  • Wayman Tisdale discusses his fight against cancer that forced him to have his leg amputated, and eventually took his life. No smile was as genuine than Wayman Tisdale. You would have to look long and hard to find a better man than he was. May he live forever beside the Lord! The world has lost one of its best men.

    I have never seen a man with such determination and will to live despite the obstacle he had to face. I loved his music and his game on the court. He reminded me that nothing is too big for God. My prayers to the Tisdale family. Wayman, I will miss you but your music will be with us for ever. I'm sure God is enjoying you up close and personal.

    I didn't know much about Wayman until seeing him perform on a beautiful summer evening on the Chicago lakefront a few years back. He brought incredible energy to that stage, and had the entire audience feeling like we were all each other's friends. It was obvious that, in addition to being a wonderful musician, Wayman had a zest for life and just oozed sheer joy. A very special man indeed, one to be emulated for many reasons. May God bless his family. Heaven is one funky party tonight.

  • @Footprintz1
    @Footprintz1 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Whoa! Thanks big time for posting this inspirational video. I'd heard and enjoyed his music. Didn't know he was a basketball player or such an awesome man. I 'm not struggling with cancer, but his encouragement and learning through this has strengthened and encouraged me to "Never give up , Quiting is not an option". Until that last breath, I'll keep fighting my fight to overcome my stuff. I pray continued blessings to the Tisdale family. Thank you Bruh. Thank God for your life and family.

    After he spent about five minutes talking with me as an autograph seeker after an OU game, he took my team schedule and made sure the whole team autographed it. Five minutes with my hero and one of the greatest human souls I ever encountered changed my life. I miss you Wayman.

    When I heard the news from my son while I was at work I was devastated & saddened. Me and the wife had just saw him performed 4/25/09 at the City of Lights Jazz Festival in Las Vegas. Im tearing as Im writing this, but he had us all on our feet when he did a medley of old school songs near the end of his performance. Words can't express how I fell but to Regina and your children keep the faith, and may God continue to bless you. I will miss you Wayman but your music will be with us for ever.

    When I was a kid my father was in the Air Force and we were stationed just outside of Oklahoma City from 1980-1984. He was then transferred to a military base in Sacramento so I got to see Wayman play a lot throughut his career. As great of a player he was on the court, he was 100 times a better human being. Wayman's positive spirit is an inspiration to all of us. RIP Wayman.

    I am so hurt to hear about Wayman Tisdale's death. I remember his early days in the NBA when he played for Indiana. I had a major crush on him back then. But then over the years, I'd lost touch with his NBA career. I had heard that he played music. It seemed to be a great love in his life. It is simply tragic for such a great man to leave this earth so soon. I send prayers to his family and friends.

    Ive had the opportunity to have two conversations with Wayman, once at the Michael Jordan camp with Marcus Miller at UCSB and another time at a Marcus Miller concert at UCLA. Im a fellow bass player and he did not hold back his knowledge in discussing the instrument with me. He was a very down to earth person, just an all around great guy. He will be missed. My regards to the Tisdale family, friends and fans. (Revelation 21: 1- 5)

    I couldn't believe it when he passed - I thought he was going to make it. I was recently diagnosed and was in the hospital with diabetes when I heard about his amputation; naturally this idea was scary for both of us. Thankfully for me, I no longer need insulin and am thus far maintaining control with pills.Hopefully this means that I won't eventually lose a leg. I desperately wish there could have been a pill to help Wayman. 4000 attended his funeral yesterday. It was broadcast online.
