The NBA has lost some historic legends over the past year. Today we lost the great Elgin Baylor. The 11 time All-Star began his Hall of Fame career with the Minneapolis Lakers where he won both Rookie of the Year and All-Star game MVP honors for the 1958-59 season. After one more season in Minneapolis the Lakers moved to Los Angeles. Baylor would play his entire career for the Lakers franchise.
Despite making the All-NBA team ten times, Baylor never won an NBA championship. He set the NBA finals single-game scoring record with 61 points against our Boston Celtics in the 1962 Finals.
