By Field Level Media Sep 18 (Field Level Media) - Former Georgetown standout and NBA first-round draft pick Michael Sweetney died this week at the age of 43. He passed away on Wednesday in New Jersey at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.
I got a chance to interview Michael Sweetney about three months ago. He was happy to take my call. Sweetney had been invited back by the Knicks to three games this season and it meant a lot to him after his playing career didn't pan out.
