Damn. That's sad. I honestly thought he would be a solid player in the NBA. My evaluation of college talent is horrible though :yeshrug:

God bless his soul but for a first round pick especially a big man to have a coffee cup in the league, fam work ethic must have been terrible.....

RIP Fab Melo, I really thought he had a chance to make it in the league...at least as a third big.

I didn't even realize he wasn't even in the league, or any league for that matter. Jeez..

He did his thing at Syracuse.

RIP.

Heart attack at 26....

WOW... RIP. That's crazy. So young. I remember my dad and just about every other cuse fan getting wild hyped about this kid when he came on. He was gonna be like icing on the cake of an already crazy good team.

I remember hearing Fab Melo didn't grow up playing ball and kinda got forced into it because of his size. He was a soccer player as a kid. Also not to take away anything from him but there were rumors he couldn't read or speak english at all and that came back to bite Cuse in the ass a few years later. Jimmy could have been 1B to Coach K 's 1A some day :mjcry:

Didn't Syracuse start that 2011-2012 season going like 20-0 or something? Or was that the year before? They pre-load their schedule with cake games usually but that was crazy... they were undefeated for over half the season and then lost to Pitt I believe. That should have been the year man. I wish MCW stayed another year too. Damn... what could have been.

Dudes like Triche and CJ anchored that team though for real. Both of those dudes developed into smart players and reluctant but good leaders.

I haven't seen 1 game this season :mjcry: but i know it's not looking too good. Transition year :mjgrin:

RIP - As a Celtics fan his biggest memory with the team was getting a concussion walking into a door.

I remember about 4 or 5 years back I saw him playing with ligo in brazil because my girl family lives there and that team uses to party and get involved with some heavy hitters
