RIP to two legends. I could swear I read something about Kris in the news before I jumped on a plane yesterday then I land and see he had passed. So sad. And I didn't know Mutombo was sick so very sad to read the news this morning.
Hope the thread can take the rest of the week off now.

a HOFer on and off the court. As impactful as his playing career and NO NO NO taunt were, his humanitarian efforts and moves to help the entire continent of Africa are what legends are made of. The sport of basketball is worse with him gone. RIP
**** cancer indeed. RIP, Dikembe.

God took one of the best human beings in the history of sports this morning and decided to even things out by taking WWE Hall of Famer Pete Rose tonight. My condolences to the people who cared for him.

How long before he, posthumously, goes to Cooperstown?
Pete Rose belongs in the hall of fame.
Flawed person but the people that enjoyed making sure he never got his moment of joy won. Good for them I guess.

A few other notables to pass over the weekend:
Drake Hogestyn (John Black Days of Our Lives)
John Ashton (Sgt. Taggart, Beverly Hills Cop)
I haven't gotten around to watching the Axel F movie, I guess it's good we got that if it's any good?

I’m hoping the lifetime ban only applied to while the man was still alive but we’re talking about the most deluded organization in professional sports so who knows.
RIP Charlie Hustle.
Should have been in 20 years ago. I guess we'll see if MLB was being vindictive to Rose, or if they really wanted to make an example of him to prevent others from doing the same. I might feel differently if there was any evidence he ever bet on his team to lose or threw games, but I'm not aware of any.
So I got to thinking - Dikembe is #56 all time in WS in the NBA, and Rose is #66 all time in WAR in MLB. That's two top-100 guys passing on the same day. Kinda have to guess that's never happened before.

God damn, somebody tell the Reaper to go on break!
Long time fans may remember Tom Curran. Passed away in Florida last week after battling Parkinson's sounds like it was a bad struggle.
Couldn't find an OG photo.

Paul Di'Anno - former Iron Maiden singer, 66
Bruce Dickinson is squarely in the upper tier of my top 5 frontmen all time but Paul's contributions on the first two Iron Maiden albums are nothing to sneeze at. A raw, punky edge that contributed to many early classics like their eponymous theme song, Phantom of the Opera, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Charlotte the Harlotte, Wrath Child, Running Free and Sanctuary. He also appeared on a few oddbeat singles with covers and b-sides.
He'd been sick and performing in a wheelchair lately so today's news is sadly not a shock and hopefully he has achieved some inner piece.
RIP

Are there any members of the original band still alive?
Bob Weir I believe was a founding member and very much with us.
Bill Kreutzman I also believe founding, and Mickey Hart was one of their best known drummers who was on again/off again iirc (not the biggest dead head this may not surprise you)

Does he perform with that glorified cover band, aka "Dead and Company," or is he retired?
I don't know who is in Dead and Co without looking it up but I do believe that Bob Weir is in that band.
Again I am not the world's biggest fan but I always considered Jerry, Bob and Phil to be the centerpieces when they rolled the travelling circus up to town.
