Elden Campbell, a former NBA center, passed away at 57. Known for his defensive skills and steady contributions, Campbell played 15 seasons in the league, averaging 10.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game. Drafted 27th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in 1990, he became a key figure during the team’s transitional years following Magic Johnson’s initial retirement.
After eight and a half seasons with the Lakers, Campbell was traded to the Charlotte Hornets, where he helped lead the team to three consecutive playoff appearances, including a deep run to the 2001 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Later, he joined the Detroit Pistons and played a vital role in their 2004 championship victory, a full-circle moment against his hometown Lakers.
