Thanks for starting the thread, Murph.
Definitely sad stuff. Quote:

My condolences to his family.
In a related (and I know, awful, terrible) note, does this make the Dirk/Traylor trade that much better, and make that reporter who did winners/losers of the draft look that much dumber? Someone's gonna say it, might as well....

Sad news - no one should ever pass away at such a young age
 I should maybe edit my sig and add a cross or something like that...

I enjoyed watching that guy in college. He's one of my all time favorite college basketball players.

34 is really young to bite the big one. Perhaps he shouldn't have been playing BB at all with his heart condition as it was. But I suppose he made that choice for a reason.
