The entire basketball world is grieving the sad passing of Nate Thurmond. The legendary center succumbed to leukemia at the age of 74.
Thurmond was greatly admired as not only a fantastic rebounder, shot-blocker, and defensive presence on the court, but as an equally kind and thoughtful person off the court.
He was named one of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players in 1996, and served within the Warriors’ organization as a “Warriors Legend & Ambassador.”
The outpouring of sorrow has not only come from important figures within the Warriors organization, but also from players and fans all around the world.
