Related Topics: Connie Hawkins

It is with teary eyes and a heavy heart I am writing this article. Connie Hawkins, a basketball legend and an even better person, has passed away at the age of 75.

A motto to live by – You take what life gives you, fight through adversity to be one of the best at what you do and remain humble throughout.

Connie, in my opinion, could not have been a better example of this.

Growing up in New York, his basketball skills quickly made him like a mythical creature out of a story book.
