I'm only four years younger. While he was going through SU I was HS. Damn.

 

[OrangeOnions]

Just received word from a friend in the know that he heard this too. Terrible. Rest in power LEGEND.

 

[mlbball99]

Any idea what happened?

 

[PeteCalvin]

Wait, is this true or BS?

 

[orangefog]

No freaking way

 

[syrBossHogg]

Awful news. RIP

 

[Cuse4455]

What!

 

[Marsh01]

Sick right now. If you werent alive to see him play you missed out big time.

I got a chance to hang out with the Boeheim's Army team about 10 years ago and it was really fun chatting with the players that I had watched over the years. But the guy who stood out, who I was most nervous to meet, was Lawrence Moten. That guy was so cool on and off the basketball court.

 

[Cheriehoop]

OMG that’s horrible! So sad.

 

[RF2044]

OH NO!!!

So sad -- my dad just talked to him fairly recently.

Great player, even better dude.

RIP

I met Lawrence Moten back in 2011 when he and Pearl were doing a charity event at the Fair over near the old grandstand. My son and I were on our way to see a concert and they were at a nearby tent signing autographs. My son and I got our picture taken with the two of them. I have to pull that off the hard drive and frame it. Two of my all time favorites lost to the ages.

This is so upsetting. His freshman year was my freshman year. He was so good right out of the gate.

I got to meet him a few years ago, 2021 I think, when I was up there for the Rutgers football game. Really nice guy. All he talked about was his daughter.

RIP to one of the legends.

What the hell. Wayyy too young.

RIP

I'm sick right now. He was my favorite player when I was a kid. His last 3 years where my 8th, 9th and 10th grade years so I was at the right age but just loved watching him play. So smooth and just scored within the offense. I never met him but was always told what a great guy he was. Such a huge loss.

 

[PauliePeppas]

This is gut wrenching

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Moten was a guy that just dripped coolness.

RIP

Lawrence Moten was the first Syracuse star i cared about. I decided to attend Syracuse only weeks before the 1995 NCAA Tournament. I remember watching that Tournament as passionate about a sports program as I had ever been and I remember Poetry in Motion leading the way. Gutted at this one.

 

[orange79]

So sad. An unheralded recruit from DC, almost an afterthought. Averaged 18 PPG as a freshman, and finished averaging 19+. Still the SU leading scorer. RIP, legend.

 

[Ryand877]

This one stings. One of my all time favorites. RIP.

 

[Frozen]

I was a freshman in his senior year. He was the first star in my time following SU hoops. Rest in peace.

Damn it
