NBA players mourn the loss of actor Robin Williams

A shocking news rocked the nation on Monday when it was announced that iconic actor Robin Williams was tragically found dead in his home at the age of 63.

Reportedly battling severe depression, Williams sadly appears to have taken his own life.

Most of our generation grew up watching and enjoying the countless number of classic movies Williams has starred in, including Hook, Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, Good Will Hunting and so many more.

Williams’ ability to make us laugh and cry through his magical work will truly be missed. May he rest in peace.

NBA Players React:

Rest In Peace Mr Robin Williams.
