NBA legends are dropping like flies. RIP Moses Malone

What is going on? Nothing really out of the ordinary, unfortunately. A man who is 7 feet tall has the same size heart as somebody who is 6 feet tall. These big guys rarely reach 70's and almost never reach the 80's.

RIP Moses Malone he was one of the best centers of all time!

Plus, these guys put a ton of stress on their body over their careers.

Sucks, but don't be surprised if a lot of these guys start dropping.
 
Playing golf means that he was somewhat active but if these guys decided that they were done with serious aerobic activity after they retired their arterys may have gotten totally clogged up and killed them. PT isn't just for being in pro sports or the military it's for life.
 
Read a story today about how, right after being drafted into the league, Barkley wasn't getting much game time and he asked Moses about it. Moses flat out told Barkley he was lazy and fat and then proceeded to work with him before and after practice to get Charles into shape and make him into the player he became. Apparently, Moses never shared this story to anyway.
 
They're playing basketball
We love that basketball
They're playing basketball
We love that basketball

[Verse 1]
(Now rapping basketball -- Number 1, Kurtis Blow)
Basketball is my favorite sport
I like the way they dribble up and down the court
Just like I'm the king on the microphone, so is Dr. J and Moses Malone
I like slam dunks, take me to the hoop
My favorite play is the alley-oop
I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go
Cause it's basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
I used to go to dinner, then take the girl
To see Tiny play against Earl The Pearl
And Wilt, Big O, and Jerry West
Play basketball at it's very best
Basketball has always been my thing
I like Magic, Bird, and Bernard King
And number 33, my man Kareem
Is the center on my starting team

(To the hoop, y'all, watch out, watch out
In yo' face, now here comes the rest)

[Verse 3]
Clyde, Rick Barry, and Pistol Pete
Now these players could never be beat
Isiah, and Iceman too
Just give 'em the ball, and then you chalk up two
Dantley and Wilkins are on the scene
And Ralph Sampson is really mean
Bill Russell didn't take no junk
And Darryl Dawkins got a monster dunk

[Verse 4]
Tell me, were you in the joint
The night Wilt scored 100 points?
Or when Celtics won titles back-to-back
And didn't give nobody no kind of slack?
Or when Dr. J shook the whole damn team
With moves that came right out of a dream?
Or when Willis Reed stood so tall
Playing D with desire? It's basketball!

[Hook]

[Verse 5]
I get the ball and then I go and play
Like a superstar in the NBA
The forwards, the centers, and all the guards
The ones you see on the bubblegum cards
Me and homeboy would go one-on-one
Cause playing the game is a lot of fun
Sit by the TV and watch 'em all
Cause Kurtis Blow is rapping basketball

An Ode to the great players of yesteryear.
