No, he didn't pass away. He's still alive.
Bradley is one guy who sticks out for me. Universally respected, his talent was amazing. He carried his Princeton team to the 1965 Final Four. Scored 58 points in the consolation game, and seemingly did it with ease.
Played in the NBA, won two titles with the Knicks. Was a Rhodes Scholar. Later had a long career in politics.
Worked at his basketball craft for hours. Took a similar approach to academics. So well-regarded that there's a list of Bill Bradley quotes.
The quotes are often listed with slight deviations. The one I always thought of was (paraphrasing): "When you're sleeping, someone else is getting better."
