The UCLA legend was the first starting point guard for the Seattle Supersonics back in the 1967-1968 maiden season for my hometown team that is now the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Hazzard passed away yesterday at 69. Walt was a muslim and went by his Islamic name Mahdi Abdul-Rahman for awhile, but for professional reasons resorted back to his birth name.
As people I grew up respecting are passing away- it makes me realize how short and precious life is...
