All Hartman did was develop the first NBA dynasty when he became General Manager of the Minneapolis Lakers in1947 at the age of 27. When he died October 18th, a column of an interview with Adam Thielen was published in the Star Tribune. He had over 21,000 bylines when he turned 100 in March of this year. He has been the voice of Minnesota sports for 75 years. My Mom would have been familiar with him when she attended Lakers games in 1950 with her friends.
Amazing.
