What is up with so many NBA athletes, particularly black Americans, dying young? Like they aren't even making it to 60-65. Is it cause some of these guys are tall AF?

My guess is they are being killed by a combination of police and covid.

RIP Cliff.

Former Trail Blazers teammates Jerome Kersey, Drazen Petrovic, Cliff Robinson and Kevin Duckworth all passed away. They played together in 1990 I think (would have to check.)

From those Blazers teams, Drazen Petrovic, Kevin Duckworth, Jerome Kersey, and now Cliff Robinson all died early. Pretty crazy.

Damn, RIP Cliff.

Would it be fair to say he was a diet coke zero without the fizz precursor to someone like KG?

He was the reason I started watching the Blazers. Used to watch games just to see how many threes he was going to make. Back then threes were not as common. I think he had a health scare years back. I wonder if it was the same thing. RIP

What do you think about people calling your team the “jailblazers”? I just thought it was immature
