Bear Down Wildcats

That’s crazy young. Terrible.

Can people stop with the frickin' "vaxxed?" comments? Young people have been dying every day for millennia. I imagine his being an alcoholic has more to do with it.

That is tragic. He has had his demons and hopefully that wasn’t what took him. He was engaged to be married and he seemed in a good place. RIP Grayson

I made the mistake of glancing at the comments. There are a lot of nut jobs out there.

Damn.

So incredibly sad.

Walton died today. Bummer.

Interestinly, ABC Australia Radio National lead the hourly news broadcast with an excellent obit for Walton, the second story was the landslide in PNG, followed by Gaza.

Is this when Kaibab says something about vaccinations?

Or how she must have been “Hillary’d”.

Dying at 90 from a plane crash that you are the pilot of is pretty interesting. I guess he lived and died doing what he loved

RIP to the man so good at basketball they made him the NBA logo.

Jerry West has died at the age of 86.

Just heard the sad news. My favorite player growing up.

Funny fact, I used to sneak over to the little league field next to mine where his son played and just stare at him.

He was a rare great scorer and great shooter and his head fakes to get his defender up in the air and then shoot over him when he was on the way down was legendary. Lakers announcer Chick Hearn used to say “West put him in the popcorn machine.”

Great GM as well. Just a Laker legend.

My favorite player growing up as well and the biggest reason I became a Laker fan. Dude is one of the goats of the NBA

RIP

Bummed about this news. I remember the phrase, zeke from cabin creek which I believe references West

Yes, that’s where he was from in West Virginia.

Really good memorial of Jerry West by David Aldridge - "Jerry West, as a player and exec, sustained excellence during a lifetime of emotional struggle"

As much of a fashion symbol as a singer - Au Revoir (goodbye until we meet again) to Françoise Hardy:

RIP Willie Mays

Best player of all time in my book.

Didn't even know he was still alive.

Can't think of any better player in my lifetime.

Say Hey Willie...

Willie Mays, Jerry West, one more coming.
