    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ATLANTA -- Atlanta Hawks center Jason Collier died Friday night, possibly of cardiac arrest, the team said.

    Hawks spokesman Arthur Triche said no other details immediately were available.

    The 7-foot, 260-pound Collier, a five-year NBA player, spent his first three seasons with Houston before joining Atlanta in 2003.</div>

    wow, makes basketball seem so pointless...

    This is really messed up....I remember when Jason played for the Rockets a few years back, he always seemed like he was a good person........my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

    I liked his style, also seemed like a nice guy. This just makes me wish that people could see that extensive medical testing (such as the kind the Bulls wanted for Curry) is never over-kill.

    May the road rise to meet you, Jason.

    Former Rockets player dead -- not good..

    Any player dead -- not good..

    RIP Jason Collier, I'm sure Rudy and Les saw something in you that no one else did.

    Stuff like this just reminds you to appreciate the time you have. I hate to see someone younger than myself pass. Especially over health reasons.
