This 1946 picture looks like it’s from a mysteriously unaired episode of Quantum Leap, in which the hero goes back in time as the only baller who could actually shoot the jumper. That was pretty much Kenny Sailors’ career.

He  recently died, at age 95. William McDonald wrote a fine obituary in January 30’s New York Times. Obituaries provide another reminder that the Times remains the world’s greatest newspaper.
