Hemorrhage is basically a stroke
Story says he got immediate help, which is good.
He'll have a lengthy recovery, likely some loss of function, but he should live.
Men, watch you health. No joke, keep the body active, cholesterol down and don't be afraid to ask for help if feeling ill

He is a good dude in person
Maybe he wasn’t the best with the NBA but I know he did have a passion for it

Minor surgery.
Must have a regular-sized or larger brain to be determined serious.

He was only the commissioner of one sport.
And no, he was not the greatest commissioner.

Wow, he got sick and went quick. When I first heard of his illness, I thought he wouldn't make it. Sad. He was one of the smartest commissioners in any professional sports. He was ahead of his time. RIP.

Was as responsible for saving the NBA as much as Bird and Magic. Every player and coach owes him a debt of gratitude.

He had vision. The rest of the commissioners are wearing bifocals.

Don't act like he didn't manufacture game 7s and fake stars to gain monetary value in China at the expense of screwing over better teams. What no one mentions is that almost all of that monetary growth was from China where they don't know how to watch basketball and just see a ballhog drop 40 points and lose miserably when it counts

After being against it, he actually changed course and spoke in favor of legalize sports betting in the U.S.

Too short for sure
We should allow live an average of 500yrs (aging accordingly of course)
Can you imagine being 150 years old and just getting started in life
