One of the most memorable players in the history of the Portland Trail Blazers franchise has died. As reported by Yahoo's own Marc Spears and KGW News in Portland, veteran forward Jerome Kersey has died at the age of 52 years old.

 

I know this isn't Hornets related but it didn't seem to go in the general NBA topic either. He was apart of that really good Blazers team in the late 80's - early 90's. They made it to the finals twice losing to the Pistons and Bulls. It's sad news.

how does someone die from knee surgery?

He didn't die from the knee surgery, per say, he died from a blot clot that formed in his leg AFTER the surgery. His blod clot traveled to his lungs, I think it's called a pulmonary thrombosis? Anyway, I knew a lady a few years ago who went in to have a routine knee scope, then died two days later. Her blot clot went to her heart and caused a massive heart attack. I had the same surgery when I was 19 and dying never even crossed my mind. Just goes to show you, there is no such thing as a "safe" or routine surgery.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
