EL SEGUNDO – Clyde Lovellette, who played for the Minneapolis Lakers from 1953-57, has passed away at the age of 86. In his four years with the Lakers, Lovellette averaged 17.2 points and 11.2 rebounds in 282 games.

“Clyde was a link to our early years in Minnesota, and a key member of the 1954 championship team,” said Lakers President and co-owner Jeanie Buss. “We’re proud that he was a Laker, and his passing is a sad day for our organization. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Lovellette family.”

The Hall-of-Famer was a four-time NBA All-Star (twice with the Lakers), and was the first player in basketball history to play on an NCAA, Olympic, and NBA championship team.

Yeah saw that. Honestly if you live to 86 years old, it's a good strong life. Kudos to him and to all the guys that helped pave the way for this sport.

Rest easy Clyde!
