Sad. Complete basketball legend.

Also R.I.P Chadwick Boseman, friends with Oladipo yes? Assumed he helped Victor's fitness transformation.

For all those espousing this BLM shit - you sure are quiet when it comes to one of the great men that just passed away. A role model and a hero.

Completely agree. Legend is used a lot but is appropriate in this case.

saying R.I.P. to someone after they passed away is like saying 'I owe that dead man money, and thank the Lord I don't need to pay up'

What are you talking about? There has been numerous tributes to John Thompson and he was fighting for equality for years. He did what the NBA did this past week by walking out of a game and Patrick Ewing recently posted a tribute video to him titled "Black Lives Matter." There has been few figures in sports that truly signified what Black Lives Matter was all about more than John Thompson. He was a pioneer and a legend. RIP.
