Wes Unseld, the long-time Bullet player and GM, was 74 and died from pneumonia and other health issues. He played center at 6-7 -- really 6-6 -- and started for all of his 13 seasons. The Bullets made the playoffs in the first 12 of his years in the league and won the NBA championship in 1978. He averaged double-digit rebounds in all but one season (14.0 for his career).

I didn't know him, but many, many others held him in high regard as a human being.

So long, guy. Too soon.
