LOS ANGELES — David Greenwood, who was one of the Bulls’ core players as the Michael Jordan era was getting underway, has died. He was 68.
Mr. Greenwood was one of coach John Wooden’s last recruits at UCLA and would win an NBA championship with Detroit during a 12-year pro career, he died Sunday in Riverside, California, after battling cancer, the school said Wednesday, citing family members.
After a standout career at Verbum Dei High in Los Angeles, Mr. Greenwood began his college career at UCLA just months after Wooden’s surprise retirement announcement in March 1975.
