Three-time MVP Moses Malone passes away

Three-time Most Valuable Player and Basketball Hall of Famer Moses Malone passed away Sunday at the age of 60.

Malone played professionally for 20 years, starting in 1974 with the Utah Stars in the ABA before ending his career in 1995 with the San Antonio Spurs. He earned one championship ring with the Philadelphia 76ers in 1983.

"It is with a deep sense of sadness that the Sixers family mourns the sudden loss of Moses Malone. It is difficult to express what his contributions to this organization - both as a friend and player - have meant to us, the city of Philadelphia and his faithful fans," said the Sixers in a statement.

"Moses holds a special place in our hearts and will forever be remembered as a genuine icon and pillar of the most storied era in the history of Philadelphia 76ers basketball. No one person has ever conveyed more with so few words - including three of the most iconic in this city's history. His generosity, towering personality and incomparable sense of humor will truly be missed. We will keep his family in our thoughts and prayers and as we are once again reminded of the preciousness of life." - RAF, GMA News
