There are some great stories about Oliver Miller. He wasn't the fittest guy, but losing him at this age is sad.

Easily one of the most talented players on that expansion team.

He was fun to watch.

R.I.P. 54 is still too young, condolences to his freinds and family.

He played for Toronto just before I became a Raptors fan, all I remember of him are memes about his weight.

Only 54, very sad. Before the Raps he had a fairly important role on the 93 Suns Finals team. Am I recalling correctly that he had three separate stints with the Raps? If he could have kept his weight under control he'd have been even better. Very effective post player in that era. I'm sure Sir Charles will give a nice tribute to his former teammate next time he's on air.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

RIP to a Raps legend. I'll always remember being at the game we beat the 72 Bulls and watching him crush the Bulls inside.
