What a gesture by the family. To take a tragedy and still turn it into a positive of sorts.
And good on Lonzo and the Bulls for honouring Alex and his family.
>Alex’s body wad able to help 20 other patients
This is huge, what a great decision by his family. RIP Alex.

Suicide is awful. I’m glad he was able to help others in his death. I hope his family and can heal and Alex is finally at peace. Peace and love, yall.
Awesome.
Pretty incredible moment when the lads covered this during the pregame. KC Johnson was legitimately moved almost to tears when he reported out on this. Bigger than basketball.
when is he coming back tho
That’s gotta be bittersweet for the family. For anyone struggling out there, know there’s help.
