Hall of Famer and Golden State Warriors legend Nate Thurmond passed absent Saturday morning in the age of seventy four after a short struggle with leukemia.
The Warriors declared the news of Thurmond's passing on the group web-site, alongside having a heartfelt statement from operator Joe Lacob.
"We've lost one of the most iconic figures in the history of not only our organization, but the NBA in general," Lacob said in the release. "Nate represented this franchise with class, dignity and humility as both a player and community relations ambassador for over 40 years. Without a doubt, he (NBA 2K16 MT coins on nbamtsale) is one of the most beloved figures to ever wear a Warriors uniform.
"On behalf of the entire Warriors organization, our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family, including his wife, Marci. We'll miss his presence in his customary seats at our games next season, but his legacy will live forever."
