Holy fuck. How could this happen?

There's no way he's not one of the fittest athletes and involved with crazy amount of trainers and doctors

Basketball players often have a higher risk of heart issues just due to their height and the heart having to work harder to pump blood. It seems like this happens to someone every year in college basketball but it’s not typically a massive celebrity’s son or a top recruit.
