By Drew Franklin | May 31, 2013 | 8:32pm |

Former NBA guard Mookie Blaylock is on life support following a car accident late Friday afternoon. Blaylock’s Cadillac Escalade crossed the median and struck another vehicle, injuring two others, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Blaylock is the father of Zack and Daron Blaylock, two safeties on the UK football team. Keep the family in your thoughts and prayers this evening.

    Multiple tornados on the ground now in Oklahoma City downtown area. State police have closed roads but the interstate is jammed and cars are being blown off the road.

    Drew, where’s our boy Matt?

    Prayers and love go out to Mookie and family. Been a tough couple days. A friend and co-worker was killed by a drunk driver yesterday. Don’t know what I do without God and Jesus Christ in my life. May The Lord bless you, keep you, shine His light upon you, and be gracious to you Mookie and family.

    Report says drugs and alcohol was not suspected as a cause. So to all of you who want to accuse someone of something before the facts come in, get a life. Someone lost their life in the accident and all thoughts and prayers should also go out to that family.
