Hall of Famer Paul Westphal dies at 70
Paul Westphal was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019 after an illustrious career as a player and coach
"Hey, now you’re immortal," Paul Westphal said in relating what someone told him when they learned he was going to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
"No," Westphal said during his induction speech in September 2019, responding to the well-wisher, "immortality doesn’t come from basketball."
As we pause to remember Westphal, and share how saddened we are at his passing, we recognize how prophetically spot-on he was.
"Westy" will not be immortalized for just playing basketball. He will be remembered for how he lived his life, and how he treated others.
