The renowned basketball trainer Billy Knight was found dead in Phoenix on Sunday after posting an apparent video suicide note.
Billy who is 39-year-old posted a YouTube video early Sunday morning saying it was "probably my last message on Earth my time is up."
In the video, an emotional Knight talks about depression and apologizes to friends and family. He also advises people suffering from mental illness to seek help, so they don't end up like him.
Shortly after the video was posted, the Phoenix P.D. says officers found Knight's body in a roadway in downtown Phoenix.
Officers say, "No evidence of foul play was detected," but the body has been sent to the Medical Examiner to determine the cause of death.
After going undrafted in 2002, he played in the NBA's D-league for a bit before heading overseas.
The news of Knight's death has rocked the basketball community ... with ex-NBA star Matt Barnes saying, "Rest Easy My Brotha! Your summer time beach workouts had me in the best shape of my life to start every season!"
