Former Minneapolis and Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor, regarded as one of the game's all-time great forwards, died of natural causes at the age of 86 on Monday, the NBA team said. The Washington, D.C.-born Baylor was the No. 1 draft pick in 1958 and National Basketball Association Rookie of the Year in 1959. A gifted shooter and rebounder despite his 6-foot-5-inch frame, Baylor holds the record for most individual points in a single game in the NBA Finals, scoring 61 against the Lakers' archrivals, the Boston Celtics, in 1962.
