Darryl Dawkins recently passed away. Now Moses Malone joins him in the afterlife. According to multiple media reports, Malone passed away at the age of 60.
I’ll never forget watching footage from back then during the Sixers’ championship run in 1983. Fo, fo, fo.
His death may have been the result of a heart attack.
Calvin Murphy devastated his close friend Moses Malone died today in Norfolk, Va where Calvin says it was from an apparent heart attack

Charles Barkley always credited Moses Malone with teaching him to be a pro in the NBA. Crushing news for him. He'll have poignant words.
