On Thursday, August 27th, the Philadelphia 76ers organization lost an all time great basketball player. News broke out that afternoon that Darryl Dawkins had passed away. The entire Sixers and NBA world was shocked, because Dawkins was — as far as most knew — in good health.
This impacted some of our staff at The Sixer Sense personally, as George Kondoleon shared some memorable experiences with the great player. George wrote a letter to his personal friend shortly after the news of his passing.
Death is a tough thing for everyone.
