Parsad Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/longform/bison-dele/?mobile=n I don't know what planet I was on, but I never heard this story before Wow! Never knew they were friends. I remember watching Williams with the Bulls. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin212 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have never heard this before either - just unbelievable! But then again it is Patrick Byrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraven Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks for the link. Very interesting. It always fascinates me to read about people like this. A similar story in some ways is Ricky Williams in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschembs Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I remember when he changed his name to Bison Dele, but didn't recall the details of him leaving the NBA to wander the world or his ultimate disappearance. The connection with Patrick Byrne is fascinating as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booth52 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Wow, such a tragic story. Thought the writing was really well done too; may have to read Chris Ballard's other books and articles some time. Pleasantly surprised and Sports Illustrated gave him the finances and time that it must have took to actually do that piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
