Willis Reed, the legendary captain and star center for the New York Knicks who led the franchise to its only two championships and was the author of one of the signature moments in NBA history, has died. He was 80.
Reed, a burly, physical presence in the post across his 10 years in the NBA -- all with the Knicks -- was the NBA's Rookie of the Year in 1965 and its Most Valuable Player in 1970, as well as a seven-time All-Star and a five-time All-NBA selection. He was also eventually named to the NBA's 50th and 75th anniversary teams.
