    Marvin Barnes, the greatest basketball big man ever from Rhode Island, has died.
    Barnes, 62, died at a home in Providence, according to one of his dearest friends and old Providence College teammate Kevin Stacom. Stacom said he had been in touch with Barnes’ family earlier today.

    Barnes was a high school star at Central High and then went on to an All-American career at Providence College, capped by leading the Friars to the 1973 Final Four.

    Barnes, Stacom and point guard wizard Ernie DiGregorio formed the core of what is considered the greatest team in Rhode Island college basketball history.

    His nickname was "bad news". I think he spent time in jail, no?
