Bob Boozer, an Olympic gold medalist and original Bull, died Saturday night in Omaha, Neb. He was 75.
Boozer's wife, Ella, told the Associated Press that he suffered a brain aneurysm.
The Bulls selected Boozer as one of 18 picks in the May 1, 1966, expansion draft to stock the fledgling franchise's initial roster. Boozer averaged 20.4 points and 8.7 rebounds in three seasons with the Bulls that included a 1968 All-Star Game appearance.
