It's with sadness that I have learned that two friends close to former NBA player Jerome Kersey say he died today.

Man. RIP.

[FromWayDowntown]

Damn. If true, that sucks. Remember being really happy for him when the Spurs won in 1999. He was really good with those early 90s Blazers teams. Will never forget going to the Meadowlands in like 1991 or 1992 to see Blazers/Nets, being near the floor for warmups, and watching Jerome explode on dunks; it was remarkable to see up close.

RIP Jerome.

Wow, that sucks. RIP.

[daslicer]

He was a very solid player for those Blazer teams he played for during the 90's. Will also never forget how overjoyed he was when the spurs won it in '99. It sucks to see a member of the first le team die this soon.

I remember him on the Blazers team and he was a very good player, was very happy for him on the Spurs 99 team to finally get a ring! RIP man, damn thats sad.

Sad news.

Loved watching the guy play back in the day.

He was good as a Blazer.

[tlongII]

The news I've heard is that he had a blood clot in his leg that moved to his lung and killed him. Very sad. ��

Could the blood clot be a result of complications with the knee surgery he had recently? Not sure if there's any correlation there
