He only played mid season in 99-00 for us, but he was a nice player.

Sad, he was very young.

It seams like alot of NBA players die young. Too many steroids? I liked "The Hammer"

RIP Hammer. Thanks for giving us one of your washed-up years.

Gilliam played very well for us. Seems like we always had a back-up big in that mold. Antoine Carr was the best, but Danny Manning and Tony Massenburg come to mind too.

Rest in peace, my friend. You were too damn young for this.
