Just noticed that Caldwell Jones also has died, less than a year ago.
Caldwell Jones, Darryl Dawkins, and Moses Malone were the Sixers' starting centers from about 76-86, as I recall. Kind of eerie. Performing at that level over a long period of time has to take a physical toll. We think of pro athletes, particularly basketball players as being super physical specimens, but I am beginning to wonder if pro athletes may have shorter life spans than we mortals.
