RIP David. Hope you get the job in the beyond. With no veto powers.

RIP, his vision for the NBA was impressive. Now they are trying to turn it into a dog and pony show.

Not shocking for a 77 yr old (and a male -- elderly men being the most afflicted group for ICH), but per a medical source:
Intracerebral hemorrhage, or ICH, is a devastating disease. The overall incidence of spontaneous ICH worldwide is 24.6 per 100,000 person-years with approximately 40,000 to 67,000 cases per year in the United States[1–3]. The 30-day mortality rate ranges from 35% to 52% with only 20% of survivors expected to have full functional recovery at 6 months.[3] Approximately half of this mortality occurs within the first 24 hours[4], highlighting the critical importance of early and effective treatment in the Emergency Department (ED).
Rough statistics. He had the event on Dec 12th. I was thinking the odds were slim he regained meaningful consciousness, but hopefully he did so his fam could give their finals.
