ESPN.com news services Updated: August 26, 2008, 10:05 AM ET Comment Kevin Duckworth, a two-time NBA All-Star who spent the majority of his 12 NBA seasons as the Portland Trail Blazers' center, has died. He was 44. Duckworth died Monday in Kernville, Ore., near the coastal town of Lincoln City. His death was confirmed by the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. Duckworth was in town as part of a Trail Blazers group hosting a free kids basketball clinic, Fox 12 reported on its Web site. The cause of his death was not released Tuesday morning.

He played in the NBA All-Star Game in 1989 and '91 and was named the NBA's Most Improved Player. Duckworth's last season in the league, 1996-97, was spent with the Los Angeles Clippers.

What is going on???? I knew black men were an endangered species, but damn. Someone called me this morning and said that Dr. Dre the rapper died. I haven't found anything on it so I'm guessing it's an erroneous report. But still, another brotha gone. | |
