OT: RIP Mase

[Rastapopoulos]

Can't believe Anthony Mason died. My guess it was all the steroids catching up with him. Somebody posted this old story:

Another one gone too early. RIP.

At first I thought you were talking about the rap artist... Fuck, I'm young and dumb...

A (possibly) little known fact, Anthony Mason was drafted by the Trail Blazers but never played a NBA game for them. RIP big fella!

Beast in every bit of the word.

RIP Anthony.

I got Anthony Mason's autograph during training camp the year he was drafted. I believe it was after a rookie game or something that was held at the Coliseum. Iirc there was a dunk contest after the game that featured Kevin Duckworth, Jerome Kersey, Billy Ray Bates and someone else. I overheard Anthony Mason talking about going camping with Craig Neal. R.I.P.
