Michael Ray Richardson: Four-time NBA All-Star Michael Ray Richardson, who was banned from the league in the 1980s for drug use, breathed his last on Tuesday, in Lawton, Oklahoma. He was 70.

As per reports, he died shortly after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

"The basketball world and anyone Michael came in contact with lost a great sportsman," Zelbst said. "He lived life to the fullest. He overcame the most incredible odds to accomplish what he did in life. He serves as an example on how to redeem yourself and make something of yourself. I think he is the greatest NBA player that has never been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Incredible player player, person and family man."
