Breaking news on ESPN.com. No link.

Craptacular · 05-14-2003, 01:24 PM

Who??

Ksyrup · 05-14-2003, 01:27 PM

HoF basketball player and former pitcher in the White Sox organization.

Anrhydeddu · 05-14-2003, 01:28 PM

I remembered watching him, along with Willis and Frazier, on the 1969-1970 Knicks.

JeeberD · 05-14-2003, 01:34 PM

Damn Anrhy, you are old...

Marmel · 05-14-2003, 01:35 PM

Why do you think Anrhy likes the Civil War so much? Because the sucker fought in it!

clintl · 05-14-2003, 01:39 PM

He was also commissioner of the ABA.

Craptacular · 05-14-2003, 01:44 PM

Hmm, the Knicks and the White Sox from 40 years ago... no wonder I didn't know of him. I'm not trying to be mean, I just don't understand why this is "breaking news."

Anytime a former star athlete passes away it seems to be breaking news and is tragic. He is a Hall of Famer and member of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players. It would be the same for the death of a NFL Hall of Famer who played for the Packers of the 60s.

I know him more for his time with the Pistons. He was a player/coach at age 25 or something like that.

cuervo72 · 05-14-2003, 01:49 PM

Wasn't he also a GM or something for the Knicks later on?

Franklinnoble · 05-14-2003, 02:00 PM

He also invented the 9 volt battery.

Ksyrup · 05-14-2003, 02:05 PM

No, that was the father of the guy from the Monkees.

Snicker.

Actually, I wasn't that far off with the GM comment:

In 1982 DeBusschere returned to the Knicks and was appointed executive vice president and director of basketball operations. He retained the post until the start of the 1986-87 season.

Anrhydeddu · 05-14-2003, 02:16 PM

Do you know what the mother of the guy from the Monkees invented?

Artifically manufactured boy-bands that would someday become the scourge of Western Civilzation?

Yep, White Out.

Ksyrup · 05-14-2003, 02:52 PM

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. I thought it was the father, though, not the mother. Or maybe it was the Monkee's uncle, har har!

That's why I snickered

Anrhydeddu · 05-14-2003, 02:58 PM

And what did the son of that mother pioneered?

AKnightofNi · 05-14-2003, 04:42 PM

disco

AKnightofNi · 05-14-2003, 04:43 PM

dola...

or maybe it was a sythesizer

AKnightofNi · 05-14-2003, 04:44 PM

dola^2...

or was it kiddie porn. I forget. But he was from Texas, so it was probably colossal, whatever it was.

AKnightofNi · 05-14-2003, 04:45 PM

dola^2...

actually, this should be dola^2, cuz it is the fourth post, but I digress

Unfortunately one of his former Yale teamates who is a friend of mine died as well. I attended his Funeral on Monday.
