The "celebrity" aspect of this story didn't interest me. I never even heard of this NBA player before this. It was the ruthlessness of it. The poor woman, who it appears was a very decent, caring person, was simply trying to protect her 14-year old nephew from a group of punks. 2-1/2 weeks before Christmas they shoot her in the head and kill her. It's both sad and sickening.

Lloyd Free was a pretty good player for the Sixers, back in their hey day.

Johnson was a longtime companion of former NBA All-Star Lloyd "World" B. Free of the Philadelphia 76ers and other teams in the late 70s. His wife is remembered as a loving, generous person. Why do they call her a "companion" if she was Free's wife?

It's both sad and sickening.Aww, come on. It could have been worse.
It could have been a "hate crime".

I thought New York B. Free of guns. How could this possibly happen?
Oops. It was her niece’s boyfriend. Not her nephew.

I do hope they catch the punks and leave them in some dark hellhole for the rest of their lives.

Lloyd Free was a 6th Man guard on the Sixers team that featured Doctor J, Doug Collins, George McGinnis, and Billy Cunningham. Actually there was a group of young players that came of the bench as a unit to shake things up. The baby-Sixers included Free, Darryl Dawkins & Kobe Bryant’s Dad — Joe “Jellybean” Bryant.
Free left for the Denver Nuggets. I think it was there that he christened himself “World B” Free. He averaged something like 30 ppg in the high-flying Denver Nuggets offense for a few years.
