I heard that he had some demons he was battling, but I always rooted for him. Once a Knick...

Mike Sweetney, former top Knicks draft pick, dead at 43

Mike Sweetney, a Georgetown star whom the Knicks selected with the No. 9 pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, died at 43 years old.

The news was announced by his wife, India, in a Facebook post Thursday.

“With the heaviest hearts, we are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Michael,” India wrote. “To know Mike Sweetney was love to him. No one loved him more and he loved no one more than his family. His children were the light of his life, and he lived every day to give them the best life possible. He’s been my best friend for 30 years and my husband for almost 20. I’m not sure what we or I will do without him.”

That was the era of the thick 5 or 4. The guy had the skills no doubt. Regardless of his stature as Knick first round pick its damn sad when a family man beloved passes so young.
