Poor guy

Was the "shot taker......the one shot he didn't take" pun really necessary, twice?!?! Does the same single highlight have to be replayed 7 times, you couldn't find any other footage of Tony??!? Your news channel sucks.

Even though I played against him. I was one of those people who went and watched Tony play. I remember him stealing the ball running full court and as he went to dunk the ball he put on a show and all of these flash bulbs lit up Callihan Hall. Best Catholic League Finals ever.

Before or after vaccine

There is no guarantee that the shot 💉 would have made a difference, when our # is called then our time is up. Not everyone is dieing from covid. But condolences to his family and friends!! 💚💙

“A lot of our friends aren’t vaccinated...” but THIS story is covered b/c ended bad. I’m sorry for their loss. Now let’s talk about all their OTHER friends. 🤔 🤨

the shot don't work

[@mrmalcolm6988]

I’m glad I got the vaccine.

This is a very sad story and unless kind words to the family are being said then why are unnecessary comments about fake news being said if you don’t know and or aren’t in the family? Think about it would you want someone to assume things about your family member were fake news? Just Wondering

Fake

His doctor should have given him Ivermectin or hydroxychloriquine. This was nothing but a commercial for Big Pharma.
