    Luke changed the tide of the '77 NBA finals squaring up with a 20 year old, 290 pound Darryl Dawkins. Blazers had lost the first two and then took the next four in mostly convincing fashion -


    RIP to one of the forgotten good players of the game.

    Didn't realize he was sick. As a Lakers fan, the lasting memory of Lucas in purple and gold is him being overmatched against Houston in the 1986 WCF. He also makes a brief appearance on the Lakers' 1987 championship DVD as the "King of Pain" returned to the Forum as a member of the Sonics. And Bill named Luke after Luke.

    As I recall from "Loose Balls," Maurice Lucas was one of the first players to do pregame stretching. He was the island of sanity on that insane Spirits of St. Louis team.

    That 1977 final was awesome. Walton, Lucas and Lionel Hollins on the Blazers, and Erving, McGinnis and Doug Collins on the 76ers. The Sixers' front line was all ex-ABA
