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.
