Syracuse basketball legend Lawrence Moten has died at 53. "Lawrence Moten was a Syracuse icon," the school’s athletic director, John Wildhack, said in a statement. Moten played for the Orange from 1991 to 1995, and remains the program’s all-time leading scorer with 2,334 career points. Moten’s style of play, described as smooth and effortless, led to his iconic "Poetry in Moten" nickname that Orange fans embraced. After retiring, Moten returned to the Syracuse area to work with youth groups in the city’s school district.
