    Thought everything was going well for him in terms of health. A nice guy and all around talent from making it to the NBA and a pretty good jazz musician. RIP Wayman Tisdale.

    Damn. I saw this on ESPN this morning and it just floored me. I was following his battle with cancer and always thought he was doing well with it.

    RIP bro.

    I bought his CD's and watched him play on NBA re runs. I knew he was ill,but I didn't realize the gravity of the situation. I'm shocked!
    I fell in love with him when I listened to him play music.He was such a fine basketball player too.
    R.I.P.

    Sad day when someone you saw play as a kid dies like that. He was a key role player for the Suns in those 94 and 95 battles with the Rockets.
