    "KiKi, KiKi."

    It's all I ever think about when I hear his name.

    RIP - apparently he was a very generous man to some very worthy causes. Even if he was the owner of my second most hated franchise.

    That is truly sad. I hope the Blazers do a moment of silence tonight in his honor. Hate the team, and dislike the man for some of his antics but at least respect the fact he's died.

    Not only that, but he was the owner of one of the most efficient and stable teams in the NBA. The Jazz and the Spurs are model franchises compared to most teams in the league.

    RIP

    I disliked Larry Miller when i first moved to SLC 10 years ago. But he grew on me. And the one reason he did was his brutal honesty about his players and their agents. Many times he should have kept his mouth shut, but he never could. RIP Larry.

    What will happen to the franchise?

    Will they pay the lux tax now?

    Wonder how many more years Sloan will last as the coach.

    New ownership -> New management -> New coach.

    Anyway, RIP. Sorry to hear he died so young. He was sometimes obnoxious (I'm thinking of the douchiness around Brokeback Mountain) but he was a good owner and a brutally honest guy.

    OK, I guess that's what I was remembering. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. May he rest in peace.

    That has to be the worst. He had his legs amputated in an effort to live, only to die anyhow soon after. The guy was a demanding owner, but if you look at it, his teams played pretty damn hard. Organizations start from the top down. Hopefully he went peacefully.

    Wow. That's incredibly sad. I hope we do something in his memory. Utah's a rival, but I respect the hell out of that organization. He'll be missed.
