Heartbroken Baron Davis Mourns “Big Sis” Angie Stone After Sudden Passing in Tragic Car Crash

“I can’t eat, I can’t sleep anymore, waiting for love to walk through the door.” For those who grew up on Angie Stone’s music, her lyrics now carry an even deeper weight. Today, the world waits for her return, knowing full well that only her music remains. The world of music and basketball share a deep connection, and today, that bond is mourning a heartbreaking loss. The passing of the legendary soul singer Angie Stone has left an undeniable void—not just in the music industry but also in the hearts of NBA players who grew up to the sound of her powerful voice.

Her music was a soundtrack to many players’ lives, offering comfort, motivation, and even nostalgia. But as Angie Stone breathed her last in a tragic car accident in Montgomery, Alabama, early Saturday morning, her music has now become a sorrowful memory. Sources state that she was returning from a show with her band when her Sprinter van overturned. While her fellow passengers survived, Stone was the only one who lost her life. Just like that, a voice that had soothed millions was gone.

Best known for her 2001 hit “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” a song that transcended genres and generations, Angie Stone has touched the hearts of millions of people. And now, as tributes pour in, Baron Davis joined in to honor her. He took to Instagram, sharing a photo of Stone with “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” playing in the background. A fitting tribute, because truly, no one expected her last day to come like this.

Her magical voice was like an escape for many, including Baron Davis. To him, she was like a big sister. And when the heartbreaking news broke, Davis didn’t hold back his emotions. He shared a picture of Stone mid-performance. But it was his caption that truly hit home. He wrote, “Heartbroken Love you Big Sis.” But to be very honest, this message didn’t just come from him, it echoed what everyone was feeling. 

The pain in Davis’ words reflects a collective heartbreak. For years, Stone’s music resonated in locker rooms, on long flights, and through the headphones of countless NBA stars. And now, her sudden departure feels like losing a family member.

Her influence extended far beyond the court. NBA teams even used her songs in-game montages, and her voice was woven into highlight reels. Now, those same songs carry a different weight—one of remembrance, of loss, of gratitude for a legend who gave so much to the world.

Angie Stone: A legacy that will never fade

Stone’s impact stretched across decades, fusing hip-hop with soul in a way that made her music timeless. From “No More Rain (In This Cloud)” to “Brotha”, her songs didn’t just hit—they were healing. And that’s why her death feels personal to so many, even outside the music industry.

In the days to come, more tributes will flood in, more stories will surface, and more memories will be shared. But one thing is certain—her music will never fade. As Baron Davis and the rest of the NBA family mourn, they also celebrate the life of a woman whose voice was more than just sound—it was a feeling, a force, and now, a lasting legacy.

“I’m expected to do what’s right; I want to leave a legacy of positivity behind.” Angie Stone’s words and she surely leaves behind a legacy. Words fall short of prayers as the world of hip-hop and soul has lost a true legend. Stone, one of the most influential soul singers of her era, has passed away at 63.

And now, with her passing, tributes are pouring in from every corner of the entertainment world, including the NBA. Countless players grew up to the sound of her timeless hits, and now they’re showing their love. Among them is two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis, who took a moment to honor the late singer.

Though she’s gone, her music and legacy will live on. Rest in peace, Angie Stone. We will remember you.
