JD Skeets

He always did stuff.

According to Daniel, he always did stuff out there.

It's just so sad that he was married last year.

I didn't realize that.

In 2025, he got married to Brunson Green.

So very, very sad, the whole thing.

Ziller noted in his newsletter this morning, Collins was maybe the best writer to ever appear in the NBA.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but I think Ziller's got a point here.

His coming out essay in SI, beautiful, poignant.

And then he had a piece on his fight against brain cancer.

Extremely powerful piece, too.

Go check those, seek those out if you can today, and the legacy he does leave.

Final note on him, just last week, Jason received the inaugural Bill Walton Global Champion Award at the Green Sports Alliance Summit.

He was too ill to attend, so Jaron, his twin brother, accepted it for him, and he told the crowd, I told my brother before I came here, he's the bravest, strongest man I've ever known.

So we're sending our best, our thoughts and condolences to Jason,

Jaron Collins and the Collins family and the entire NBA world.

We lost, obviously, some legends there yesterday.

Tough, tough day.

Shall we spin to basketball?

Yes, indeed.
