I can't watch this. Drazen is the reason I'm a Nets fan. I still get upset talking about him.

yeh...I have to admit the same...I was pretty damn choked up as kid (Malik Sealy was another one that was tough, both good guys, very unexpected both car accidents)...I remember gettin the news eating a bowl of cereal reading the sports page of the Star Ledger and dropping my spoon...my mother asked what happened saw I was visibly upset...she had no clue who he was...I remember being pist because I thought he speeding in his car in Germany--autobahn...then I found out he was a passenger...

nice tribute...imagine only 28 when his career was cut short...

I'm a die hard St. John's fan too. Most of my family graduated from there so I was raised a Red Men fan since birth. Malik was a tough one too. He was a good kid.
