| Basketball player, born in St Louis, Missouri, USA. Basketball's first dominating seven-foot centre, his ability to block shots led to a ban on goaltending in 1944 while he was a three-time All-American at Oklahoma A&M (1944–6). A member of two gold-medal Olympic teams (1948, 1952), he was elected to basketball's Hall of Fame in 1961. |
