Fan’s reaction to Adreian Payne’s death

Tuck Cowin said,

Shocking. That particular area in East is among the safest in Orlando/Orange County. I’ve heard crime got worse after the Demings (OC Sheriff/Chief OPD) resigned to each run for public office.

Kevin Sarge said,

Once you realize most murder victims know the person that killed them it takes the steam out of your awful logic.

Corbin23 said,

Damn this hurts. He was the first college player I became a fan of and the primary reason I became an MSU fan.

MandoDoughMan said,

Oh, that’s awful. I usually don’t remember non-Purdue players but I immediately remembered him befriending that young girl with cancer. He seemed like an amazing person.

Smallz86 said,

This is such sad news. I was a student during his time and had the privilege to witness his relationship with Lacy. The night at the rock on the day she died when Izzo and the team came and spoke with the mass of students will always be with me. He was such a great player and by all accounts a great person. RIP

GreenStoneRidge said,

Damn. Adreian had such a positive impact on the MSU ball program and the East Lansing community as a whole during his time there. During the 2014 season, he was an absolute force on the court. I have always been surprised he didn’t make it in the NBA. Rest easy Adreian.
