    Met him in a DC airport in 2014 (I think - maybe 2015) and he really was a giant of a man. Yet as big as he was physically, he was an even bigger humanitarian. How many NBA players can say they've made a bigger and more direct impact off the court than they did on the court (for that matter, how many of us can say we've made a bigger and more direct impact outside of our day jobs than in them)?

    Condolences to his family and close ones.

    Rest in Power, Deke. The world was left a better place because of you. May we all be inspired to try to be as good of a human being as you. Sad day in Rockets world.

    A big soul with a big impact on the world that should've lived to 158. Cancer is heinous and life isnt fair. Rest in peace, legend.
