I don't know yet. I know he was dealing with cancer issues but I thought they had caught all of that when his leg was amputated. mad

Sooners legend Tisdale dies at 44

Wayman Tisdale, the legendary Oklahoma Sooner who this year was elected to the College Basketball Hall of Fame, died Friday morning. He was 44.

His passing was confirmed by the University of Oklahoma.

The three-time All-American at Oklahoma, who lost his right leg to bone cancer, had been fighting the disease since 2007. The cancer was discovered when doctors were repairing his leg, which he broke after falling down stairs in his home.

It was determined, then, that the the best course of treatment was to amputate Tisdale's leg, just above the knee.

Tisdale was a collegiate star at Oklahoma, where he averaged 25.6 points and 10.1 rebounds during his three-year career.

He played 12 seasons in the NBA, averaging 15.3 points and 6.1 rebounds in 840 games. His best season came in 1989-90 with Sacramento, where he averaged 22.3 points and 7.5 rebounds.

I just read about this. Very sad. Not only was he a great athelete, but by all accounts he was an even greater person and an excellent Jazz musician.

Bernie Williams said some nice things about Wayman. I think he made a guest appearance on Bernie's CD.

DAMN

I always drafted Tisdale on my fantasy teams. And you know I played him on NBA Jam on MANY occasion. He leaves behind a nice history in the NBA and Jazz music. Much love to the Tisdale family.

Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another

A friend told me that Mike Phillips said Wayman was instrumental in helping him get his recording contract with Hidden Beach.

I loved him as a player. This is a terrible loss indeed. He really showed the league how to play the right way, and how to transition into another career the right way.
