The guy is/was 6'11". If they haven't ruled the body out, it's probably Wright.
 
my thoughts too.
 
Melvin Turpin played in the NBA 1984-90 and started in 1/3 of those games. Friends say he seemed quite happy, and his "suicide" a week ago surprised everyone--except these clowns, whose job is to tell us that he was hiding his true personality, and thus prevent a murder investigation.

Damn. He was in the league for a long time. I remember him playing for the Grizz cause that was his hometown. Very sad.
 
Very sad indeed. Hopefully more details are released. At least this isn't a case like Bison Dele. I don't think they ever found the body.

Bison Dele is living on a remote island with Andy Kaufman, Elvis, and Jim Morrison. TuPac drops by from time to time as well.
 
crazy shit from bill simmons:

RIP Lorenzen Wright. 4 '96 Clippers passed away (Sealy, Wright, B. Williams, Duckworth) + a 5th is a quadraplegic (R. Rogers). Dumbfounding.

That is completely crazy. Did somebody break out a Clipper voodoo doll or something? It's bad enough if you had to play for that team.

Break out a voodoo doll? What like out of a glacier in 10,000 B.C.?

Condolences to the Wright family.

I had no idea that Rodney Rodgers was paralyzed. How did I miss that story in 2008?
 
Suspected suicide.

From the 911 call it sounds like murder.

Memphis police are referring to a "death investigation" and the newspaper is reporting that a 911 call made on July 19 from Wright's cellphone recorded loud gunshot blasts from what appeared to be several weapons before the call ended.

And according to another report he was shot 12 times.

Wright made over $55m in his career and topped a PER of 15 one time in his career.

I can't really feel bad for the guy. He should have been living in a sweet pad with no worries. He basically won the lottery.

Clearly suicide, since he didn't care about wasting bullets.

I hope this is sarcasm, and even if it is sarcasm, it is in very poor taste.

No, it isn't sarcasm. And will you bitch about barfo's post, or just mine? Wright had kids all over the place and was clearly involved in things that he should not have been involved in in the first place. He made more money than most of us will ever dream of making.

Again though, are you going to bitch about barfo's post?

Why would anyone complain about any of my posts?
