A while ago on here there was a thread that contained an uplifting video on Wayman Tisdale's fight with cancer. Unfortunately he lost his 2 year battle with Cancer at age 44. Very sad news.
RIP Wayman Tisdale!

RIP Tis...a very smooth player to watch, wish i could've seen some of his college games as i am only aware of his NBA days, but sounds like he was a megastar in college.

Sad. I saw his espn interview the last year i think, after he had lost his leg, he seemed like such a great guy with a positive mind set. Great player too.

For those who have been touched by cancer, these stories are just heartbreaking. The big C knows no rhyme or reason as to why, who or when it chooses to play ball. The world has lost a wonderful guy.

Sad news - esp. the way it had to happen...
I remember Wayman well from the mid-90s on some entertaining Kings teams... I guess its always sad when someone so (relatively young passes) under such circumstances - especially someone who by virtue of their vocation might be something of a hero (or carry such an air)... By all accounts one of the more unique NBAers off the basketball court as well...
+1 to what Moses said...
RIP
My memory of Wayman - back when NBA posters were all the rage, there was an awesome Tisdale one of him doing a massive two-handed reverse jam in his white Pacers uniform. The old Albert Park stadium sold out of that one at that Classics it was so popular.
RIP.
