Great Blog!
Ted,
Great article about Elgin Baylor. I am in 100% agreement with you. I think Baylor was the reason Chick Hearn developed expressions like “Leaping Lena”; “Hangs in the Air”; etc. Baylor was a treat to watch.
One omission: When you listed Laker centers who played with Baylor, how could you omit Ray Felix?
