Happy 80th Birthday Elgin Baylor - NBA.com video

[CavaliersFTW]

NBA.com with a nice little piece on him, nothing new but their editing skills and choice of clips used to highlight him improved a great deal from previous attempts I'd seen in the past. I actually like this:

[Deuce Bigalow]

One of 9 players to make 10 All-NBA First teams (Kobe, K. Malone, KAJ, MJ, West, Cousy, Pettit, Duncan)

6th highest career playoff PPG (27.0)

Most points in a NBA Finals game with 61 (1962 Finals GM 5), 2nd most points in a Playoff game behind MJ's 63

3rd highest PPG in a NBA Finals series with 40.6 avg in 1962, One of only 3 players to average 40 in a Finals series (MJ, Barry)

2nd in MVP voting to Bill Russell in 1962-63, finished 3rd 3 times

Best seasons:
1960-61: 34.8 / 19.8 / 5.1 / 43.0%
1961-62: 38.3 / 18.6 / 4.6 / 42.8%
1962-63: 34.0 / 14.3 / 4.8 / 45.3%

1962 Playoffs: 38.6 / 17.7 / 3.6 / 43.8% (Lost NBA Finals GM 7)

Greatest to never win a ring.

[no pun intended]
