Wow, this is such a shock.

He was one of my favorite basketball players when I was a kid. R.I.P. Dennis.

He was such a great and scrappy player. He could do it all and most importantly he was a hell of a person. He will be missed.

He looked a bit heavy the last time I saw him. I have his basketball card somewhere. Fleer '89 or something.

I just saw him on ESPN classic last week when the Celtics beat the Atlanta Hawks in game 7 of the 88 playoffs. Larry Bird said that DJ was the best teammate he has ever played with. I always wondered why DJ never got a head coaching position in the NBA. It was very sad news hearing him pass away at such a young age.

RIP

When I heard the story break on the radio at first I thought they said Dennis Rodman! When they said he was 52, I knew I misheard; Mr. Rodman is only 45.
