Old Guy Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Prayers going out to Bronny James and the entire James family after he suffered a cardiac arrest at a workout at USC. Fortunately, he got immediate medical attention, is out of ICU and in stable condition. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sllim Pickens Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 That is scary. And the scariest part is what caused it. And crazy it happened at USC 6 months ago. Wonder if there is something in the building or that they are giving players that is causing it because this doesn't usually happen to in shape athletes without heart problems. The other thought is he may have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, which I have, that could limit or end his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot more and it's alarming. Edited July 25, 2023 by Old Guy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 In wondering how far college athletics are pushing these athletes and if that line is too far. Now more than ever there is pressure to perform and treat NCAA basketball like it's a profession with NIL and money on the line. I wonder if these kids at 16-18 years old working out and training like their bodies are 30 is causing problems. Either way, hope there are no long term effects and he is back on the court soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 There's a pretty clear explanation that I won't discuss. Prayers up for Bronny and his family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 This doesn’t typically just happen. Most likely there is some sort of pre existing condition that triggered this. Hopefully they can figure out what it is and treat it. I’d say theres a chance that his career could be over but I’d say the odds are better that he can make a full recovery and continue on the path.

I’d say theres a chance that his career could be over, but I’d say the odds are better that he can make a full recovery and continue on the path. It is possible it was a pre-existing condition but given who his father is, he's been checked out very thoroughly for any preexisting condition already. There is a clear explanation but like @NYRaider, I won't discuss it here. It's been happening an inordinate number of times over the past 18-24 months. That is all I'll say.

Thelonebillsfan Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Amazing to make a thread about a kid going into cardiac arrest purely because you're a bunch of terminally online brained dullards and wanna use someone nearly dying to ***** that you had to get a shot 2 ******* years ago now. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Before 2020 the leading cause of death for HS and college athletes was cardiac arrest. Hopefully for Bronny there isn't a serious condition that causes it and he can get back to hooping soon. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It apparently affects basketball players at a higher general % of young athletes than the other sports, as well. Here's hoping it's not a permanent condition or serious illness and was merely an incredibly bad, one off medical incident that's treatable. Kid's handled the spotlight being on him since he was 10 years old better than I think anybody could have reasonably assumed or asked of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
