RIP Connie Hawkins

[CaribouJim]

My favorite player of all-time - go back to his Pittsburgh Pipers days after his stint with the Globetrotters: https://www.basketball-reference.com.../PTP/1968.html

For those relative youngsters on this board who know little or nothing about "The Hawk" consider him as kind of a precursor to Dr J and MJ with a little Bob McAdoo thrown in.
