Edward “Eddie” Taylor was a flashy ball-handler, a pinpoint passer and was famed for his high-arch long-distance shooting prowess. Taylor had a decade-long professional basketball career – mostly in minor leagues. For all of his skills, Taylor never stuck with any major league team. In the minor leagues, however, he was the star of multiple championship teams and a consistent top-ten scorer.

Bob Taylor won a total of twelve letters in a combination of four sports, during his athletic career at Muskingum College in Zansville, Ohio. Taylor played pro basketball for five seasons, from 1928 through 1933. In his first pro season he played over forty games by sharing his considerable skills with six different teams. In later seasons, he played in two different versions of the National Professional Basketball League, failed forerunners of the National Basketball League that would be successful in the mid-1930’s. Taylor played for the Akron-based Goodyear Tire Company for two years. In March of 1933, Taylor left Goodyear to take a new job with a company in Chicago. With the move, Taylor also left his pro basketball career behind him and retired from the game.
