We lost one of the great men who ever stepped foot on a basketball court. I remember first seeing Wayman Tisdale when he dominated college basketball for the University of Oklahoma. Then for years he was one of the leading scorers in the NBA.But even greater than his basketball prowess was Wayman's love of God, of people, and of life. He continued to use the gifts God gave him after he finished his basketball career by becoming a Grammy Award winning jazz bassist. And as much fun as he appeared to have playing basketball couldn't match the obvious fun he had creating music.
We lost a man way before we should have. We can all learn from Wayman to make the most of the days God's given us.
