Moses Malone
dies at age 60
(AP) -- Moses Malone devoured
rebounds so easily it sometimes
seemed he missed shots on purpose
to pad his total before scoring. All
Moses Malone
those points and rebounds made
Malone an NBA great.
A three-time NBA MVP and
one of basketball’s most ferocious
rebounders, Malone died Sunday
in Norfolk, Va., where was sched-
uled to appear at a charity golf
event. He was 60. The death was
caused by cardiovascular disease,
the Virginia medical examiner’s
office said Monday.
Nicknamed the “Chairman of
the Boards,” Malone was induct-
ed himself in 2001 and remains in
the NBA’s top 10 in career scoring
and rebounding.
A 6-foot-10 center who was the
first to make the leap right from
high school to the pros, Malone is
the NBA’s career leader in offen-
sive rebounds and led the league
in rebounds per game for five
straight seasons from 1980-85.
