Former UNLV Runnin' Rebel and 6-team NBA veteran Armen Gilliam died of a suspected heart attack during a pickup basketball game.
Gilliam, nicknamed "The Hammer", was part of the 1987 Final Four UNLV team and was said by coach Jerry Tarkanian to be one of the three best players he ever had at the school.
He was drafted by Phoenix in 1987, and continued in the Association through 2000, with additional career stops in Charlotte (Hornets), Philadelphia, New Jersey, Milwaukee and Utah.
