I’m obviously happy they’re able to diagnose it and find a solution but man there’s probably thousands of people who just go through life having this and just go out without even knowing. Man
Good to hear. The basketball aspect of this is just a sport and miniscule to his life. Hope this is behind him.
What I am curious about and hopefully there’s some cardiologist that can answer this for me. Is detecting defects something that requires extensive and invasive testing? Just wondering why these top tier athletes don’t get a full workup done to detect if any of these defects are present.
He’ll be fine. Athletes can still compete with a heart defect. One that comes to mind is Tedy Bruschi former NFL All Pro. Best of luck to Bronny!
All those vaccine nut cases would be really mad right now if they could read or knew what congenital ment..
In short it was a birth defect.
Awesome to hear
Is nba thing over for him?
His lack of talent is a bigger danger to his career.
