We were sorry to hear of the passing of Wayman Tisdale on Friday.  Tisdale was a force as an Oklahoma Sooner before moving onto a 12 year career in the NBA.  But to just look at that as the mark of a man is selling the world short on a truly diverse individual.  He became a contemporary jazz musician great, making several albums.  Known for his outgoing and kind personality, it is hard to find anyone to say a poor word about him.  He suffered a cruel fate that athletes face, his body betrayed him.  Two years ago he was found to have a cancerous cyst behind a knee after he fell at home and broke his leg.  That eventually led to the amputation of his lower leg.  Perhaps the cruelest fate was that he was only 44 and leaves his wife and three children.  We see athletes only bywhat they do on the court or field.  There is much more to them.
