Not sure if this is the correct forum, but since he was a Cav I suppose it will work.

He was found in his hotel room after an apparent heart attack. Trying to find a link other than a tweet.

Are the deaths related?

Other than both being big and black I don't believe so.

RIP Tractor. He played pretty well his last year with the Cavs before his heart surgery.

That sucks. Always liked Tractor. The 2000-2001 Cavs might be the greatest NBA team ever assembled. Tractor, Spoon, Wes Person, Chris Gatling, Ced Henderson, Bimbo Coles, Z, Mihm, the 3 headed Brevin Knight/Andre Miller/Trajan Langdon monster, and Lamond Murray. I can't believe they didn't win it all.

RIP Big Man. Liked the guy when he played for the Cavs, seemed like a really cool guy. Interesting (if you want to call it that) stat that I heard earlier, 3 players that played for the Cavs in the last 15 years are now dead.

I am seeeing more and more guys younger than me die from a heart attack. I guess that is a sign you are starting to get old.
