    Sad news. Still remember that time he considered coaching the Blazers as a negotiating ploy.

    Wow, I knew he was sick (took a leave of absence for health reasons).

    Sad day.

    This takes my breath away. Diagnosed in June, gone in October? Jesus Christ. Reminder that this can happen to any of us. Scary. RIP Flip.

    Both my father and grandmother had similar quick declines (four years apart); seemingly healthy, diagnosed with cancer in November, then gone within a week of New Year's. Can never take a loved one's health for granted.

    Kevin Garnett just sitting in Flip's parking space:



    Say what you like about KG, but he's loyal to his friends and the death of Malik Sealy really devastated him.
