Basketball Hall Of Famer Nate Thurmond, A Former Bull, Dies At 74

(CBS) Nate Thurmond, considered one of the greatest basketball centers in the history of the NBA and a former Chicago Bull, has died at the age of 74, the Golden State Warriors announced Saturday.

Thurmond passed away Saturday morning from leukemia, according to the Warriors, for which Thurmond spent much of his career.

"We've lost one of the most iconic figures in the history of not only our organization, but the NBA in general, with the passing of Nate Thurmond," Warriors owner Joe Lacob said in a prepared statement. "Nate represented this franchise with class, dignity and humility as both a player and community relations ambassador for over 40 years."

One of Thurmond's post-Warriors stops was for the Chicago Bulls. He played the 1974-'75 season for coach Dick Motta. In his debut for Chicago, Thurmond became the first NBA player to get a quadruple-double by scoring 22 points, grabbing 14 rebounds, dishing 13 assists and blocking 12 shots, according to his bio page on NBA.com.
