NBA shot-blocking king and Utah Jazz legend Mark Eaton has died. He was 64.
ESPN reported that Eaton died as a result of a bicycle crash.
The 7-foot-4 center twice won the NBA defensive player of the year award.
He spent his entire career with the Jazz, led the league in blocks per game four times and his average of 5.6 per contest in 1984-85 remains the highest average since the NBA started officially tracking that statistic.
Eaton's No. 53 was one of the first jerseys retired by the Jazz.
