Willie Naulls, early years' NBA star with the NY Knicks and Boston Celtics died at age of 84.
Naulls played collegiately at UCLA where he was an All-American in 1956 and was invited to the Olympic trials where he starred in the same squad with Bill Russell and KC Jones. He finished second in scoring and rebounding for his team (preceeded by Russell) but was just selected as an alternate and finally didn't make the Olympic team.
