Wtf
Holy fuck
That’s insane. Prayers up
Holy shit thats terrifying. Glad he seems ok
Ummm….WHAT?!?
Damn that’s scary. Wishing him well
Poor fucking kid. Hope he gets better soon
That’s scary AF. Prayers out to his family, friends, and teammates.
Holy shit. Got scared for a second there.
Glad he’s in stable condition now.
Fucking hell, glad he’s okay from what it sounds. Hope the family’s doing alright cause I can’t even imagine how horrifying that is.
holy shit, glad he’s alright but wtf
This is wild. His career may be over before it started. Feels bad man
Bro that’s scary af. How does this even happen to a kid his age?!
Very grateful he seems okay, that has to be so terrifying for the whole family.
Man…. So scary
Both Shaq and LeBrons sons with heart issues that young
Damn, hope the kid doesn’t have some underlying health issue.
Fml glad he’s ok at least
Scary as shit. Man I hope this isn’t another Reggie Lewis situation and just a freak incident.
That’s crazy, he’s so young, glad the staff and hospital were able to keep him with us
That would make me terrified to get back on the court again.
Prayers to Bronny and the James family. Absolutely fucking terrible man
Full statement:
> “Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest. Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU. We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information. LeBron and Savannah wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes.”
Glad he’s in stable condition.
Even with high level athletes, there is always the possiblity someone could have an underlying medical condition that simply doesn’t show itself…Until it suddenly does.
man, if you don’t have health, you don’t have shit.
WTF. That’s a headline I never thought of reading. Hope all is well for Bronny and the James fam.
So sorry to hear this. For this to happen to an otherwise healthy kid may indicate a congenital heart condition. If that is the case it may be a blessing that they discovered it now. Pete Maravich played his entire NBA career with an undiagnosed heart condition and then dropped dead playing a pick up game at age 40. Better to live a long and healthy life even if it means giving up a basketball career.
Since everyone here seems to be confused, cardiac arrest is not the same as heart attack.
Cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops beating. It can be due to a variety of reasons like preexisting heart defect, physical trauma or drug overdose (all of them causing the electrical systems that govern hearbeats to get messed up).
A heart attack is when the blood flow to the heart is blocked, usually due to a clot or plaque in the arteries. It is a circulation problem, not electrical.
Damn……
Happened to my HS teammate during summer practice at college before his freshman year. He unfortunately didn’t make it….That was around 20 years ago. Gets me every time I see something like this happen
All gyms/courts should have defibrillators on site. It happens much more than you realize
