NBA Hall of Famer Bob Lanier has died at the age of 73
The eight-time All-Star basketballer passed away surrounded by his family, after suffering a short illness.
The NBA released a statement confirming the news of the beloved legend, who played for 14 years as a professional basketballer.
“Bob Lanier was a Hall of Fame player and among the most talented centers in the history of the NBA, but his impact on the league went far beyond what he accomplished on the court.

We send our deepest condolences to Bob’s family and friends”
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver
Lanier played 14 seasons with the Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks and was the number one draft pick in 1970.
He averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game during his stellar career.
He had an enormous influence on the NBA community serving as President of the National Basketballers Association and the league’s global ambassador for 30 years.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
