#CavsRank: At 18, It’s Hall of Fame Legend, Lenny Wilkens!
2014-02-21
Jacob Rosen writing for WFNY on Lenny Wilkens, and what he meant to the Cavaliers.
“He was the franchise’s first superstar, well before the days of Brad Daugherty or LeBron James or Kyrie Irving. He averaged 20.5 points, 8.4 assists and 4.6 rebounds in year one with the team. He made his trademark running hooks and scoop shots and racked up the assists. At 35 years old. He only missed one other game the rest of the season season after his early season protest. He earned his incredible ninth All-Star bid.”
Just phenomenal work by Jacob here.

That’s my favorite Cavs jersey. The classic script with the wine and gold.
Wow, that’s a good point! How is it that Lenny’s number has not been retired? He should be retired for the Cavs and the Hawks. One of the class acts in the NBA.
Wow. What a fantastic article. The Cavs really ought to retire Lenny’s number to honor his playing and his coaching.
