Just read that Marvin "The Human Eraser" Barnes died today. Local Washington DC sports fan might remember 2 things about him
1) that he starred at Morgan State before going on to a fine career in the NBA
2) he was the starting Center on the Seattle "Super" Sonics team which the Washington Bullets beat for the NBA Championship.
Sort of interesting to that the Seattle Supersonics' and the Washington Bullets' monikers have been replaced by the Oklahoma City Thunder and Washington Wizards. The Thunder is a horrible nickname! Sounds like a MLS or a NHL club.
