Yea, really. This guy just found out about the disease (not sure if that is the right word for it). This might help him get over it a little quicker but he's got to be crushed.

Imagine someone telling you:

Hey, pal, in a few months I am going to pay you millions of dollars to do something that you absolutely love doing as your career. Then right before you go to sing your contract, they tell you, "Well, nevermind, you are not fit to do the job. But we will give you this nice plaque to show our appreciation."

Yes disease is the right word

Other than that, you're a complete jackass

Pretty terrible comparison. Neither him nor the NBA have a choice. He can't play anymore.

Def sucks, but if he didn't want to be part of it he wouldn't have gone. Will still cash out $1 mil from a policy he took out, I read. And supposedly, Scott Drew has already offered him a job at Baylor.

Kid will be fine, really does suck about his condition though.

That's quite the glass-half-empty perspective you've got there. He could have just declined the NBA's offer to do it, so I'd say he wanted the moment.
