Magic Johnson Saddened by Passing of Former UCLA Star and NBA Champion

The basketball world is mourning the loss of former UCLA Bruins standout David Greenwood, who passed away this week at the age of 68 after a long battle with cancer. A member of legendary coach John Wooden's final recruiting class, Greenwood was selected No. 2 overall in the 1979 NBA draft — one spot after the Los Angeles Lakers chose Hall of Fame point guard Magic Johnson. Greenwood went on to have a 12-year NBA career, playing for the Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, and the Detroit Pistons, where he was part of the team's 1990 NBA Championship run.
