I know his main noteriety was as a great basketball player.I myself got to see him play in LA on the USA team in 1984.But he was a fine musician,too.I liked his smooth Jazz albums quite a bit.
May he rest in peace.

Sad news, R.I.P.

Power Foward is my favorite cd by Tisdale....RIP

Thanks for that info as I did not know.I followed his career from OK.I always thought he was quite talented.

Very sad. He was a great talent with a very affable personality.

RIP. That news was a bit of a shock. He was a great ambassador on the court, in the music arena, and in the community.

That is shocking :( It feels like just yesterday, living in Tulsa and hearing so much about this great player. Sad indeed. Bone cancer complications

Quote from the Tulsa World:
On Friday, Wayman Tisdale died of complications related to bone cancer. The 44-year-old Tisdale, a three-time University of Oklahoma basketball All-American during the ‘80s, had battled cancer for two years. Last year, his right leg was amputated just above the knee.

Godspeed Wayman
