One of those rare people who transcended more than just sports. This was a guy who played the college game when I started college and during that time I was paying attention to a lot of college sports. He may not have been a Hall of Fame NBA player but I'll bet of those guys he played with who are Hall of Famers, all will say he was that and more. I love jazz, hate smooth jazz, and therefore am not a fan of Waymon's music, but the mere fact that his legacy is much more than basketball makes me want to listen to his music a little more. 44 years old is way too young to die.
