Former basketball great Orlando Woolridge dead

DeSoto Parish Chief Deputy Coroner Billy Locke said Woolridge died while under hospice care for a chronic heart condition.
The 6-foot-9 Woolridge was the sixth overall pick by the Chicago Bulls in 1981 after starring at Notre Dame in college and Mansfield High School in Louisiana.
Known for his high-flying dunks and ability to throw down lob passes in the open court, Woolridge played for the Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Denver, Milwaukee and Detroit, and also coached the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA. He averaged 16.0 points in just over 28 minutes per game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], quickly emerging as an offensive spark plug no matter if he was in the starting lineup or coming off the bench.
"I just love it when we go up in the transition game, up and down the court,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Magic [Johnson] looking for the open guy," Woolridge told Lakers broadcaster Chick Hearn shortly after joining the team in 1988. "I get excited when we start playing like that. Dunn, who played with Woolridge for one season in Denver. "He was a really good offensive player, athletic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], could run the floor, score the basketball. He had a pretty solid career. Just a fun-loving, athletic guy. Just sad news."
Woolridge was suspended for violating the league's substance abuse policy in 1987,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but returned to play eight more seasons in the league,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his last with the Sixers in 1993-94. A scorer to the end, he averaged 12.7 points per game in 26 minutes during his final season.
"He was such an energetic-type,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], big player," said Wolves assistant Jack Sikma,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who played against Woolridge. "He really was one of the early athletic-type players to come in the league, where we see a lot more of that now."
After ending his NBA career,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Woolridge spent his final two seasons playing professionally in Italy.
One of Woolridge's defining moments came as a senior at Notre Dame in 1981,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when he hit a buzzer-beating jumper to beat Ralph Sampson and No. 1 Virginia on national television,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ending the mighty Cavaliers' 28-game winning streak. Woolridge averaged 10.6 points in 109 games at Notre Dame,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], helping the Fighting Irish reach the NCAA Tournament in each of his four seasons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including the Final Four as a freshman in 1978.
Woolridge is survived by his three children, Zachary, Renaldo and Tiana; by his parents,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mattie and Larnceen; his sister, Dr. Vanessa Woolridge Duplessis; his brother-in-law, Darren Duplessis; and his nephew, Nigel Duplessis.相关的主题文章：
