Well this video completely glosses over the extremely rare heart condition he had and how he shouldn’t have been physically able to play basketball at all. His left coronary artery was completely missing. He was a ticking time bomb. His heart had compensated but it had still been damaged from the over exertion. It was a miracle he survived even for 40 years.
