Does anyone know if this is true or another sick hoax? I just saw on twitter that former nba player Robert Traylor was found dead in his apartment this morning…
Traylor was drafted by Dallas but was traded to Milwaukee for the draft rights for Dirk Nowitzski,in 1 of the most controversial deals ever…Traylor struggled in the league, while Dirk became an all star….

A guy I knew once told me that he watched Taylor eat a bucket of fried chicken, drink nearly a case of beer, and then go out and dominate a summer league game (park summer league not the NBA summer league, but still high level). This guy (who played DI and in the CBA) said it was freaking amazing.

In a Puerto Rican newspaper is stated that Robert Traylor died of a massive heart attack.
It’s also on Hoopshype.com.

Very sad day in the NBA world. Only 34 years old wow. Yes it’s true he was found dead in his apartment in Puerto Rico of a massive heart attack.
He was there playing for Baloncesto Superior Nacional, he won Defensive Player of the Year last season as well.
