Salute to LA, health is more important and he’s made his money so he had to do it. I had an irregular heart beat and had to have a cardioversion to fix it. It’s a somewhat intimidating procedure and you’re twice as likely to have an irregular heartbeat again even after fixing it.

For anyone saying he shouldn’t have retired - when your heart beat is irregular, you’re more likely to form blood clots which can ultimately lead to having a stroke. Factor in the constant flying and high intensity performance, it’s too risky. I had my procedure in 2018 and I still have episodes if I’m not sleeping enough, anxious or drinking too much.
I’ve had like 2 dozen cardioversions and 4 ablations. You feel like you’re dying every episode shyt ain’t fun. Hard to believe he played an nba game in an episode I can barely stand up without getting dizzy when I’m in arrhythmia

It’s one of the worst feelings ever. The first time it ever happened me, I thought I was having a heart attack. It goes to show how elite of an athlete LMA is because for him to be to able to train, fly and play his whole career with it, you know he had days where he felt like he was on the verge of passing out and couldn’t get out of bed.

This, that's some superhuman (and crazy shyt) he did in that game.
