The power forward who was the enforcer for Bill Walton and the Portland Trailblazers when they won the NBA Championship in 1977.
Maurice Lucas played for the legendary Al McGuire @ Marquette leading his team to the 1974 NCAA Division One Mens Basketball Championship game against eventual champion North Carolina State led by David Thompson.
Lucas lost a long battle with bladder cancer and he was just 58 years old.
Cancer is such an insidious disease. Back in April, I lost my Aunt Eloise to pancreatic cancer.
I believe Maurice Lucas is worthy of being inducted in Basketballs Hall of Fame.
