See ya Wayman

[MJ5150]

Wow...I just saw it on ESPN.com that Wayman Tisdale passed away after battling cancer. I'm not gonna lie, this brought a somber feeling over my body and I felt like crying. I never knew the man personally, but I sure felt like I did after watching him ball up some fools in the NBA for years.

See ya buddy!

There's an ongoing thread in bassists on the passing of Wayman.

But just to reiterate: Great bassist, great baller - even better person. RIP

I'm not a bassist though, so I don't go in that forum. I want to talk about his basketball skills.

All those snooty bass players would chase me out of the thread if I tried to talk about hoops and tell me to come over here anyway.

I was just about to post this story...very sad indeed.

He was truly talented in so many ways, and he will be missed.

I posted this in the other thread, but I primarily knew him as a basketball player too. Toward the end of his time with the Kings I met him at a BBQ at Mitch Richmond's house and ended up talking to him for quite a long time, a lot of it centered around bass playing.I don't know of anyone who ever met him that had a bad word to say about the guy. Just a really good dude.
