there could be only one (in memory of Steve McElvene) #RIPBigSteve

there could only be one

in memory of Steve McElvene

goodbye to the
gentle big man

goodbye to the
smile that lighted
up an entire city

goodbye to the
ferocious dunks
and emphatic
blocked shots

goodbye to the
students chanting
your name

goodbye to 
dancing with
your teammates

goodbye to the
laughter heard
around the world

they say only the
good die young
and the special
ones live forever

rest in peace
big man

and know
you will be
an inspiration
for generations
to come
