One of the more colorful characters in the game over the last 25 years or so. By all accounts he was a good man who helped out a lot of people through the years. I'll remember him for, among many other things, the kindness he showed to Derek Fisher in allowing him to walk away to find a city where his daughter Tatum could get the medical care she needed. That just doesn't happen in pro sports, it just doesn't.

This is sad. His family and the Jazz organization will be in my prayers.

I remember him not going to any Jazz games on Sundays because it conflicted with his Mormon faith. Even when they went to the NBA finals in 1997 & 98 he stayed at home the Sunday they hosted a finals game.

Even though I'm not a Mormon, I had always admired him for putting his faith first.:)
