Sports' Forgotten Heroes
30: Dolph Schayes-NBA
Dolph Schayes was named one of the 50 greatest to play in the NBA. He spent 14 years with the Syracuse Nationals and led them to the playoffs every year, including 1954-55 when Syracuse won the Championship. Yet, so few remember him or know just how good he was. When he retired he was the league’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder. Dolph Grundman, author of the book, “Dolph Schayes and The Rise of Professional Basketball,” joins SFH for a look back at the terrific career of Dolph Schayes.
