See ya Wayman

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!

-Mike

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.
