Yet I wouldn't be doing my job justice if I didn't report that Derrick Coleman, 41 come June 21, is in urgent need of a heart transplant. Details are scarce, but the few collected are scary. Toward the end of Coleman's 10-year NBA career, he was diagnosed as suffering from arrhythmia. The disorder was treated with medication and it stopped his heart from skipping a beat and alleviated his shortness of breath, etc. For whatever reason, Coleman's condition severely worsened lately, hospitalizing one of the toughest hombres in league history. Only a couple of his closest friends - Charles Oakley and Ricky Mahorn - have been able to see him.</div>
There's a tasteless joke in thread topic somewhere, but now is not the time to make it. Hopefully everything turns out well and he's able to recover.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Coleman told ESPN's Stephen A.

Now he can go back to demoralizing the contestants on Pro vs Joes.
