NBA Great George Mikan Dies at 80
Ballers like me respect the history of the game and mourn the passing of the league's first true superstar.
Mikan's imposing presence in the paint was the reason for the goaltending rule and wide lane that current-day hoops fans take for granted. As ABA Commissioner in the late sixties, some years after retiring from the NBA, Mikan introduced the 3-point line.
