D-BoFats 5 Report post Posted August 21, 2007 Wow! I can't say I'm surprised, but I feel kinda bad. He had a promising life ahead of him, but he quickly lost control of it. I actually made a topic, not long ago, suggesting we should consider signing him as a free agent. R.I.P. Eddie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emory889 353 Report post Posted August 21, 2007 Its always a shame when the basketball world loses a player. Especially one that had so much potential but never quite lived up to it. Rest in peace Eddie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 Wow, that is terrible. He has had trouble since even before he was drafted. It's really sad when you see a guy with all of that God given talent and it goes to waste. I'm not sure how much everyone got to see of this guy but when he was on, he could hit 3's in bunches and block shots in bunches. If he could have gotten his head straight he could have been like Rasheed only much more effective at shot blocking. Hopefully this serves as a wake up call to guys like JR Smith.
