    Definitely deserves its own thread. I am very close to my mother...this must be devastating for him. Hang in there Anthony.

    It's such sad, hard news.

    It's nice to see the Spurs respond in their usual classy way and give him the support and time he needs.

    I hope he gets through this as well as he can and can get back to his team soon.

    i knew AToll was a lock after his summer league and called it wayyyyy back then. he certainly sold me. the early signing really confirmed it for me. he gets spurs basketball.

    that said, i can understand his pain with losing his mom. i lost my dad at 19 while a sop re in college. luckily, i had a good support network to help me cope. congrats to Tolliver for making the final roster and i hope that the Spurs family atmosphere helps him through this difficult time. you're in my prayers, bro!!!

    so i looked for this quote, cause i wanted to read it again; only then did i realize it was you, benefactor.




    Interesting. I wonder who the casualty is. I would lean more towards Hairston because I would think that Tolliver would have been on the bench last night no matter what his personal business was if he KNEW that his spot might be in jeopardy.


    kinda makes you think about writing whatever comes to your mind before you actually think.

    i have a phrase on a sticker on the actual body of my camera: think before you hit the shutter.


    point is, think before you speak. there's a reason tolliver wasn't there.

    His mom dying never crossed my mind. If it was me and my mother had passed I would have to leave no matter what. I seriously doubt any team would pressure a player to stay under those cir stance.

    I apologize if it sounded insensitive. That being said, this isn't the time or place for pointing fingers or calling people out. I and others are here to offer our condolences and support...not to start needless drama.

    From the article:
    Tolliver was the youngest of seven children raised by Lewis, a single parent.

    Other survivors include Tolliver's sisters, Leslie, RaVonda, Angela, JaVonna and Suzie and brother Armani.

    This is really sad. But with everything, there are blessings that come with loss. Tolliver is in the perfect organization and surrounded with the best team to help him learn and grow. Nothing will replace his mother, but events like this will endear him to his teammates and they to him. Hopefully, being on the court will allow him to find enjoyment and he can play knowing his mom is watching him; smiling and proud.
