Former Jazz legend Mark Eaton has died following a bicycle crash.
He was one of the greatest defensive players of all time. He was a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, All-Star and has the highest career average in blocks (3.5). He once averaged an astonishing 5.6 BPG in the 1984-85 season.
And, in his time as a player, he continued to drive a VW Golf. Because of his 7-4 frame, he had to drive from the back seat...
He is remembered as a genuinely nice man who never let his notoriety get to his head, a great family man and mentor; most recently to Rudy Goebert.
