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.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

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...

 

[Captain Obvious]

Charged with vehicular homicide.

Hope he makes a full recovery or at least recover enough to spend his time behind bars for driving on a suspended license and vehicular homicide.

People who drive on suspended or revoked licenses deserve mandatory jail time. Those who do it which leads to a death of another deserve long prison sentences.

I'd read something about the possibility that he'd been known to have seizures. But if he's driving on a suspended license, the seizure excuse becomes moot to me and vehicular homicide is the right call, seizure or not.

Three years for Mookie: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11773840/mookie-blaylock-receives-prison-sentence-fatal-crash

Ridiculous in its hyperbole.

Maybe Oscar has come to a more enlightened conclusion since he posted
that 18 Months ago.

Doubtful we will know though since he has not signed on in 6 months. Likely
has flown the coop.

 

[bigpern23]

Ha, I didn't even notice how old his post was.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

I would say it depends on why the license was suspended or revoked for there to be mandatory jaiil time.

If it was for not paying a speeding ticket, heck no. If it was for multiple DUIs, absolutely.
