaged 20.1 points per game across 959 appearances. The towering 6ft 10in center spent the first decade of his career with the Detroit Pistons before joining the Milwaukee Bucks for the 1979-1980 campaign, where he would play five seasons. "Bob Lanier was a Hall of Fame player and among the most talented centers in the history of the NBA, but his impact on the league went far beyond what he accomplished on the court," NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.
Un día triste para la NBA: Bob Lanier, uno de los grandes pívots de los años 70 y los primeros 80, ha fallecido a los 73 años. Miembro del Hall of Fame desde 1992, fue número uno del draft (en 1970) y ocho veces all star, siete en los setenta y la última en 1982. Incluso fue MVP del evento en 1974. Su excepcional carrera hizo que tanto Detroit Pistons como Milwaukee Bucks, las dos franquicias en las que jugó como profesional (1970-1984) retiraran su número 16. Su leyenda es especialmente recordada en Detroit, donde formó pareja con Dave Bing en los mejores momentos del equipo en la MoTown antes de la llegada, después, de los Bad Boys que ganaron dos anillos.
