One of my favorite players when I was young

It was a shame that he could never beat those demons years ago or he would have been one of the best of all time

The guy missed 4 seasons because of substance abuse issues and returned to average 12 pts and 8 rebs in 55 games. Just like that.

Natural talent if there ever was one.

very sad

his collapse into drugs is essentially what caused the Mavs to suck so much arse in the early to mid 90s b/c they were banking on him to carry the franchise.

i hope he finally has peace

Surprised he made it to 50. He was a player ahead of his time. RIP Roy

The man was a beast when he wasn't on the drugs. Damn shame.

Well, he might've been a beast when he was on drugs. But drugs tend to kill durability.

Let me correct myself....he was a beast when he wasn't on drug suspension. Better?
