Basketball Hall of Famer and NBA legend Lenny Wilkens died Sunday at the age of 88.
“Lenny Wilkens represented the very best of the NBA—as a Hall of Fame player, Hall of Fame coach, and one of the game’s most respected ambassadors,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. “He influenced the lives of countless young people as well as generations of players and coaches who considered Lenny not only a great teammate or coach but also an extraordinary mentor who led with integrity and true class.”
