Wow I really hope this is not the case. Sam Perkins was one of my all time favorite Sonics. I loved his three balls with his eyes barely open. He was really slow as he got older but he was a master at creating just enough space to get his shot off.

If this happens to be true, this is horrible. My heart goes out to his family.

Man I can't believe it.

What's even worse is that there is no local NBA team to pay tribute to him as a player and a person.

Was Sleepy Sam Perkins a big stoner? He was a little bit before my time ...

THANK GOD.. an update on to the story says Sam was NOT on the plane, still sucks for the other 68 people, but hey... at least Big Smoooth is still alive.

Oh my god. Reading yearsago's post actually gave me a sharp pain in my stomach. I loved Big Smooth. Glad to hear he wasn't involved. Terrible news for everyone and their families involved in the crash.

It is not my job to educate people about why one human's life may or may not be worth more than another person's. I agree it may have been a clumsy statement, but...?
