    RIP Moses! It's really sad that a lot of these great athletes die so early. I guess pushing your body like that has some blow back

    All of these guys dying so young makes you wonder if there are health risks associated with being that big or the life style.

    As a Blazer fan, I used to hate watching him use his big butt backing in for a shot, but man he was talented. RIP, big guy.

    I dunno what the life expectancy is for people who are 6'10"+ but 60 still seems low. Shame.

    Growing up besides our Blazers, those Sixers teams with him, Doc and Cheeks were my favorites. Very sad......... #FoFoFo

    RIP Moses. You should have been a trail blazer for your entire NBA career. Instead we made the worst trade in our history and shipped you to Buffalo Braves.

    I still dream of what could have been........Hollins-Davis-Gross-Lucas-Malone (once Big Bill went down and off the San Diego anyways).

    Man, what a shock, I had not heard anything about his being sick. Is it just me or do we seem to be losing a lot of legends (not just sports) recently?
