The infamous former basketball player, a Philadelphia prep phenom who washed out with three NBA teams, including the Timberwolves, was killed last week in a car accident in Texas, when his SUV struck a train. It took over a week to identify the former center's body.
If you're a ready of my blog, you probably know Griffin for a certain arrest in Minneapolis last year, which certainly is a lot less funny now that Griffin's actually died in a subsequent crash. I also feel sorry for Eddie Griffin, the comedian- no stranger to car accidents himself- who has to call everyone he knows today and tell them he's not dead.
