"Dinner Bell" wasn't my favorite Bullet. He was one of a series of overweight bigs that came through the roster, only to eat their way off. I can't even find a pic of him in a Bullets' uni.
But I was still saddened to hear about his recent suicide.
Rest in peace, Mel.

It's not just the great and good Bullets/Wizards, but all of them, the Steve Colters and LaBradford Smiths, that come to the team, stay for a moment or a long while, and maybe contribute. Flawed or not, they're all part of the family to me. It's sad to see he had such struggles, and I'm sorry for his family.

I feel the same way, Monte. Very sad news.
