NBA Legend Darryl Dawkins Dies at 58 - Chocolate Thunder Darryl Dawkins was an asbolute fan favorite over his 14 years (1975-1989) in the NBA, most notably for naming his thunderous dunks everything from the "Look Out Below" to the "Yo-Mama" and the "Rim Wrecker." His colorful game matching his personality was just part of the reason the basketball community took Thursday's news of his death so hard. Retired and current NBA players took to their social media outlets to offer condolences and remember Dawkins. Here are the best of the bunch. R.I.P.
