After a two year battle with cancer, Wayman Tisdale, the legendary Oklahoma Sooner passed away today. At 44 years old, Wayman was elected to the College Basketball Hall of Fame this year.
Wayman was a three-time All-American at Oklahoma who played 12 seasons in the NBA.
Per ESPN ...
After three years at Oklahoma, Tisdale played in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns. The 6-foot-9 forward, with a soft left-handed touch on the court and a wide smile off it, averaged 15.3 points for his career. He was on the U.S. team that won the gold medal in the 1984 Olympics.
Wayman's courage and determination to live beyond the diagnosis touched the hearts and lives of many. He will be missed.
