Earl Manigault "The Goat"

Interesting life. Never played NBA largely due to a drug addiction. One of the greatest street basketballers to ever play. Died at 53 in 1998.


"Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who went as far as calling Manigault the greatest player he had ever seen. When Abdul-Jabbar finished his career with the Los Angeles Lakers and had his number retired at the Los Angeles Forum, he was asked who was the greatest player he had played with or against. After a long silence, he answered, "That would have to be 'The Goat'."

HBO made a great movie about his life in 1996

It's called Rebound: The Legend of Earl "The Goat" Manigault
