    I remember that guy. Never knew how he died, though.

    I remember Williams/Dele. Tremendous player when he had his head on straight - but he apparently had very real mental problems. Sad situation.

    I don't think they ever found his body.

    He was a really good big man in the league for a couple years.

    Brian Williams was a great player. I remembered him killing in Game 5 of the Nuggets-Sonics series. Looked it up. 17 points & 19 rebounds.

    The boxscore lists him as Bison Dele but he was just Brian Williams back then.

    Nate mcmillan with a very blake-ish 1-6 in that game, bet you he still has nightmares about it!

    Odd, I just looked it up:

    In 796 career regular season games, Nate only had 18 where he shot 1-6 or worse from the field. Or about 1 in 40.
    In 98 playoff games, he had 6. Or 1 in 13 games.

    He was 3x as likely to toss a stinker in a playoff game than in a regular season one. But then again, he was a career 44/34% fg/3p% in the regular season, and it went to 38/29 in the playoffs. FWIW.

    I remember reading about him when he transferred from Maryland to Arizona and how he was supposed to make a huge difference with the Wildcats.

    How crazy that they never found out what really happened.
