My prayers to the Tisdale family. Wayman, I will miss you but your music will be with us for ever. I'm sure God is enjoying you up close and personal.

Oh Man... tears rolling now! I miss that smile. I needed to hear that "never give up." Thank you Tis!

[@cleveburg100]

Somehow stumbled onto this video. Mr Tisdale, I am a fan of yours for life. God Bless.

[@MikeValMusic]

I didn't know much about Wayman until seeing him perform on a beautiful summer evening on the Chicago lakefront a few years back. He brought incredible energy to that stage, and had the entire audience feeling like we were all each other's friends. It was obvious that, in addition to being a wonderful musician, Wayman had a zest for life and just oozed sheer joy. A very special man indeed, one to be emulated for many reasons. May God bless his family. Heaven is one funky party tonight.

[@ThatCaliFoodie]

I can only strive to be as brave as Mr. Tisdale......R.l.P and may many blessings go out to his family. I've listen to his music for years, but I didn't know that he had passed on.....he was a true talent, thank you.

[@jazzsax1965]

Why does this have to happen to good people like this man truly was? Thank you for the great music we Jazz music fans will continue to enjoy. Rest in peace my brother, you will be missed.

[@djmattese]

Wayman, Thank you so much for making me realize how to live life, and how to treat others. You are the definition of class, hope, and love. God bless you brother.

[@tom56ism]

You can tell listening to Wayman he was a beautiful human being. F Cancer.

[@wvcc24hrs]

May he rest in peace.... Wayman is the TRUE definition of class personified!!!

[@KASH36]

May God bless Mrs. Tisdale and children. Viewing this gave me chills, just to see how a man can smile so BIG and have such an uplifted spirit during sickness. Life is precious and Heaven has gained a talented angel! RIP

[@SIGMAMAN69]

Wayman tisdale's passing really saddened me! He was a great ballplayer, a great musician and, more than that, a great human being! Our loss is Heaven's gain without a doubt!

[@cl3w]

Wayman Tisdale, a gentle giant. What a legacy to leave behind. You will be missed. Sweet Dreams Wayman.

[@knoll42]

Brother Tis my heart is heavy but memories are full joy. Tis on the court for the Kings and that special day at Moon Studio you were always full of joy.

[@Carlett246]

Many prayers for his wife and family. He touched many with his kindness, smile, and entertainment. He will be missed. He showed us how to BE. BTW class mate and Jazz Fan.

[@Nasute]

The flesh may be mournful, but the spirit is abiding in the glory of God. That smile will be bringing joy in heaven almost shining as bright as God's glory. See you when Jesus comes!

[@dolphin12play]

God bless the Tisdale Family.

[@brandonGCHACHU]

[@karenerickson450]

Last night I heard one of his songs on NPR. What beautiful music and what an inspirational man, gone way too soon.

[@jarrett4me]

Regina I am so in shock but I know in my heart he was a man after God's heart...Keeping my Tisdale family in prayer...Jennifer Love-Criner

[@brawlerinmd]

Great player, Great musician, Great person! He will be missed!

[@myronkelly67]

This man was a class gentleman that came played the game and was just real!!!

[@SuperDaveOkie]

After he spent about five minutes talking with me as an autograph seeker after an OU game, he took my team schedule and made sure the whole team autographed it. Five minutes with my hero and one of the greatest human souls I ever encountered changed my life. I miss you Wayman.

[@johnmanning4097]

I grew up in Enid Oklahoma and I watched him since he was a freshman at Oklahoma he was such an inspiration we all loved him I can't even finish watching this feature on him it breaks my heart

[@towahead]

[@MomOfTwoWithAutism]

It breaks my heart to watch this video now.

[@ViroValentza]

[@nexxt74]

I met him once here in town at a arts festival. It had not started yet and he was warming up alone. I was talking to someone asking when the show started and Wayman replied 7 sweetheart. A dear man. May he rest is peace!!!

[@sabanuka]

Sending A PRAYER For THE Tisdale FAMILY My Prayer are WITH YOU G.0.D Will BE THERE ALWAYz

[@mrintimateluva]

When I heard the news from my son while I was at work I was devastated & saddened. Me and the wife had just saw him performed 4/25/09 at the City of Lights Jazz Festival in Las Vegas. Im tearing as Im writing this, but he had us all on our feet when he did a medley of old school songs near the end of his performance. Words can't express how I fell but to Regina and your children keep the faith, and may God continue to bless you. I will miss you Wayman but your music will be with us for ever.

[@blackatchs06]

May God Bless your entire beautiful family. Gone way too soon brutha. We will always remember and love you, your music and especially your infectious smile:)

[@certs48]

I didn't know you Wayman, but did enjoy your music. I only hope that we can meet someday and kick it together. Prayers out to your family. RIP brother...

[@sangre77]

R.I.P. Champion. A great bass and basket player, even a greater man.

[@BLAQULA08]

dont worry Wayman...although your life was cut short..so many of us have lived because of you...thanks for the entertainment on the court and in the studio... you are simply an original Hero...thanks for the inspiration!!!!

[@WhatEverMan73]

Wow im tearing up watching this. God bless you Wayman and your family.

[@carlmanguitar]

Very inspirational man! This is a real hero.... in the most human terms! Godly man too!

[@HairbyNedjetti]

and THANK YOU for being such a GREAT inspiration, your tenacity and smile will always be remembered!!

[@Footprintz1]

Whoa! Thanks big time for posting this inspirational video. I'd heard and enjoyed his music. Didn't know he was a basketball player or such an awesome man. I 'm not struggling with cancer, but his encouragement and learning through this has strengthened and encouraged me to "Never give up , Quiting is not an option". Until that last breath, I'll keep fighting my fight to overcome my stuff. I pray continued blessings to the Tisdale family. Thank you Bruh. Thank God for your life and family.

[@jazman49]

Wayman was a force and a gentle spirit. As a professional NBA player and bass player his impact will be felt for many years to come. I am honored to have had the opportunity to meet him in my travels.

[@4eyed4stringer]

Bless your spirit in Heaven, Wayman. We miss you brother.

[@krazygeek]

My friend was diagnosed with cancer and said this video inspired her to continue to fight. She died after 10 rounds of chemo.

[@Mariodupree]

I love this dude and I will miss him dearly. Know that your music meant alot to me as a bassplayer and that you helped me find out who I was as a bassplayer. Rest in peace my brother.

[@Dillon1631]

Rest In Peace Wayman You Were An Amazing Man

[@m1keand1ke]

This is so sad. RIP Wayman go be with God.

[@VideoalAZ]

You made your statements in sports, in music, and most of all, in your strength of spirit. I will always remember the brief conversation we had at your home when I was videotaping your daughter's 8th grade graduation from SCA. Rest in Peace...

[@1kennygrind]

RIP Wayman, God has him a new bass player!

[@janjancapili]

R.I.P Wayman Tisdale... We will miss you...

[@costonkrecords]

Ive had the opportunity to have two conversations with Wayman, once at the Michael Jordan camp with Marcus Miller at UCSB and another time at a Marcus Miller concert at UCLA. Im a fellow bass player and he did not hold back his knowledge in discussing the instrument with me. He was a very down to earth person, just an all around great guy. He will be missed. My regards to the Tisdale family, friends and fans. (Revelation 21: 1- 5)

[@XblisterXexistX]

RIP brother !!!

[@furrycoat576]

An amazing person RIP

[@whykatera81]

wehen he start talking about his chemo i just broke out in tears... so sad

[@GeneralTrousers]

Wayman ... was a good guy. Ooooh man ... he was good. I saw him in concert with Doc Powell at a benefit concert for cancer ... he was healthy then. He stole the show ... nearly broke his bass. x

[@Anonymous86]

Unfortunately he lost the battle now. I feel so terrible. I grew up watching him play ball with the Suns, I also know he was on the Kings. I have some of his basketball cards. He was a solid player. I saw this segment on ESPN, and was truly touched. R.I.P. Wayman Tisdale.

[@systembust]

Rest in peace Brother.

[@IrisMG]

I couldn't believe it when he passed - I thought he was going to make it. I was recently diagnosed and was in the hospital with diabetes when I heard about his amputation; naturally this idea was scary for both of us. Thankfully for me, I no longer need insulin and am thus far maintaining control with pills.Hopefully this means that I won't eventually lose a leg. I desperately wish there could have been a pill to help Wayman. 4000 attended his funeral yesterday. It was broadcast online.

[@yvesabila43]

AMEN! see you in heaven brother...

[@Eschatonx]

R.I.P. My friend.

[@nonabliss]

I am so hurt to hear about Wayman Tisdale's death. I remember his early days in the NBA when he played for Indiana. I had a major crush on him back then. But then over the years, I'd lost touch with his NBA career. I had heard that he played music. It seemed to be a great love in his life. It is simply tragic for such a great man to leave this earth so soon. I send prayers to his family and friends.

[@NYMDgirl2u]

Here I am complaining about everything under the book, and this brother just taught me something today..."Quitting is not an option". RIP Wayman and jam in Heaven buddy!!! :-)

[@Chillin235]

rockin them fresh forces

[@jrod4u2c]

RIP Wayman...

[@SafeForYourHealth1]

When we buy cleaning products for our homes, we really only expect them to do one thing: clean. The truth behind the matter is that many of the general cleaning products you find in most households are toxic, if not potentially fatal.

[@carsonlampelampe7818]

R.I.P to Mr.Tisdale

[@dreh.d2351]

rest in peace big guy

[@peteypab16]

R.I.P WAYMAN TISDALE

[@sactiger]

Another great man gone far too soon. I guess God needed another bass player in His Holy Orchestra.... R.I.P., Mr. Wayman Tisdale!!

[@p200gmn]

Y do all the good guys die young? R.I.P. Wayman!!! A great man, musician and athlete. This man was and will be a great role model and our youth should look up to people like him and not other athletes who do nothing but give humanity and athletics a bad name..... R.I.P. Wayman! God Bless your family!
