Bummer, he could move for a big dude. I watched the Knicks alot back in the 90's.

I read this just a little while ago. Although I am not a Knicks fan, I hope he can make a full recovery.

I believe he is the father of current Auburn player Antoine Mason. I remember the dad as being a good player on a bad team.

Yup, he plays at Auburn. Mason was huge, broad shoulders and 6'9" and have very good ball skills (which wasn't the norm back those days for a guy his size).

They were a good team (Oakley, Ewing, Mason, Starks, Jackson). They just couldn't around a team outta Chicago for some reason .

The Knicks used him as an enforcer (back when basketball had one), but he was a very skilled player.

The Pistons were a team full of enforcers in that era.

Just saw on local TV. Antoine is still with his dad in NY. Bruce Pearl said it is unknown when Antoine will rejoin the team. Prayers for the family.
