תגיות: NBA, פול סילאס
אבל ב-NBA. אגדת הכדורסל האמריקאי פול סילאס הלך היום (ראשון) לעולמו בגיל 79. בעברו זכה בשלוש אליפויות, השתתף פעמיים במשחק האולסטאר ואף אימן את לברון ג'יימס בתחילת דרכו בקליבלנד.
לסילאס עבר באטלאנטה, פיניקס, בוסטון, דנבר וסיאטל כשחקן פעיל בין 1964 ל-1980. אחרי שפרש, הפך הפורוורד למאמן, כשעבר בסן סייגו, שארלוט, ניו אורלינס, קליבלנד וקבוצתו האחרונה היתה שארלוט ב-2012. בקאבלירס, כאמור, הדריך את לברון ג'יימס כשהכוכב עשה את צעדיו הראשונים בליגה.
בנו של סילאס, סטפן, משמש בימים אלו כמאמנה הראשי של יוסטון.

RIP Paul Silas - beloved Celtic, beloved teammate, class act, huge part of Cowens/Hondo era, 2-time champ (then a 3rd in Seattle), played 16 yrs back when nobody played that long. My dad loved Silas + still complains that we didn’t pay him in 1976. A rare Auerbach blunder.— Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) December 11, 2022

So sad to hear of the passing of the legendary Paul Silas. A giant of a man on and off the court, who was always generous and honest with his time. My condolences to Stephen and his family. RIP.— David Aldridge (@davidaldridgedc) December 11, 2022

So sad to hear about Paul Silas, who was as rugged a rebounder as the NBA ever saw, and a basketball lifer, in all the best ways. Won three championships and played, and later coached, with great passion and toughness. Condolences to his son Stephen and all his family. pic.twitter.com/OSvftBXCRN— Mike Greenberg (@Espngreeny) December 11, 2022

LeBron's first coach in Cleveland, one of the great rebounders of his day at just 6-7 and a towering NBA figure. Paul Silas will be missed so much ... sending love and warmest wishes to Rockets coach Stephen Silas and their whole family. https://t.co/U5LSsEQjzc— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) December 11, 2022
