He passed away- the mentioned it on the postgame last night. He was "escalade" on the and1 tour. Sad news, couldn't have been very old.

Not that it matters but I think they were full brothers.

Man I balled with his brother in O'Connell Park in Queens. I lived on 201st Street and between Murdock and Hollis Ave. I'm a year younger than Mark Jackson. It's strange to think of losing someone that young.

I know it may sound morbid to ask, but does anyone know the CoD? He was too young (35?) to die "in his sleep". Just curious, if anyone knows. I assume it was probably some sort of cardiac arrest, since he was as big as an "Escalade".

Former popular streetball player Jackson found dead in Los Angeles hotel room

By The Associated Press (CP) – 3 hours ago

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Former popular streetball player and Louisville reserve Troy Jackson was found dead in a Los Angeles hotel room on Sunday morning. He was 35.

Fred Corral with the Los Angeles County Coroner's office says Jackson was found unresponsive shortly before noon. An autopsy is pending.

Jackson, the younger brother of former Toronto Raptor Mark Jackson, spent two seasons at Louisville as under coach Denny Crum.

He battled weight problems his entire career. He became a popular fixture on the streetball circuit, where he carried the nickname "Escalade" because of his size.

He was listed at six-foot-10 inches and 375 pounds while being a part of the And1 Mixtape tour in 2002.
