Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes, one of the greatest players of the early days of the NBA, died Thursday morning after a six-month battle with cancer, according to his son, longtime NBA player Danny Schayes. He was 87 years old.
"Dolph Schayes was one of the most influential figures in NBA history," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement Thursday afternoon. "He helped grow the NBA from its earliest days, emerging as one of the game's first stars and displaying the kind of passion for competition and commitment to excellence that has come to define our league."
