Current and retired NBA players have Tweeted their respects to King of Pop Michael Jackson, who died earlier today. Michael Jackson’s reputation may have taken a hit in recent years because of some nasty accusations and strange antics, but his stature in music and popular culture can’t be understated.
Forget the eccentricity, folks. Judging from the reactions of NBA players, Michael Jackson was a man they truly admired:
Lamar Odom:
My thoughts and prayers go out to Michael Jackson and his family. He is a legend. King of Pop.
Baron Davis:

Allan Houston:

Andre Iguodala:

Rick Fox:
Sad day: Michael Jackson/Farah Fawcett/Ed McMahon all died– I may have 3 rings but sometimes things in 3’s can suck R.I.P.Sending a prayer the way of the Jackson Family…may the love and support for Michael spread to them over these very difficult times
Dennis Rodman:
Mourning the loss of the greatest pop star and icon of my lifetime. Michael Jackson was truly the best. I wish his family well.
Charlie Villanueva:

Dwight Howard:

Looks like Dwight Howard had it bad but I can’t blame him. I was weaned on Michael Jackson’s music and loved Moonwalker on the Sega Genesis. The NBA players’ reactions show that regardless of one’s standing in life, the news of Michael Jackson’s passing is felt.
How does this news affect you?
