Harvey Pollack, an original NBA employee since its inception as the Basketball Association of America in 1946, died Tuesday at 93 years old. Pollack served as the Philadelphia 76ers' director of statistical information for the past 28 years and was the last active original employee of the league.

In 1946, Pollack began his career with the Philadelphia Warriors of the Basketball Association of America, which later merged with the National Basketball League to form the National Basketball Association, as the team's assistant publicity director.
He sat courtside on March 6, 1962, when Warriors center Wilt Chamberlain scored a record 100 points against the New York Knicks.
