Robert "Tractor" Traylor was found dead in his Puerto Rico apartment on Wednesday, according to several Puerto Rican newspapers. Traylor reportedly suffered a massive heart attack.

Traylor, who attended the University of Michigan, was 34.

Traylor lived in Puerto Rico and had a brief stint with a professional team called El refuerzo de los Vaqueros.

Traylor was the sixth overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft by the Mavericks, but he was part of a trade to the Bucks for Dirk Nowitzki.

Damn, way too early.

My US teacher (the one always talking about sports who is teaching the Sport History class next year) was talking about him yesterday.

RIP

I just saw this, and it just got me down. Especially at just 34. Sad to see, especially being a Michigan man.

Damn... he always had weight issues but had good game. If he had been around 240lbs he wouldn't have struggling keeping a contract in the NBA. He was good regardless though. He had a lot of gambling and legal problems, hopefully none of that had anything to do with it and it was just a heart attack. Never less the less, RIP Tractor.
