Wow that’s one of the best teammates ever The dream career ended tragically on March 12, 1958 in Minneapolis when Stokes drove to the basket against the Lakers, drew contact and fell awkwardly to the floor, hitting his head. Knocked out for several minutes, he was revived with smelling salts and returned to the game. Three days later, the Royals lost their playoff opener at Detroit, and after a 12-point, 15-rebound performance, Stokes became ill on the team's flight back to Cincinnati. "I feel like I'm going to die," he told a teammate. When the plane landed, he was taken to a nearby hospital in Covington, Ky., where he remained unconscious for weeks, a quadriplegic. He later was moved to a Cincinnati hospital, his home for six years. Stokes' illness was first diagnosed as encephalitis. Soon, it was traced to the head injury he suffered against the Lakers. The final diagnosis: post-traumatic encephalopathy, a brain injury that damaged his motor control center. When Stokes' family could not afford the medical bills, stepping up to take charge was Twyman, who lived in Cincinnati. "Things had to be done immediately," he said, "and no one was there to do them but me." Twyman worked feverishly. He applied to become his friend's legal guardian and a judge granted the request, enabling Twyman to control Stokes' $9,000 bank account and pay some bills. He filed applications so that Stokes received work injury compensation, which helped with his hospitalization, care and medicine. Later in 1958, Twyman worked to organize an exhibition doubleheader that raised $10,000 for Stokes' expenses. He handled Stokes' mail, including his bills. And though he had a family of his own, Twyman spent countless hours at the hospital with Stokes, who after regaining consciousness could not speak. |

Y'all drafts are about to get good starting next year 2037- Maurice Stokes (one of, if not the greatest, rebounder ever who's career was cut short by a freak medical accident on the court), Jack Twyman (who helped care for Maurice Stokes after he was medically unable to do so for himself), Tom Gola 2038- this is the big one. Bill Russell, Tommy Heinsohn, KC Jones, Elgin Baylor. Next draft is good too. Pettit. |

Rebuilding with these drafts is fine. I could absolutely have done it entirely through the draft, and I almost did too except I traded away half the guys in foolish deals.
Payton, Wah Wah (that one actually helped me reset so it's fine). I drafted Sharman and I traded for Arizin- they're all from these recent drafts.
There's value in these guys for sure. The fact Spencer was able to figure out how to give them a 3-point shot is nothing short of a miracle.

For the record- Stokes' 2nd season, he set the NBA record for rebounds and FINISHED 3RD IN ASISSTS. I'm very curious to see how Spencer makes Maurice Stokes next season. Dude was on a path to becoming one of the 10-20 greatest players ever before the freak accident. |

rebuilding with these drafts is rough Elaborate. used to be able to find decent bigs outside top 5 picks but now impossible fewer shooters as well with so many A/A+ wings in league |
