If there is truly a heaven, there will be some backboards up there for him to shatter.

I'm still shocked. He was always at Barclays hanging out with fans. One of the greatest personalities in NBA history. Definitely wish I took a picture with him now.

Yeah, it's shocking news.

A very gregarious guy and well liked by just about everyone. As we can see from the reaction of the media, he meant a lot to many organizations outside of the NBA. Definitely a good man.
