    Horrible news. So sorry to hear this. I met him very briefly back in the 2000's.

    RIP.

    Behad's full court extravaganza, followed by bbq. Game 2, the younguns said "everybody over 30, vs everybody under 30." I was done and needed a break, my 1st game full court after blowout knee rehab, It went really well, but yet again, they say "get out here"?

    Bad Idea Jeans.

    Us older people got smoked...I remember Larry (Rockets2K) saying "gimme the ball in the right corner 3pt line"...so I did...he impersonated Kareem's skyhook from there...nothing but net.

    It was the highlight of that game.

    Has anyone heard from @Behad or @codell?

    Edit: Glad to see @Behad was online a day ago. @codell last over a year ago. They both used to be active in the game chats.

    Larry sadly lost his grandchild some years ago. I never met him in person, but in the earlier years, we sent quite a few messages back and forth. I had tried to reach out in recent years, but hadn't heard back.

    It is a reminder that we are all getting older, and that I should argue less online, be more civilized and more forgiving. Basically, what Larry told all of us many times over the years.

    I've been wondering for awhile what happened to @jiggfly, @RayRay10, and if it was ever confirmed that @CometsWin had passed away? All of them used to post a lot and haven't been heard in awhile.

    Larry had stories. You knew they were not bullshit stories but totally legit from back in the 70's or whenever.

    Shocked and saddened by this news.

    Larry was a legend and just a great person.

    He will be missed.

    Clutchfans some kind of way to commemorate him.
