RIP Michael Clarke Duncan

I know this may be an odd post for this thread, but somehow I personally find it appropriate.

Actor Michael Clarke Duncan died today at age 54. He was the inspiration for my character 8Baller, a big guy with a big heart....and unmatched voice.

Obviously the timing couldn't be more ironic with my character's "life" now counting down.

I'm sure it's stupid, but hearing this news gave me a really strange...unexplainable feeling. In any case. We truly lost a big man today that will always be a hero in my book.

8baller...your post and sentiments are not stupid. Thank you for sharing a very personal story....I'll bet there are many other players with similar connections.

Michael Clarke Duncan was always going to be a superhero. I loved him in Green Mile. I will miss him, although he leaves a fantastic heroic legacy. Nobody else is so hulking and so kind.

I still love that he was at Disco Demolition Night and even admitted to stealing a bat from the dugout.
