NBA Hall of Famer Moses Malone dies at 60

Hall of Famer Moses Malone, a true giant who broke barriers, dominated the boards and imposed his will on the interior like few others in basketball history, died Sunday. He was 60.

Malone was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player three times — twice as a member of the Houston Rockets, after the 1978-79 and 1981-82 seasons, and once with the Philadelphia 76ers, following a 1982-83 season that also saw him earn Finals MVP honors for leading the Sixers to the NBA championship.
