He was 91. https://www.newsandtribune.com/indiana/news/anderson-legend-jumpin-johnny-wilson-dies/article_eb79d12f-5988-5c93-9024-5a1b96b5a604.html At the time of his death, Wilson was the oldest living former Globetrotter. It was during his Globetrotters stint than Johnny added his own touch to the ’Trotters’ famous clowning routine, kicking the ball football-style into the basket with amazing accuracy. That was a great obit and he sounds like a very interesting cat that could have played about anything, but for the color barrier. RIP SC 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny kiltrunner 553 Posted February 10, 2019 Ok, this is not really deathlist material, but maybe keep an eye on players from the Indiana Pacers. Seems they are contracting their medical services to the local boy scout troupe.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 7, 2019 Former University of Hawaii basketball player Jaaron Stallworth was reported dead today, stunning members of the program who were briefly associated with the Northern California native in 2017. The Sacramento Bee’s Joe Davidson reported on Twitter that Stallworth had “some sort of train mishap” and expressed fondness for the former two-sport star of Cosumnes Oaks High School. Stallworth transferred from Yuba (Calif.) College to UH for the 2017-18 season. He was expected to compete for minutes at point guard, but a broken leg injury from his time at Yuba slowed his progress, and he never played an official minute before quitting the team a few games into the season.
