RIP

That's terrible news.  42 is way too young. 

He was an '03 guy.

Sad news to wake up to. Tough player, excellent rebounder.

[Surferdad]

Sorry to hear that, yes way too young.

I always liked Brandon Hunter. He was part of a string of undersized power forwards from that era of the Celtics but I had hopes he would overcome that.

I remember him as that generation's Jordan Mickey (fan hype/adoration) but with Semi Ojeleye muscles.  I recall several fans at whatever message board I was on at the time (AOL I think) very upset that the team lost him in the expansion draft (the rules are so unfair that the C's can lose a great prospect like Hunter for nothing!).  Not going to lie though, he was a guy I was definitely excited for and rooted for too.

Oh. I actually thought he was already dead.

I wonder why I thought he was dead already.

RIP.  I always really liked his hustle and ability to board.

Could've been heat stroke.  I remember Marion Barber died during a workout.  He liked to work out in the heat and apparently he jacked up the heat in his house in the middle of a heat wave and collapsed.

Scary to see - I am 41 and do hot yoga every Saturday morning.

[Csfan1984]

Never a fan of heat or cold being apart of health training.

Wasn't with the Celtics very long but he sticks in my brain as I guy I enjoyed watching. Sad news.

RIP he was a physical specimen.

I recalled the 2003  combine in he did 25 bench reps which is strong for an NBA guy

[greg683x]

he seemed like a good guy, terrible news

i had tickets to see the celtics when they played the wizards down here in DC way back in the day, great seats, only a few rows up from the court and i couldnt believe how huge he was.  i convinced myself we found a potential diamond in the rough with him, but i was wrong, just like with jr bremer.
