Important reply below this: "You need to make it more clear from your reporting that von Schwarz is not Bronny’s treating physician. Because he’s affiliated with the same medical facility to which Bronny was taken, it’s easy to be confused that von Schwarz is reporting a diagnosis of Bronny."
On the one hand, he's got a very easy path to pursuing his basketball career. Between name recognition and the #1 scorer in NBA history wanting to play with him, doors will always be open. On the other hand, with the kind of scrutiny that goes with the measuring stick he's always had to live up to, you don't keep pushing to excel if your mentality is to quit after a setback, no matter how big or small.
Good to hear; A family spokesperson said the heart defect can be treated and they are "very confident in Bronny’s full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future." A statement issued Friday by Stephanie Rosa of the LeBron James Family Foundation said the probable cause of James' sudden cardiac arrest has been identified. “It is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated,” the statement said. “We are very confident in Bronny’s full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future.”
Crazy to think of how many people could have issues like this and be off hiking or some location where there is no defibulator/medical care immediately available. Exceptionally healthy teenager's could be dead in minutes. Very glad they identified and will treat this. Makes me wonder what kind of tests we should do for ourselves and our kids though.
I agree with Enes here. Something is causing a massive uptick in these kinds of events. There are endless montages of actual in game footage of college/highschool and European athletes keeling over, along with news anchors and all the rest. We need to start asking why is this happening now when it never happened at anything like this rate in the past? It happened in the past for sure, but the rate of it is massive and recent. It's odd to me people who seem to not want to ask these questions. A girl right down the street from me, who was a top tier athlete and perfect health ended up with heart issues and clots in her lungs in 2022. She was a premier high school athlete. The rate at which this is happening and excess mortality among young people is very concerning and we ought to go in without any preconceived notions and see what's happening, because whatever it is, it's something very new and recent. My son is an athlete and I worry for him if its something we are missing.
I've seen nothing to indicate there's a massive uptick. I've heard of stuff like this happening since I was a kid. The one thing that's changed is we have social media now so whenever it happens to anyone we hear about it, and we also have some groups of people that are emphasizing every time it happens for one of several reasons. Statistically, though, I haven't seen anything supporting the idea that things like this have suddenly jumped in frequency. I remember Hank Gathers dying in a game. Hulking, healthy young man who played ball for years and was in a program where cardio training was maybe the best of any team in the country. I remember Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman dying of an undiagnosed heart defect in the 80s or 90s. This isn't anything new.
Then you are not paying attention. I know of multiple boarded and licensed physicians who agree. It is less prevalent here it seems than say Ohio where my friends live. It is certainly vastly higher in Europe than here which again, is a head scratcher. People can come to their own conclusions on the why. What is not up for debate is it is happening at a rate never seen before, much like all-cause mortality for young people (see comment directly below this for a link).
Yep, but lots of young people are collapsing as I said including people I know and medical doctors have confirmed a massive uptick in their caseloads around cardiac conditions in all ages, in all states of relative health. You guys can say whatever you want and ignore it if you wish, but that's not going to stop it from continuing to happen and perhaps even increasing. Here's a link to all-cause mortality sky rocketing and Covid-19 is not the reason. https://www.thecentersquare.com/ind...cle_71473b12-6b1e-11ec-8641-5b2c06725e2c.html Again you guys believe what you want, but saying it's not happening won't make it go away. I'm also not attributing it to anything, I leave that to you to ask what has changed in the past 2 years that might account for this and would cause young healthy people to collapse, and or die, and have heart conditions. Bronny can be excluded but I was responding to what Enes Kanter said.
I have been paying attention. If you can show me some kind of actual statistics instead of exactly what I said before, it is up for debate. What you're posting is anecdotal. Again, this stuff has been happening since sports began. Since before sports began.
Didn't you hear him? He knows doctors! But yeah, if it's not up for debate, show us hard stats, Idog.
If you want to believe that go ahead. I posted link to increased death rates by Life Insurance actuaries. You can't make people see what they don't want to see. The information is all out there, it doesn't take much to look into things, some want to and some don't want to and that is their right.
