Bill Robinzine
From Hoopedia
William Clintard "Bill" Robinzine (January 20, 1953 – September 16, 1982) is an former NBA player.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Robinzine grew to be a 6' 7" forward from DePaul University. He played seven seasons (1975–1982) in the NBA, competing for the Kansas City Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, and Utah Jazz. He is perhaps most well known for being the victim of one of Darryl Dawkins' most famous dunks, which resulted in Dawkins shattering the backboard.
In September 1982, Robinzine committed suicide in his car by carbon monoxide poisoning at an abandoned house in Kansas City, Missouri. He was not on any NBA team's roster at that time.
