Jill Clayburgh, best known for such films as “An Unmarried Woman,” “Semi-Tough,” and “Starting Over,” died today.

But, to be honest, he was everyone's favourite player to hate. He wasn't a very physical center, and he didn't defend well. He scored very efficiently in bursts, but whenever he missed a couple of jumpers or got dunked on, everyone
