RIP Pat Cummings

[Blitz]

The former Knick and Mav played in a time when the NBA was, in my opinion, far more fun to follow.
Little if any high schoolers or one-and-doners.
College ball and the NBA had a much different makeup back then.

RIP Pat Cummings and condolences to family and friends.

Agreed on all counts.

A solid pro.

RIP

Yeah. I wonder if/how Pat Cummings would fit in today's NBA.

When I was at law school in Morningside Heights, he showed up for the 8 am weekend runs maybe 10 times one year. It was a year after his NBA career ended. He was average speed even for that game but I swear I never saw him miss a shot.

RIP

A banger who could score, though I don't remember him from his Bucks and Knicks days as being the most nimble guy in the world.

RIP to a man I enjoyed watching.

Yeah. I wonder if/how Pat Cummings would fit in today's NBA.

About 18 feet from the hoop hitting shots in front of lazy centers.

Wore No. 6 with the Bucks if I remember right. RIP.

Yes, No. 6. And if I recall correctly, the nickname Eddie Doucette gave him was "Roadblock." Eddie gave out so many great nicknames. Also first coined the term "skyhook" with Lew Alcindor/Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
