Really sad Troy was big time on the AND1 circuit. It's sad to see someone go so young.

Dave Snowden first met Mark Jackson's younger brother, Troy, when Dave and Mark were classmates at St. John's. Troy was 11 or 12 at the time.

They were waiting for Mark and his wife, Desiree. The foursome planned to go bowling. Suddenly, two cars filled with gang-bangers screeching out of nowhere, drove by and aimlessly opened fire.
