Lorenzen Wright was not a superstar, but he was real solid player who never backed down on anyone. He was a tough but emotional player, and a great teammate. His 13 years in the NBA is proof of that. He played his hearts out in each and every game he played for the Clippers, Grizzlies, Kings, Hawks and Cavaliers.
Last week, July 19, 2010
, Lorenzen was taken away tragically. That moment when he was shot several times, the NBA lost a good player, the world lost a good person, and his 6 children lost a good father.
I cried when I heard the news because I thought of his 6 kids. He was close to all of them, most especially his 13-year old daughter who talks with her father everyday. Now she can only talk to him by her lonesome.
May he rest in peace, and may justice be served for Lorenzen. He's now reunited with his daughter, Sierra Simone Wright, who passed away in 2003 due to SIDS.
"I cried. The emotions hit me immediately.
It's just sad because we lost a good person and a brother."
