I grew up with Michael Jackson. Had his Off the Wall album cover tacked – that’s right, tacked – to my bedroom wall. As a senior member of the 1982 Duncanville Panthers’ basketball team – district 9-5A champs, look it up – I picked “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” as our pre-game layup line music.
I’ll always remember where I was – Mavericks’ draft, Old No. 7 Club – when I heard the news that the King of Pop/Weird had died.
Got me to thinking about other notable deaths in my lifetime, particularly sports passings. What do you know? I happen to have 10 of ’em.
