NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's statement on the passing of Lenny Wilkens
Lenny Wilkens, a Hall of Fame player and coach, was named one of the NBA's 75 greatest players and 15 greatest coaches of all time.
While he was our coach we would run into him at the Tangier a few times a year. the man would always look you in the eye and give a nod no matter how busy he might be. he was just a real people person. he would stand out in the hallway after dinner waiting for the show and just gab with us. what a smile. he was crazy good drawing up a play during a timeout for open shots.
