Rachel Nichols Breaks News Of Lenny Cooke's Death. (He Is Not Dead.)

Poor Lenny Cooke. The high-school-basketball-legend-turned-tragic-washout got a shout out on TNT's NBA broadcast last night when Rachel Nichols mentioned that Joakim Noah recently helped produce a documentary about Cooke's too-much-too-soon cautionary tale. Unfortunately for Cooke, Nichols teased the documentary as one that was about his tragic death.

Nichols did come back on the air later to clarify that Cooke was not dead, which was nice of her. That's when Reggie Miller, being Reggie Miller, had to go and make a fuck up of his own by calling Lenny Cooke "Lenny Clark." Reggie Miller sucks.

If you're actually interested in learning about Lenny Cooke, check out the trailer for the documentary. It will probably make you very sad, though.
