    He died at such a young age and he just started to have a spot in the NBA after years of hardwork...I guess life wasn't fair to him...Indeed very sad...

    R.I.P. Jason Collier

    Truly sad. I still remember the hustle. There were times I looked at him and the way his face would sometimes be so red, I though he was going to pass out on the court. :(

    Man this is crazy. I worked with him a couple of times in PALS in high school when he would come read to the kids. He was the nicest NBA player and easiest to talk to that I have met. RIP and hope his family does ok with all of this.

    I logged on this morning to check the preseason scores and saw this... this is so crazy esp. considering his age.

    I will never forget the open practice Yao's rookie year when Jason abused him up in the paint.

    Very sad day for the Rockets today including Moochie, Yao, and Sura, his former teamates.

    Does anyone doubt if he had not played professional basketball, he would not have died so early in his life?

    Very sad. I just finished my pc game against the Hawks and saw this from the web.

    RIP, Jason.
