Orlando Woolridge Dies at 52

[33WING]

It's always sad to see a ball player pass on especially at 52 and I remember watching Orlando play for the Lakers in the late 80's or 90's from memory. he was no superstar late in his career but still had some great stats early in his career and a prolific dunker.

I remember watching him play a bit and of course see him featured on plenty of highlight reels. Such a young age

It is way too young and it looks like the substance abuse that haunted him through his career continued afterwards.

Here's a good little half time interview with Chick Hearn.
