With all due offense, you are an idiot. My cousin had a "benign" central neurocytoma which rapidly caused her to be confined to a wheelchair, migraines, and significant cognitive impairment and behavorial change before surgery. She had surgical resection of the tumor and spent over a year re-learning how to walk and talk again. She still suffers from limb weakness and cognitive deficit.

Jrue's wife was diagnosed with a meningioma while pregnant. The location and symptoms definitely troubled her doctors and would freak me out if it happened to my wife. If it was "no big deal" or "overblown", there is NO way the doctors would induce early labor to rush a craniotomy.

People who think it was BS that he ws away from the team so long because he was with his wife whil recovering from brain surgery immediately following the birth of his daughter are assholes.


I don't see anywhere where Lauren underwent a craniotomy. I don't see anywhere where she had symptoms other than headaches. Sorry your cousin went through that, but it's not the same situation from what I can observe, as I'm sure your cousin's tumor was much further along and his/her road was much more difficult.

Did your cousin's wife or husband get to take off work for months at a time? If so, did they pay that person in full for their time off? Because that's what the Pelicans were kind enough to do for Jrue. It doesn't make people assholes for noting that Holiday got to do things the normal person wouldn't and was not entitled to that treatment from the team.

Yet it's funny, you can call me an idiot and an a-hole for sharing a brain tumor story, yet your brain tumor story makes you a know-it-all. And you, sir, are going to call me insensitive? Spoiler: I also went through a similar situation, watched a parent endure a crationomy, and have seen how that affects the person the rest of their life. Brain tumors have been a plot line in my life. They are a story in yours.

Hey, don't you lump me in with the pro-Demps crowd man. I jumped off that train long ago and have made it abundantly clear I don't have faith in him to handle the Holiday situation with precision and authority.

She had surgery to remove the tumor followed by radiotherapy. She didn't want to take pictures with her paralyzed face, crossed eye, and half shaved head. What surgery do you think they performed to remove the tumor?

It's not the same situation, my cousin had a different type of tumor and different symptoms, but also was not pregnant. Again, Lauren's condition was severe enough that the doctors contemplated her having surgery while pregnant. The Holidays refused and decided to induce labor a month early for their first child. Can you imagine risking the life of your first child for something that is no big deal or overblown?

My uncle was off work for 3 months paid in full and after that was allowed to take off as needed. His company also didn't have to worrry about the PR/optics of their decision either.

I didn't call you an a-hole for sharing a brain tumor story. I called you an idiot for saying the situation "wasn't a big deal" and "that it was overblown" and an a-hole for being critical of a person for taking off work to take care of his newborn daughter and be with his wife who was recovering from brain surgery after the prematurely induced birth of his first child, a siutation you claimed was overblown. Jrue stayed home for his wife's recovery and to make sure his daughter was healthy. If you are married with children, then I don't see how you can fault him for that or pretend that the situation was overblown.

And you apparently thinks that makes you know the Holidays situation and it does not. Having a parent with a brain tumor is not the same as having a wife pregnant with your first child with a brain tumor. I assume you are not married and don't have children.
