On the rise
Don Nelson was a transformative figure in basketball, both as a player and a coach. After winning five NBA championships with the Boston Celtics, he gained fame for his innovative coaching style, particularly for pioneering the "point forward" position, which reshaped offensive strategies in the league. Known for his unique "Nellie Ball" philosophy, he holds the record for the most regular season wins as a coach until recently and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012.

The Living Have Spoken
Jack Kirby (1994)
The comic book industry produced only one king, his name was Jack Kirby. The visions he translated to art boards transcended the medium and the very fabric of reality. The industry, and the entire planet, were much richer having Jack Kirby educate and entertain in the 20th Century. A true creative genius.
Philip Seymour Hoffman (2014)
Maybe the best actor ever. Can make you laugh, can make you cry, in a bunch of bangers. Seemingly a good dad because his son's a good actor too. Addiction is a hell of a thing. RIP to a real one.
