13 years later is a little late to start opening his memorial. Man to bad he died, he could have been so much to the Nets franchise. With only 4 seasons he still deserves to be in the Hall of Fame

Its truely a shame what happened to him and I wish he coul have continued his career because I think he would have made his mark in the league. Im glad he is getting a memorial, but like you said, 13 years does seem very delayed..
