I am not a Basketball fan either. But he and his daughter and family were human beings first!! We all Play on the court of life. We play Big or we play little. Some heros, some villains~ too many refuse to play big, waiting for Santa or the government to fix their lives. That's the saddest to me! Craven victims blaming any and all for their sorry states.

Hello Panagiota, this is so sad. Sadder for the wife left to take care of the other children. It will be hard for her to raise the children.Have a nice day my friend. Hugs Darlene xx

Its most sad! His ice is so young, his youngest is only 7 months. Another family died sling with them. Lawsuits will ensue but won't bring them back Panagiota xx

Arturo, thank you. It is nippy to the soul. Just watched a news conference. Now nine perished, not five. Were releasing no names till coroner identifies all. Reminds us all, that the line between life and death is quite slim...Panagiota xx

So tragic Panagiota, I was just watching it on the news. Tom
