UCLA's Kyle Anderson Working to Save Lives

Last year Kyle Anderson lost a very close friend to apparent suicide. Now he is working to help prevent more young people from doing the same.

We always knew Kyle Anderson was a leader. He helped pull together a great group of talent for our Bruins and held them together on the court. Last year, however, Kyle lost a very close friend, 20 year old Paul Kim, to apparent suicide. From the Asbury Park Press:

"Kyle was on cloud nine; he was two lockers down from Tim Duncan and on top of the world, and all of a sudden he gets this news," said Anderson's brother, Jamar Wilkins.
