Yeah, I wonder.Terrible for him and his family, colleagues, players, friends, etc. What kind of medical procedure lead to him dying I wonder? I was expecting to read he lost a battle with cancer. This sounds like it was out of the blue and completely unexpected.
oh, that's the guy I remember. I didn't realize the name difference.So sad. Younger brother of Sharif Abdur-Rahim. Those guys grew up here and were legends going back to their high school days. I had just moved to Atlanta when Sharif was getting tons of hype in the local media the back half of his high school years. Amir was a few years younger and a great player in his own right. RIP.
Correct. There is absolutely no such thing as routine surgery when anethesia is involved. I am always suspect of a screw up though when the person is young and otherwise healthy. I had a friend die a couple years ago during "routine" shoulder surgery. He had a complete clean bill of health going in.When you die during surgery, it's seldom for the cause of the surgery itself, and esp at that age. It's very often related to anesthesia and involving heart, lungs or both. Something unexpected took him.
Being so young, if he had "Y" to Donor? field of his driver's license then not so "unexpected".When you die during surgery, it's seldom for the cause of the surgery itself, and esp at that age. It's very often related to anesthesia and involving heart, lungs or both. Something unexpected took him.

Having sold in surgry for over 30 years I hve seen the occasional screw up and heard of many more. Thankfully they are relatively rare but they do happen.
Yeah. I’ve actually had some very frustrating knee issues over the last several years, but I’ve attacked PT like an SOB. I’m not going under the knife. I just don’t trust the system.Correct.
