From Ed Odeven Reporting:
TOKYO (Oct. 11, 2017) — Basketball royalty passed away a few days ago. And maybe now, finally, Connie Hawkins will get his proper respect. Maybe.
Hawkins’ death at age 75 brought back a flood of memories throughout the basketball world about The Hawk’s before-his-time game, his aerial antics, his difficult life story, his greatness as a player long before he reached the NBA with the Phoenix Suns.
Peter Vecsey penned an epic 4,000-word remembrance of the hoop legend, diligently chronicling Hawkins’ life and times.
