So sad. :( What a talented guy. May he RIP.
So very sad, such a great man.
Oh no!
Wow. http://www.ktul.com/news/stories/0509/623088.html
Did not realize he was that bad.
Wayman Tisdale will always be remembered as a wonderful human being and a great Tulsa Ambassador.
Dang...easily my favorite Sooner basketball player.
The man embraced life to the fullest...and always had that amazing smile!
God Bless you Wayman!!

What the hell? I didn't even know he was ill. Crap.
A great Tulsan and Sooner. He will be missed. Hopefully a memorial or park can be named in his honor. LL Tisdale Parkway is named after Wayman's father.
That is horrible :'(
I had the privilege of listening to him play at a mini jazz fest they had last fall @ All Souls. IIRC he ended his set with heavy jazz remix of his It's Alright: http://www.imeem.com/people/7rJ9Xt/music/B_bSAIU4/wayman-tisdale-its-alright/ :( :( :(
I just emailed the church, hoping they can direct me to a copy of his performance.
I thought he was doing better after the amputation. This is really sad news. A tremendously great man.
I heard him play live several times, I will miss that. It is a great loss to Tulsa.
One of the biggest and best smiles ever. I had thought he was going out on tour again after the awards ceremony in April. I really can't believe the cancer beat him, I always thought it would be the other way around.
"If you see me smile, you see the genuine love. That's me."

Nice video in this ESPN story.

seeing his smile and attitude on tv last night, i thought that spending a few hours with him would give so many people hope and a positive outlook on things, then i read this news about his passing... my condolences to his family and many friends.

Only the good die young....
Very sad news. It came as a complete surprise to me. I work at the hospital he frequents, and he was always a very nice and genuine individual. My prayers go out to him and his family..
