Sheer speculation, but my dad died of a heart attack at age 51. Lawrence was very happy with his move to D.C. Doubt very strongly it was drugs. I am betting it was his heart. He was “found.” Died alone. My own heart is broken. Heart attacks are a quick “easy” way to die for the sufferer, and a fairly ghastly shock to the loved ones. So very sorry for his family.

I loved him so much, but I must say, his calling the time out we didn’t have during the tournament was something that haunted me for a while. Arkansas went on to win the National Championship. I can’t imagine how he must have felt. God bless him. I even wrote a song about our loss, to the tune of “What becomes of the broken hearted?” (Who has a team that’s now departed.)

He leaves behind a mourning community. I hope he knew how much people loved him when he was alive. I think he did.

Arkansas had won the NC in '94. They were trying to repeat and we had them on the ropes. UCLA ended up winning in '95.

Great video. Hadn’t watched his highlights in awhile and was such a fun player to watch. Fitting the final clip is a dish from Red for a dunk

RIP - this is a sad day
