'The population is about 250 people. But it's my town. It doesn't matter how small it is. I want to help.' Hall of Famer SpencerHaywood on his desire to help Silver City after it was devastated by a tornado.
Haywood is trying to stop the pattern by bringing attention to not just Silver City, but the entire area, because he knows all too well what's likely to happen.
Haywood is helping Silver City by talking about the devastation there and mustering support from every corner of the NBA world he can. He's still immensely popular and well known in that universe because of his impressive career and also because of something he did that some may have forgotten. He was the youngest player on the 1968 gold medal Olympic team. After two years in college, in 1970, Haywood joined the ABA and became one of the greatest rookies in that league ever.
He made five All-Star teams, two All-NBA first teams and two All-NBA second ones. Haywood signed with Seattle but the NBA had a rule that players couldn't turn professional until four years removed from high school. Haywood challenged the NBA and the case reached the Supreme Court where Haywood won. That case paved the way for undergraduates and high school players to enter the NBA. It remains one of the most important athlete rights cases of all time.
