Only 48 years old. Far too young. His era in the NBA was part of the prime of my youth with basketball.

Way too young.  Sad.  He's only three years older than me.  Sheesh.

He was one of the first players I latched onto when I first got into the NBA. They don't have players like him anymore. Players aren't that tough anymore.

RIP

Terrible news.  Loved watching him and Charles Oakley play together.

Auburn is correct.   That is sad and way to young. 
If a man speaks and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?

It wasn't that long ago that they showed him in attendance at an Auburn home game on TV.

He was the strongest guy in the NBA while he played and he fancied himself more of a point guard. He was a good distributor and brought the ball up the court quite often for a guy his size.

We can't forget Jerome Kersey from the same Basketball era.

Pat Riley made the #Knicks of the 90s. But Anthony Mason made them about New York. He was the guy you wanted to get your back.

Prayers sent that is so sad.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

That early 90's Knicks team was nasty:
Patrick Ewing
John Starks   
Hubert Davis
Anthony Mason
Rolando Blackman
Charles Smith
Greg Anthony
Charles Oakley
Doc Rivers

They should have won that 94 championship.

An under-recognized pioneer in the changing style of professional basketball.   For all of his strong, physical play,  Mason was one of the forerunners of the modern NBA forward.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."
