She was the strong one, the courageous one, the athletic younger sister who fought leukemia with faith and unflinching determination. In the low post, Mic e Splitter stood 6-feet-6. In Brazil’s heart, she stood taller, so tall her big brother -- 6-foot -11 Tiago Spliter -- will forever look up to her.

Pretty sad to read that and then see some of the youtube videos.
RIP
Pulling even harder for Tiago now.
Damn. Good read though.
The way the writer wrote the article made it even more sad
great read
Great read! It is a shame that people are taken from this world, but at the same time it helps those that remain to realize their dreams.
Good Luck Tiago! All of Spurs Nation is behind you and your family!
what a find by the FO. even if he's a bust on the court (God forbid), he's still living it up in real life.
Don't know if he was talking out his ass, but one of the announcers during the Mavs Magic preseason game said Tiago would be out another 6 weeks.
read this earlier today and gotta say i feel for the guy, i think thats another reason why hes so tough and passionate about BBall. very inspirational story
It's also a shame that the majority of posters on SpursTalk failed to recognize that this was the main reason he decided to stay in Spain in 2007 but still proceeded to call him a "back stabber." Granted we have a lot of dumbasses on this board, you'll be hard pressed to find a thread with more ignorant posts than one that has Splitter as the center of discussion. We even have a "Tiago Splitter Backstabber" emoticon (even though I know this is more a joke because of all of the overreactors...it's sad nonetheless).
Excellent choice to draft him and he'll be worth the wait. He wouldn't be wearing a Spurs uniform right now if it were up to most folks on here, though. He would've been traded a thousand times over already.what a find by the FO. even if he's a bust on the court (God forbid), he's still living it up in real life.
Really touching story. I hope Tiago can dedicate more victories to his sister.
That's sad. But, good read!
