Way too young. RIP

That's too bad. At 34 as well...

Wowww, definitely way too young. Unfortunately, he'll always be known as the guy who got traded for Dirk Nowitzki on draft night. R.I.P.

A heart attack at the age of 34, my goodness what a shame. He clearly didn't take enough care of himself in Puerto Rico or wherever he was found. But that's just speculation on my part. RIP.

He had a very rough upbringing. It says something about him that he was able to make it to the NBA at all.

It's terrible for anyone to die so young. My sympathies to his loved ones, especially his children.
