Moses Malone has passed away

[ArizonaKid]

Only 60 years old. Apparently had a heart attack in his sleep.

Was an incredible force in the paint, leading the NBA in rebounding 6 times in his career including 5 straight when he was at his peak. Turned pro straight out of high school into the ABA, costing the University of Maryland it's prized recruit. his 21 year career would eventually land him in the HOF on his first ballot.

in 1982 Moses signed with Philly and won his 3rd NBA MVP and while leading the 76er's to the promised land.

RIP Moses and thanks for the memories
