[baseline bum]

Damn, doesn't seem so long ago he was an allstar.

[LkrFan]

Well, that sucks. Hoping for the best.

Dude got huge tbh

[AlexJones]

more proof that 90's NBA players are soft

[TE]

He let himself go tbh. Imagine if he never played ball to begin with. He would've had all that heart failure earlier leading to death imo.

Momma, there goes that man

Heart disease is rough. From what I hear it's about 60% genetic, 20% diet, 20% exercise. So even if you're on top of your game and living healthy it's still largely out of your control.

Hoping for the best for Mason and his family.

You're undoubtedly predisposed to it if family has had it--but getting it as early as he did is on him.

RIP

Damn. Terrible news. Best of luck to Anthony.

I think you're thinking of Xavier McDaniel.

Anthony Mason was an undersized forward who had good post up skills and was one of coach Pat Riley's favorite players in the mid 90s Knicks.

He was sometimes used as a point forward in the post by Riley.

IIRC he was not drafted very high at all. Maybe even undrafted, I don't remember anymore.

For a while he was one of the better forwards in the league.


RIP Anthony Mason

RIP Mase. Was a fun guy to watch back in the 90's with those Knicks teams.
