He was a mainstay on those '93-'95 teams. He and Oak provided the toughness.
age 48 - way too soon.

RIP Mase. Kid from Queens who went on to an excellent career in the NBA. Wish the Knicks had anyone like him today.

I met Mase with my brother at the All-Star Cafe about 20 years ago (strangely enough Shawn Michaels was there eating lunch that day too). Mason was very nice to us but the thing that always stands out was the tag on his shirt reading "XXXXL" RIP to a great Knick

Patrick Ewing: "My heart is heavy after learning that we lost Anthony Mason last night. We were teammates on the Knicks for 5 great seasons"

>> RT @FisolaNYDN Now this is a starting 5. "We were either gonna win the game or win the fight" RIP Anthony Mason

Loved Mase

He was probably my favorite among those Knick teams. He played fearless basketball.
Loved his playoff

Buzz Cuts...Always had stuck out his tongue when he made a foul shot. R.I.P.
Yup, that pic is great. It shows the last true Knick team that had

I met him numerous times and he was a cool guy. My stepfather worked at the insurance office Mase went to.
Good Lord 48

I guy I thought was indestructible. RIP Anthony Mason. Great Knick on some very good teams.
RIP Mase

You will always be a true Knick and true son of Queens. This is how you look when you put in a full night's work.

One of my favorite memories of him  
Mason : 2/28/2015 2:05 pm : link
was on the night he was getting a humanitarian award against the Sixers during halftime. He and Manute Bol (a former winner) nearly came to blows at center court and Marv joking said two humanitarians about to go at it. When the NBA was physical and a delight. Wow hard to believe both are gone already.

I don't want to over-romanticize the 1990s Knicks today. But I never learned more about heart and perseverance than I learned from that team

The first sports jersey I owned was an Anthony Mason knicks blue.

Met him once at a St. Louis airport bar many years ago. Both our flights were delayed. Very nice guy to chat with a bit.
Rest in peace Mase
