While listening to the Inside the NBA post game show, I heard they said Mark Jackson's brother died.  I enjoyed the And1 tour, and the players personalities, and Escalade was always one of my favorites.

I even remember watching him play at Louisville, I just remember seeing this huge player while watching college hoops on ESPN, and thinking how I never saw a player that big before.  Years later he'd re-emerge as Escalade.

I see his weight and can't help but wonder if that contributed to his death.  :(

None the less, R.I.P.

It was nice to see him playing
and I think even better to see him searching for AND one talents
he had pretty good eye for them and did a great job in the
adm. business on the And one tour
Really a sad miss

That was Mark Jackson's brother?  I never would have thought that.  RIP he was great to watch with the And 1 mixtape tour.  Wish they still showed that.
