    Kind of a bad highlight mix Mason was one of best passers and ball handlers ever at his position and it just shows a guy who could barely dunk dunking a bunch of times.

    Doesn't sound good

    48 is so young

    Lot of black athletes die young

    Great genetics to be a superstar athlete but shitty genetics for longevity

    A lot of glowing words for a man who pled down from statutory rape to just "fooling around" with a 15 year old girl, incited a riot in Charlotte and assaulted a police officer, and with a little help from his friends assaulted 3 bar patrons in New York City. Good riddance.

    He passed away


    Anthony Mason, a longtime NBA player who helped the New York Knicks reach the 1994 NBA Finals, has died at the age of 48.
    A Knicks spokesperson confirmed Mason's death to ESPN. The 13-year NBA veteran had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure earlier this month.
    Mason's son, Anthony Jr., released a statement:
    First, I want to thank all those who offered prayers and well-wishes for my Father, our family really appreciated it. Overnight, New York City and the world lost a legend, a friend, a brother...but more than anything, our father, Anthony Mason. As you all would expect, our father—Big Mase—put up an incredible fight dealing with severe heart issues. I'm wishing this was something else I was writing, but Pops, we've got to let you know we love you and know you'll always be with us.
    I ask at this time that you respect our family's privacy with regard to questions as our family takes the time to mourn.

    Don't even mention Miami Heat, Mase was a NEW YORK KNICK....and yes, Billy Joel was right; "Only the Good Die Young"---there's no justification for it. Not fair.

    One of the NBA greats during the Patrick Ewing / Michael Jordan era. Dude always had some wild hair cut designs. 48 way too young. Really sad way to go out. RIP.
