The longtime guard made the first three-pointer in NBA history in 1979.
Longtime NBA player and coach Chris Ford, who made the first three-point shot in the history of the Association, has died, according to a Wednesday announcement from the Celtics.
Ford, a Villanova alum nicknamed the Mad Bomber, made Boston’s only three-pointer in its 114–106 victory over the Rockets on Oct. 12, 1979, ushering the NBA into its current three-point age.
He played 10 seasons in the league between 1973 and 1982, averaging 9.2 points per game with the Pistons and Celtics.

Last year I focused on the players with borderline cases and broke them up by their position group: infielders, outfielders and pitchers/DHs. This time around, I’ll examine the most likely future candidates by their ages.
The Cowboys’ clash with the 49ers leads this week’s most sought-after postseason seats.
One weekend of NFL postseason action is in the books, and we’re officially on to the divisional round. The last eight teams in contention for a Super Bowl face off with everything on the line this weekend, with two games set for Saturday and two more scheduled for Sunday. After wild-card weekend featured four one-score games, an epic comeback and plenty of scoring, this week’s action has a lot to live up to.
The Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder will at some point sell the team, but don’t expect that new owner to be Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

However, it seems unlikely that will happen for a couple of reasons.
The first is that Bezos and company haven’t submitted a formal offer for the team. It’s hard to sell to someone who hasn’t put up an offer.
