@TheAthletic RIP Dikembe, a great player and better human being and a dear dear friend. So many great experiences with him, including helping him raise money to build hospital in his home country.

@dkraft0 So sorry to get this bad news. I had Joe for the 2 years he played for Nuggets (along with UNC great Walter Davis). He was always positive, not easy
on team that went 20-62. Great sense of humor & totally cooperative with media.

@mikefinger Spurs coverage just won’t be same without Bill. Loved that this distinguished SIUE alum always greeted me as ‘Kahok,’ acknowledging my old high school team from same area as his beloved college.
All the best to one of the very best.
