    The guy is/was 6'11". If they haven't ruled the body out, it's probably Wright.

    Melvin Turpin played in the NBA 1984-90 and started in 1/3 of those games. Friends say he seemed quite happy, and his "suicide" a week ago surprised everyone--except these clowns, whose job is to tell us that he was hiding his true personality, and thus prevent a murder investigation.

    Damn. He was in the league for a long time. I remember him playing for the Grizz cause that was his hometown. Very sad.

    Very sad indeed. Hopefully more details are released. At least this isn't a case like Bison Dele. I don't think they ever found the body.

    Bison Dele is living on a remote island with Andy Kaufman, Elvis, and Jim Morrison. TuPac drops by from time to time as well.

    crazy shit from bill simmons:

    RIP Lorenzen Wright. 4 '96 Clippers passed away (Sealy, Wright, B. Williams, Duckworth) + a 5th is a quadraplegic (R. Rogers). Dumbfounding.

    That is completely crazy. Did somebody break out a Clipper voodoo doll or something? It's bad enough if you had to play for that team.

    Break out a voodoo doll? What like out of a glacier in 10,000 B.C.?

    Condolences to the Wright family.

    I had no idea that Rodney Rodgers was paralyzed. How did I miss that story in 2008?
