Former Rocket player and broadcaster McCoy McLemore, who was battling cancer, died Thursday. He was 67. The Yates graduate played 17 games for the Rockets during the 1971-72 season, his final year in the NBA. McLemore, who played college basketball for Drake, was a third-round pick by San Francisco in 1964 and played for five additional NBA teams in his career. The 6-7, 235-pound forward was a reserve for the 1970-71 NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks. McLemore was a color analyst in the late 1980s for Rockets’ television broadcasts on Home Sports Entertainment. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/6402216.html Did't want to be too much of a downer but I just thought somebody should post this
I remember he did something incredibly stupid towards the end of his broadcasting career with the Rockets, but I can't remember what it was. It was something you would have NEVER expected. I'm pretty sure whatever it was ended his broadcasting career... Bummer to hear of his passing.
67 is far too young. You'll be missed and I'm glad you got the see those championships won for the city of Houston. Rest in peace.
actually im pretty sure he wasnt because on the rokets broadcast, worell was talking about how they were good friends and saying he died and everything, he went on for a good few minutes about it and then bullard started yelling at the game....
