Damn, he came to the Warriors in a trade which did not improve the team much but he seemed like a good guy.

 

There should be some Eddie Vedder quotes in that story.

 

Had some good years with the Nets. I don't have a good feeling about this.

 

He was a team captain and he skipped practice to play golf. One of my favorite NBA anecdotes.

Nonetheless, he did seem like a decent guy. Hope for the best but it doesn't sound good.

He's still Alive. Hopefully he continues to Just Breathe and the End isn't in fact near. Can't find a Better Hawk.

 

Mookie has been upgraded to serious condition and police spokesman says Blaylock has a history of seizures.

Ament said: “You always worry when you meet people who have been on your radar for that long, rock stars included. He was one of the one out of 10 guys who exceeds your expectations, in terms of how nice he was.”

 

Charged with driving with a suspended license and failing to stay in lane. He killed a woman. No sympathy for him.

 

Every story I read about this over the last few days had a "I'm still Alive" reference in the talk back sections...

I hope he stays that way...

 

Charged with vehicular homicide.
