Elgin Baylor
, one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA, died on Monday at the age of 86, as confirmed by the Los Angeles Lakers, the franchise in which he shone in the 50s and 60s.
He was an 11-time All-Star and is a Laker icon: one of the eight players with the most games, the top rebounder in history (11,463), fourth top scorer and seventh best assister in the franchise.
Baylor suffered from Bill Russell's Boston Celtics and retired without being a champion due to abandonment of the activity, product of a knee injury just in 1972, when his old friend Jerry West broke the curse and took the Los Angeles franchise champion. .
