We were sorry to hear that former Kentucky and USC star Dwight Anderson had died.
Variously listed at 59 or 61, Anderson was so fast his nickname was simply “the Blur.”
Unfortunately, his life was derailed by alcohol and drugs and he ended up homeless for at least part of his life.
He was one of the fastest players ever to play the game and at times he did things that sort of boggled the mind. On one occasion after his transfer to USC he was going so fast he simply went under the backboard and tossed the ball up as he flew by.
