now that it's been properly diagnosed he can get the proper monitoring of his condition and care. the treatment options have come a long way and his life expectancy should approach 70, though it won't be without its significant challenges.

and i agree, i feel terrible for him, especially this close to the draft. the interview on espn was just heart-wrenching.

I don't know that he can make it to 70. You don't see a lot geriatric 7 footers as is. Being that big puts a lot of stress on the body. Compound that with this specific degeneratve disorder and it looks even more grim. Even with monitoring and treatment.
