One of my heroes. An amazing astronaut who demonstrated exactly how to approach an unimaginable situation with no game plan and work the problem.

A statement from the family of Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell on his passing:
"We are saddened to announce the passing of our beloved father, USN Captain James A. "Jim" Lovell, a Navy pilot and officer, astronaut, leader, and space explorer. He was 97.
We are enormously proud of his amazing life and career accomplishments, highlighted by his legendary leadership in pioneering human space flight. But, to all of us, he was Dad, Granddad, and the Leader of our family. Most importantly, he was our Hero. We will miss his unshakeable optimism, his sense of humor, and the way he made each of us feel we could do the impossible. He was truly one of a kind."
I remember watching Jordan, Ewing, OโNeal, Robinson, Olajuwon, Barkley, Miller, Kemp (and many others) as a kid. Itโs why I love the NBA. Bummer so many kids will miss out on Edwards/James tonight. 9PM CST is nuts! #NBAPlayoffs
