George Mikan - NBA's Original "Big Man" - Dies At 81

Not to sound like an old fogey, but I have to mention the passing of George Mikan, the first true NBA superstar. He passed away at the age of 81. He was before the heralded Wilt Chamberlain and certainly wasn't as known but was singularly responsible for many rule changes that led the way to the modern game. For anyone who is interested, his story is here.
