Earlier, according to the US media reporter Kyle Austin reported that former NBA player Adrian Payne was shot and killed, only 31 years old, and then many NBA players expressed their condolences for Payne on social media, and it was a pity that such a player died unexpectedly at the golden age of 31 years old.
The tenderness of the giant, Payne once became friends with a young girl with cancer during college
Penn, who graduated from the famous basketball school michigan, also once worked with the Warriors star Dream Green as a college teammate, the two helped the team win the championship of the top ten championships, earlier today, Warriors coach Kerr in an interview with the media, also revealed that Dream Green heard that Payne's death once collapsed "Draymond collapsed, they are good friends, we have been thinking about them today, too sad." And Payne's former Michigan State university teammate Anthony Ianni also grieved Payne's death, calling Payne "a gentle giant."
Time back to the time when Payne was still playing in Michigan, when he became friends with a young girl with cancer, Lacey Holsworth, when Michigan State university won the year's Top Ten Championships, Payne also deliberately held her to help cut off the Nets, more than a week after the end of the season, Lacey died of complications of neuroblastoma, and Payne also made a special effort to mourn with his teammates at an emotional memorial service at the Breslin Center with his teammates. It can be seen that the heart of this big man is still very delicate.
Payne was the NBA's first-round No. 15 pick, and briefly joined the CBA's Nanjing Tongxi after a frustrated NBA
In 2014, at the age of 23, Payne threw himself into the NBA Draft and was selected by the Hawks with the 15th pick in the first round, during which he played for the Hawks, Timberwolves and Magic, and in the 14-15 season when he was wearing the Timberwolves jersey, Payne also played the highlight of his career at that time, averaging 7.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in 24.8 minutes of playing time. After being abandoned by the NBA, Payne also brought his talent to the CBA, in the 18-19 season, Payne joined the CBA's Nanjing Tongxi, played 8 games for the team, averaging 16.9 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, and then was replaced by the "Prosthetic Warrior" with Saiya Austin, thus ending his short CBA career.
Teammates & Official Bo are all on social media to mourn Payne, wishing him to continue his basketball career in heaven
Although Payne did not play any bright performances with Tongxi, earlier, former Tongxi player Meldan, who had worked with him, also mourned Payne on social media: "My good brother, may heaven be free of pain, a brother, a brother of life, may you rest in peace, rip." Later, Tongxi officials also mourned the big foreign aid who had played for the team briefly. For Payne, it is really a pity that he died unexpectedly at the age of 31, at the age of the current play, because a space-type No. 4 position like him, which is 2 meters 1 tall, weighs 109kg, and has the ability to shoot outside, is really perfect for the current NBA playing trend.
Accidentally killed by the shooting, Payne will also bring his kindness and basketball talent to heaven, continue his basketball career in "another world", may there be no pain in heaven, and hope that Payne can continue to enjoy the fun of basketball in heaven!
