Baylor F Isaiah Austin forced to retire

[D-Rose]

Here's a heartbreaking interview with him about it: link

I feel so bad for the young man, but I hope he's on to great things.

Heartbreaking to watch...this man needs a hug.

The Knicks will still draft him.

[UK2K]

Amazing. He played all those years in college but now its dangerous.

Like Randle having to have an surgery to which he said "**** no"

Or Salinger being forced to have back surgery.

Like what?

Like living.

The NBA season is 82 games long and the games themselves are longer. He'll also be playing against older, more experienced and better players so he'll have to exert himself even more to stay in the league.

The article in the OP says he may be able to join the coaching staff at Baylor, so at least he can still be involved in basketball.

It'll be bigger and better things. It was meant to be.

Yeah he was meant to die early because of an enlarged heart, I heard he was a total dick in his past-life.

Praise Jesus

So he's blind in one eye and has a heart defect that will cause him to give up his pro dream, but God did it so it's cool?

F*cking hell. Feel bad for the kid, he got shafted.
