He reportedly died Friday of a heart attack. He was 59 or 60 depending on what media outlet you trust. News of his death has just been reported in the last few hours.

  3. I heard via your tweet yesterday.

    My heart is broken. Basketball Diaries, the book, not the shite movie, was inspirational. To my writing and too my drug use. A mixed blessing, but then, aren't they all? My heart is truly broken.
