He was one of my all time favorite players. I am about the same age as him and remember Bradley recruiting him. It was the days before all the internet recruiting services. It was very exiting to hear we were after a Parade All-American. Coach Versace used to really build up how close we were to getting recruits. I thought he was one of the most dominant college players I had seen. In the pro's I think he was a little small for the position/style of game he played. He was still a good NBA player.I have never heard his music. He is pretty well respected from people who do listen to that kind of music.
I kind of forgot why I used to like him. When they have been running stories on him on ESPN, and I see how positive he is and his big grin it makes me really sad to hear he is gone. I hope some other players can pick up on that positive outlook on life he had. RIP.

Wasn't he on the Kings for 1-2 years when JL was their PG?

I don't know. But I think this is something you would know for sure. You should make a statement rather than ask a question.

I should know, because I've NEVER followed the NBA?
If it's true though, I'm surprised JL hasn't made a statement.
For all 4 seasons that Jim Les played for the Sacramento Kings (1990-91 through 1993-94) Wayman Tisdale was a teammate with him on the Kings. 1993-94 was the last year with Sacramento for both players. Tisdale was a regular starter for the Kings those years, while Jim Les started a few games, but mostly came off the bench. I am sure that many of Jim's career assists went to Tisdale.
Here are Wayman Tisday's career numbers-

Huh?
:roll:
I've never followed the NBA.
I can't tell you the teams JL played for. I can't tell you the teams WT played for.
And I honestly could care less.
But you offered it up. I just figured you musta known.
:mrgreen:
I don't follow the NBA that much either Mob. What I do remember is Tisdale playing against UIUC as a Freshman (I believe) and absolutely dominating them even while being triple teamed. It was a fun game to watch and I liked Tisdale from then on.
I was thnking the same thing southpaw and don't know what the big deal is about asking the question. We can thank da coach for giving us the answer.

Why should he make a statement? Was he even asked? I'm sure if he was he'd offer up a few kind words and condolences.
Should anyone who's ever known Tisdale make a statement? Don't make something out of "nothin".
Southpaw what do you have against JL? Your posts are so anti-JL it is ridiculous. I just looked back at your posts and I swear you must have some vendetta. I really do not care one way or the other but I always need to know why some one feels so strong about something.
