I never went to one of his games when he was in the Dallas area. He was in an institute class that I attended. He has a great knowledge of the gospel, which he really impressed me when he answered questions in class.

I saw a clip about him, it was done later in his life like a couple years ago I think and boy is he an awesome humble dude. He was a competitive sunuvagun in his young years. But he turned so mellow and meek, I really became a fan of his then and so this is just a crazy sad story.
Doesn't surprise me he knew the gospel so well like you mention, he is a very smart dude.

Yes, it is truly tragic.

I knew him on his mission, and he was a friend of my sons... such a nice person.

Wow. How sad. I worked in Utah for 4 years and cycled a lot. I had several close calls (even clipped the front end of a truck once when they cut me off) and eventually only rode on bike paths/trails. People are stupid today with cells phones. I found it more and more common to see cars drifting back and forth in the lanes. I don’t ride on the roads where we currently live as there are few, if any, bike lanes.

Edit: And I should add, Mark Cuban is a tool.

I guess being a giant on a bike is still not visible enough for some drivers.
