I just saw this on ESPN. Very sad.
52!! Way too young. Awfully sad.
Very sad. He was an outstanding guard for those Larry Bird Celtic teams. He made a big difference for them when he came to the Celtics. RIP DJ.
Reds Fan Since 1971
Larry Bird said previously that he was the best teammate that he ever had.
very sad shoulda got head coaching job in the nba but was passed over many times
He was lights out before the Celtic years with the Seattle Supersonics. Very sad.
Too young
Go Gators!
Is it just me, or have the Celtics had more than their share of players and ex-players dying before their time since about 1986?
This is a good article by Vecsey:

Key quote:
"At the end of the game, D.J. was money!" Bird declared.
"He used to tell me, 'I may be a horrible shooter (not exactly; 45 percent over a 14-year career and nearly 80 percent FT), and you may be a better shooter than me against Cleveland in February. But when it comes to games in May or June, I'll outshoot you every time.' "
