RIP Escalade

Yesterday Mark Jackson's brother Troy "Escalade" Jackson passed away in his sleep. Although he weighed close to 500 pounds (hence the nickname) he still made a career out of playing basketball, first for Louisville and then as part of the And1 mixtape tour. I would catch the And1 show on ESPN every once in a while and he seemed like a genuinely good dude who was really good at behind the back passes and could actually move a little even at his size. RIP ESCALADE.
