Indeed, sad stuff. I remember reading he was doing some coaching at small colleges but I guess his addiction caught up with him again.

This is sad. In another life I used to research urban development and I remember noting that Dean the Dream was on the board of a couple of Community Dev. Corps. My understanding is he was more than just a name on the board, he was actually doing good work. Addiction is serious sh*t. Good luck Dean.

crackhouse or not …. thoughts & prayers to the guy who was “The Dream” when Hakeem was a pup in Nigeria. Dean was an important member of the ’73 championship squad. Too bad his later life took wrong turns but he still gets my best wishes …

Hey he might have been the best #7 in Knick history … Sky Walker as the runner-up … God-speed Dream ..

very sad to hear this.

Perhaps Dolan should be doing more for players who were a part of their history instead of giving hated rivals jobs.

Fanhouse is reporting it was a crack house and that’s how the fire might have started. http://nba.fanhouse.com/2009/11/24/dean-meminger-critical-after-suspected-crack-pipe-fire/
