I meant to write Hank Gathers...not Len Bias.

Goombah,

I respect the competitive nature of these guys but I think that they lose perspective when they risk their lives to play a game, long after they've achieved financial security. Alonzo Mourning is another one. He had life threatening kidney problem....and returned to the sport.

I hope both Aldridge and Bosh stay away and live long productive lives doing other things. If they love the game so much, get into coaching.
