NBA Star Bison Dele Met A Sad Fate The People Are Still Struggling To Understand
An NBA star who played alongside legends such as Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman, Bison Dele was once set to become a household name. Then, without warning, he walked away from a lucrative career, hoping to find meaning traveling the world. But instead, he met a grim fate somewhere off the paradise island of Tahiti — a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

To the casual observer, June 13, 1997, should have been the best day in Dele’s life. At their home stadium, the Chicago Bulls had beaten the Utah Jazz to be named champions of the NBA — and the crowd was going wild. As their forward-center, the young man took his place on the winners’ podium as confetti rained down on the players’ heads.
Far from jubilant
Later, point guard Steve Kerr would confirm that Dele had played a vital role in the championship — and that the Bulls couldn’t have won without him. But the tall, handsome player looked far from jubilant as his teammates celebrated with abandon. And just a few years later, he would abandon basketball for good.
Early years
Born Brian Williams in Fresno, California, in 1969 Dele was the youngest of two sons. When he was still an infant, his father Eugene was recruited into The Platters, a successful rock and roll band. And at first, his childhood was spent roaming from place to place with his parents and older brother Kevin.
Doomed relationships
According to reports, these early forays into travel were far from adventurous: they mostly involved holing up in hotel rooms around the world. Eventually, the Williams’ marriage fell apart, and Dele’s mom Patricia took her sons back to Fresno for a fresh start. There, she remarried, although this new relationship was also not fated to last.
