Tobias Harris makes social media post honoring late Chadwick Boseman
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris makes a social media post dedicated to Chadwick Boseman.
The world suffered another major loss in 2020 when it was announced that movie superstar Chadwick Boseman passed away due to stage III colon cancer. It was a shock as it was not known that he was suffering from any illness and he was so young at just 43-years old.
Boseman played a lot of major roles in his career such as Jackie Robinson in the movie 42, Thurgood Marshall in the movie Marshall, and he played King T’Challa also known as the Black Panther in plenty of Marvel movies such as Black Panther, Captain America: Civil War, and plenty of Avengers movies.
The death hit Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris in a big way as he made a post on Instagram honoring Boseman and using a play on the phrase “Wakanda Forever” which was used by Boseman’s T’Challa character.
Boseman was a terrific actor, he was a great man, and he is gone way too soon. [lawrence-related id=37252,37276,37259]

‘Black Panther’ star Chadwick Boseman dies at 43 after battle with Cancer and fans everywhere collectively mourned
This is unreal.
Chadwick Boseman has left this world far too soon. The “Black Panther” star passed away at just 43 years old after a four year battle with colon cancer.
Boseman meant so much to so many. His work was so important. It meant so much — specifically for Black people in America. He constantly took on iconic roles playing prominent Black figures, some fictional and some not.
His most prominent role was in the 2018 Marvel film “Black Panther” as T’Challa, the king of Wakanda. Finally, we got a superhero movie with a majority Black cast and an African protagonist. It was also written and directed by a Black director in Ryan Coogler. And Boseman was the one at the center of it all.
It didn’t stop there, though. He also played Jackie Robinson in “42,” Thurgood Marshall in “Marshall” and James Brown in “Get on Up.” All historic and prominent Black icons. All roles Boseman took on — some while battling cancer. That’s just incredible strength from a man who undoubtedly became an icon in his own right.
His passing was announced via his Twitter account on Friday night.

Chadwick was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, per reports. During that time, he gave us Civil War, Marshall, Black Panther, Infinity War, Endgame, 21 Bridges and Da 5 Bloods. Lord only knows what he was going through on a daily basis.

Thinking about all the stuff Chadwick Boseman made and did after a devastating diagnosis and in the midst of what must have been absolutely grueling treatments. And all that with no one outside his circle catching on at all. Truly an amazing talent. What a cruel, cruel loss. RIP

As You Turn and Turn and Turn: Figure skating rivals Harding v. Kerrigan. But this showcases the backstory, which is coldly dark and weirdly, wildly comical, and features an Oscar-winning performance by Allison Janney as Harding’s mother.
