Mikan died Wednesday night at a Scottsdale rehabilitation center following a long fight with diabetes and kidney ailments. His right leg was amputated below the knee in 2000, and he had undergone kidney dialysis treatment three times a week for five years, his son Terry said.

Dad????

Saw that yesterday. RIP.

I remember doing the "Mikan Drill" in basketball practice and camp.

It's because of him I never miss a layup.

Thanks George.

his was amasing. There were a small clip on Eurosport today.. I newer heard of him before though

He was a great indeed

Correct me if i am wrong, but i believe that the "goal tending" rule was put in place because of him.

George Mikan owned the post.

But I'm pretty sure the "goal tending" rule was put in place by the NCAA or whatever it was called back then.

The rule was put into play in 1956, could of been because of him
