Yea yea I'm a hater blah blah.:camby:
They hate blacks and worship whites :laff:

No different than the rest of the world, if we're just going to cast a non-factual blanket accusations over entire nations.

Damn I had to fight back tears. :wow:

Especially since I've been suspected of having Marfan's too. :wow:

Little known fact, Abraham Lincoln is believed to have had Marfan's syndrome due to his features.

I was hoping that the would have let him actually get drafted by his favorite team, so he can retire immediately. That team in turn would get a second 2nd pick in the 2015 draft, or they should have did something similar.

"I had a dream that my name was going to be called," Austin told ESPN. But after a standard physical, test results revealed he had Marfan syndrome. "They said I wouldn't be able to play basketball no more, at a competitive level. ... They told me my arteries and my heart are enlarged, and that if I overwork myself or push myself, my heart could rupture."

Marfan syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation that leaves connective tissue in the body weak, according to the National Institutes of Health. The defective gene can also cause excessive growth of longer bones in the body, although it's not clear why this happens.

Also -

Nearly 30 years ago, American volleyball player Flo Hyman was playing in a Japanese league. After being taken out of a game for a routine substitution, Sports Illustrated reported in 1986, she sat on the bench, slid to the floor and died. Her diagnosis of Marfan syndrome was made only after her family requested an autopsy.

Some posters on this site are such a reflection of society :snoop: They let the young breh have a great moment in his life he'll treasure forever, there's no hidden agenda to find so put away your telescopes cause some of y'all are reaching to outer space with this.

Not gonna get into motives or altruism or any of that; just glad the kid got his chance in the NBA spotlight for a minute. He'll never forget it.
