Whenever I think of Amir Abdur-Rahim I immediately think back to this answer from him after Kennesaw State suffered a heartbreaking loss to Xavier in the first round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Would encourage you to watch this. College basketball lost a really good one today.

The CBB world suffered a major loss today, but even more importantly the world lost a leader and genuinely great human being. I was so happy for him in everything he was able to accomplish with Kennesaw and South Florida. Just doesn’t feel real, rest in peace Coach. 💔

Very well said.

profound and heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing. Rest in Peace to a special human being.

Will never forget this answer. It's especially poignant today in college hoops where we sort of take for granted the relationship aspect of the business given NIL and other changes.

Pure class

1,000%.
