| Summary |
His teammates on the Weaver High School basketball team called him "Space". Some said the nickname was inspired by his ability to remain suspended in midair on his daring flights to the basket. Others suggested that his long-range jump shots were launched from a distant cosmic region. Regardless of its origins, the nickname stuck. It followed Johnny Egan from Hartford to Providence, and then across the National Basketball Association landscape from one coast to the other as his professional career progressed. He was an elite athlete who motivated a generation of basketball players to strive to live up to his impressive legacy.
