Twyman was also known for his humanitarian efforts. He became the legal guardian of his teammate Maurice Stokes, who was paralyzed due to the aftereffects of a head injury suffered during the final game of the 1958 regular season, to help with medical finances. Twyman also organized the NBA's Maurice Stokes Memorial Basketball game, held at Kutsher's Country Club in Monticello, New York, to raise funds for needy former players from the game's early years - first to raise funds for Stokes's care and after his death, for other players. (The fundraising effort continues to this day, but the basketball game has been replaced by a pro-am golf event featuring NBA players.)

Going to be a tough choice for me if I don't get lucky in the lotto...Twyman, Hagan, Stokes, and Jones all look good to me.
