Euroleague mourns passing of Alphonso Ford
With heartfelt regret, the Euroleague mourns the passing of Alphonso Ford and extends its sincerest condolences to his family, friends, teammates and associates. Mr. Ford, an extraordinary performer who held a special place in the hearts of European fans, died at age 33 on Saturday in his native United States of complications from leukemia. His loss will be felt from Pesaro, Italy, home of his last team, Scavolini, to his previous clubs, such as Montepaschi Siena, Olympiacos and Peristeri. Playing for three different teams, Mr. Ford was the Euroleague's top scorer overall from 2000 through 2003. He remains the top points-per-game scorer since the inception of the Euroleague. Mr. Ford played professionally in Europe since 1997 while under treatment for his illness. He announced his retirement in late August and was undergoing chemotherapy at the time of his death. "This is a great loss, most of all for Alphonso Ford's family, but also for those of us lucky enough to have known him as part of Euroleague basketball from its very start," Euroleague CEO Jordi Bertomeu said on Sunday. "Our deepest sympathies go out to all his loved ones."

Give Slovenian buy a brake. For many of us posters, English is not our first language.

Very sad news. Perhaps some level of inspiration and strength can be drawn from this, if for no other reason than to stop and consider what good things we can do with the time we are given.

Alphonse Ford died?!?!?!?!!
He had announced his retirement just last week and now he is dead?!!?!!??!!
uhm he had leukemia, you don't get better from that.
Well, yes, you can get better, in fact it appears Ford went into a partial remission from his original treatment.
But no, the odds were not got, especially after a relapse.
