    He was diagnosed last December, and his Dr's say he has a good chance of living a full life, but still sad to hear. This news should break sometime this morning

    This is truly sad news. I am happy to see that his prognosis is good.

    At least he has an intimate understanding of medical marijuana.

    This really caught me off guard and I feel terrible about KAJ being diagnosed with this. He said he will continue living his life the way he wants and will use his fame to be a spokes person against the disease the same way Magic was for HIV.

    Very sad news. Kareem sure has had some major pitfalls in his life, with his house burning down, and now this. He always seems to bounce back though.
