RIP Mase.  That was a fun (yet frustrating) team to watch.  I moved to NY in '94 and have been a Knicks fan ever since.  I wasn't disappointed when he was traded for LJ, but had hoped to see him back in a Knicks jersey at some point.  Always liked him.

48 is way too young.

One-handed free throws and cool haircuts. As a youngster in the 90's, I was intrigued by those things. I'll never forget him. He was also muscular as hell. Hopefully it wasn't steroids that messed him up.

He was actually  a really interesting guy too.  Here's a great interview in which he talks about hard work and preparation, coaching, the NBA's golden years and best of all DEFENSE.

He even talks about teaching young people, especially athletes, how important it is to think about their future financial security.  

I saw the dude on the street in Manhattan one day like six years ago and he was literally the biggest person I've ever seen.  Poor guy.  RIP Mase.
