Suns legend Hawkins dies
Print Edition
Connie Hawkins, a Basketball Hall of Fame forward who starred for the Harlem Globetrotters and Phoenix Suns, has died aged 75, the Suns announced on Saturday. 鈥淭he Hawk鈥 launched his career on the famed New York outdoor courts of Rucker Park and led two unbeaten high school teams to titles. Hawkins was linked to a college basketball gambling scandal in 1961 but was never arrested or indicted. Despite that, he was denied a place at top US college teams or in the NBA. He spent three years with the Globetrotters and four more with minor-league clubs before reaching a settlement with the NBA in 1969 that saw him join the expansion Suns. Knee injuries limited Hawkins to only seven NBA campaigns but he averaged 18.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists a game for the Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks.
