Marvin "The Human Eraser" Webster was found dead in his hotel room this past Saturday in Tulsa, OK. He was just 56 years old. Webster had been living in the hotel and the staff became concerned when he wasn't seen for a few days. No foul play is suspected and it is, for now, presumed that his death was caused from an illness.Webster played for four teams in nine years, but was best known for the six years he played for the Knicks. I have a fond memory of going to a game with a few loud friends back then. Marvin would stand at half court as free throws were being taken. It was quiet in the Garden at the point and two of my friends yelled, "Marvin" until finally Marvin gave a wave. The people in front of us also told them to shut up, but that's another story.
Rest in Peace big man!
