If I weren't such a fair-weather basketball fan I'd have known this, but I didn't realize Oscar Robertson was still alive (discovered while looking up the Kansas City Kings after buying my goddaughter's daughter a Kings hat). Actually just turned 80.

Norman Lloyd, 105 today. (Not a surprise in the parts of the Internet I frequent.) Surprise: He is reported to be attached to a pilot in development for ABC.

Also, I knew J.T. was dead, but thought he had died, like, in 2014 or something. Not 1998!

And Rod Laver, 81. What a doubles pair
― van dyke parks generator (anagram), Tuesday, 10 December 2019 17:39 (six years ago)
If we're partnering up, Fred Stolle (two Slams w/Rosewall '68-'69) and Roy Emerson (three Slams w/Laver '61-'71) are still knocking around too. Rosewall/Laver were US Open finalists in '73. Almost all of the Aussie greats from that period are still going. Lew Hoad (who died in 1994) is maybe the only one missing?

Kreskin still alive at 83!
Almost 85 now... and I didn't know until I saw him open for Yo La Tengo tonight.
