Sad news.....just heard on WFAN the NBA great and former Sixer passed away at age 60. Damn...loved Moses' game - the true 'chairman of the board'.

No details on cause of death yet.

Calvin Murphy says it was likely a heart attack in his sleep. They were apparently still very close.

The best human offensive rebounder in league history. (Rodman obviously doesn't count.)

Second greatest Rocket ever.
I slip away
I slipped on a little white lie
We've got heads on sticks, You've got ventriloquists
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed

Moses Malone is in my top 12 NBA greatest ever easily. Among centers, he & Hakeem are tied at four behind Wilt, Russell, & Kareem.

It's sad and strange that so many former players are passing away so close together... RIP
