Furman All-American Frank Selvy, one of the greatest players in college basketball history, recently passed away at his home in Simpsonville, S.C., surrounded by his family, which made the announcement.
He was 91 years old.
“It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Frank Selvy, Furman’s all-time greatest athlete, a consensus All-American, NBA all-star, distinguished member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and one of the greatest scorers in the history of college basketball,” said Jason Donnelly, Furman’s Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics. “More than his accomplishments on the court, Frank’s devotion to his family was his greatest achievement. Our thoughts and prayers are with Barbara and the entire Selvy family. We will miss Frank dearly but will remember him forever — a true Paladin legend.”
