Damn so young

On a side note, I remember Bill Simmons lining the pick.

Heart attack that young? Either cocaine or genetic defect, I guess? Seems like the only two options.

Reggie Lewis passed away around 1993 or so and also was young and played for Boston.

He was a 7 footer. It's hard on the heart when you're that big. RIP.

Was he playing in the Brazil league or out of basketball?

An article I saw said he most recently played for club Brasília. I'm not sure if he was currently playing because he's from Brazil.

If I am correct, Fab Melo is the reason why the Cuse got drilled by the NCAA.
