How tragic. Another young man dies chasing a dream much too soon.

Rest In Peace. This is tragic. I wish they were able to do something quicker. It seemed like it took a long time to stop play and tend to him.

There are some posters here who I guess don’t care one bit about this. If they were fans of the Drive, or if this had happened to a player on the Celtics, they would be talking about now we need to add more shooting, or how it opens up another spot or something.

Incredibly sad. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
