    Collier experienced chest pains and his wife performed CPR and called 911.

    Amazing. With all the medical exams and staff pro-athletes have available, they still get ambushed. Hoping the cause of death is natural...

    I hope this doesn't take this thread in the wrong direction, but does this give any pause for thought about Eddy Curry.

    Oops; just when you start a thread, it's already there...thoughts and prayers to his family.

    ...but this is exactly why the Bulls didn't pay Curry.

    No. You are thinking of Jason Collins.

    Sincere condolences to the Collier family. Damn.
