Roland Morris “Fatty” Taylor (born March 13, 1946 in Washington, D.C.) is a former professional basketball player. A 6’0” guard from La Salle University, Taylor joined the American Basketball Association in 1969. After one year playing for the Washington Capitols, he moved on to the Virginia Squires, with whom he spent the prime of his career, tallying 3,495 points, 1,737 assists, and 1,715 rebounds in five seasons. For one-and-a-half seasons Taylor was a teammate of George Gervin, and Taylor has been credited with coining Gervin’s nickname “The Iceman” (he first called Gervin “Iceberg Slim”, which gradually developed into the more familiar nickname). Taylor spent one season in the NBA (1976-1977) as a member of the Denver Nuggets, and he retired in 1977 with combined ABA/NBA totals of 5,098 points, 2,563 assists, and 2,524 rebounds.
