RIP Tyrone “Alimoe” Evans
We’re sad to announce that Tyrone “Alimoe” Evans passed away earlier today following complications from a stroke. The 6’7″ player was known for his trademark ball handling skills despite his immense size.
In an interview with Hoopsvibe in 2003, Evans said he wanted to be remembered as somebody that made somebody else get up and do better.
“They don’t have to let me know that I lit their fire; just go out and do it.,” said Evans. “They don’t have to thank me and bring me out to the game; just go do it. Just knowing that that little kid watching me took something home with them. See, basketball is a teacher of life. The lessons you learn in basketball – don’t be selfish, work hard, and treat everybody good – they’re the same lessons in life.”
