Frank Mason III asked how he would want to die at NBA combine interview

Many of the questions that NBA draft prospects have received from teams at their combine interviews over the years have bordered on the bizarre. But one that Frank Mason III got in his interview was downright morbid.

The former Kansas Jayhawks star spoke to ESPN’s Jeff Goodman at the combine and revealed that one NBA team asked him during his interview how he would like to die, per Chris Lilly of WIBW-TV.

Combine interviews: pushing the limits of good taste since the dawn of time.

It’s a credit to Mason, who is a projected second-rounder, for dealing with the question as calmly and professionally as he possibly could have. But it’s also a testament to how these combine questions, for all the laughs they can result in, sometimes cross the line while attempting to get reads on these kids.
