    Former Sooners great, NBA player Tisdale dies after battle with cancer




    College basketball legend, and my good friend and fellow Sooner, Wayman Tisdale passed Friday morning. Tisdale was just elected to the College Basketball Hall of Fame this year.

    Tisdale's passing comes after a two-year battle with cancer. His leg was amputated a little over a year ago.

    Tisdale, a three-time All-American at Oklahoma, spent 12 seasons in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns

    That sucks, I didn't follow his career except for when he played for the Suns and he did well. (better than any of the other POS scrubs the suns usually had in the past)

    That sucks big time. I used to collect Wayman Tisdale basketball cards because for some inexplicable reason I was awesome when using him in NBA Jam. Damn.

    That sucks, I guess I'm vaguely remembering about his diagnosis, but I didn't know he lost his leg. I wish it would have worked. RIP

    Wow terrible news, i still remember when he got his leg amputated. He wasn't sad or anything, he looked like he was just happy to still be alive. It sucks that this happened to him, R.I.P. If there really is a heaven I hope he gets there.
