RIP Frank Selvy

Frank Selvy has died at age 91.

It's not that I'm president of the Frank Selvy fan club or even really knew he was still alive, but his name and that 100-point game has been etched into my brain as early as things were ever starting to be etched into my brain; Selvy's one of those guys in the silk shorts shooting a hook from 18 feet out in gymnasiums from dusty black & white photos that I thought were 100 years old when I saw them in like 1983. He's somehow a link from what was before to a future that will probably start start forgetting about him even faster now that he's gone.
