Jerome Kersey dead?

[RoseCity07]

EDIT: It's true and so sad at only 52 years old. Guy was in great shape and married for a couple years.

Life was really getting good for him.

Here's his wife's twitter page.

I really feel bad for her right now.

Anyone seeing these reports? Some are saying it was his friends that died. I can't seem to find a real story. Anyone know if it's true?

He looked great last week. He's a Blazers talk show guy.

Just googled him, nothing. Hope not.

Anthony Mason news from last week is bad enough.

Losing our 90s forwards.

It doesn't make any sense. One of the tweets says his friends died. Was there some sort of car accident? No one will say what is going on or how he died.

Just heard on the radio that friends are reporting that he passed away. I didn't catch any details, but I thought he deserved a thread ASAP

Apparently, this was just yesterday he was out with Terry Porter and Brian Grant.

That's what makes this more of a shock. He looked great on the post game shows. He wasn't morbidly obese like Duckworth. I wonder if it was a heart attack.

DAmn... If that's true, RIP.

He was a good contributor to some great teams... Big, bulk, strong, athletic, pretty good scorer, pretty good defender, rebounded, decent passer, and a very powerful dunker. I enjoyed watching him play.

Yes, he was real good. Boderline All-Star would have probably made a few teams if Portland was in the East.

I miss players like him, Mason (who I hope gets will and doesn't follow my mane Kers, X-Man, ect) big 3's that could also play the 4 spot.
