One of the best bench players I ever saw circa early 90s.

Was part of those Blazers teams that made me fall in love with the NBA.

Fun times.

Good player , he had a nice career. Seems pretty young to be dying , was there an issue with his health?

Horrible year!
RIP

Know he had a stroke a few years ago.. also had tumors removed so maybe cancer issues also?

RIP to him

Stroke in 17
tumor removal in 18.
Cancer surgery in 19.

I suspect that cancer was growing the entire time.

I'm no doctor, but I'm going to say yes.

Never liked him. On the 2020 scale of tragedies this one falls somewhere below wondering how cute the chick at the coffee shop is without her mask.

He always played hard and I have wonderful memories of him. Seriously underrated player on underrated teams. He was a big man that could move and shoot. In today’s game he’s a much bigger deal. FWIW

He’d been perfect for this era.

Man once you hit the other side of 40 those numbers start to move up quickly...fellas take care of yourselves you only get one go at this thing!!

Wasn't a fan of them but those early 90s Blazers teams were real solid. Just saw that Kevin Duckworth and Jerome Kersey are dead too.

Whenever I see the name Cliff Robinson, If I remember him correctly, I think must be in my top 10 of guys I would not like to go up for a rebound against.

And what is it with these Portland Trailblazers dying early.

He’d been perfect for this era.

No doubt. When I was in 7th grade he dropped a 50 spot and was all over the court: bank shots, 3s, mid-range. 6'10" dude ahead of his time.
