Basketball Hall of Famer Bobby Wanzer dies at age 94

Basketball Hall of Famer Bobby Wanzer died Saturday at the age of 94.

Wanzer played all nine of his NBA seasons with the Rochester Royals and helped to guide the team to the 1951 NBA championship as part of a noted backcourt with fellow Hall of Famer Bob Davies.

A five-time All-Star, he averaged 12.2 points and 3.2 assists in 568 regular-season games. He also was a career .802 free-throw shooter and led the NBA in the 1951-52 season by converting .904 percent of his attempts. He was the first player in NBA history to make better than 90 percent of his free throw attempts in a season.
