@GialloHorror It was an amazing experience I promise you. I got to spend time with him at a sports camp in the early 70's. Very modest guy, almost shy when you talked to him. He put on a clinic for us and that is still the most incredible athletic exhibition I have ever seen or ever will see.
His death has long affected my belief system.

@TheCrew906 It wasn't a hole in the heart.. It was a 'heart defect'--so 'rare' no statistics exist. Enlarged heart yet weak because he was born 'without' one of the two artery systems that supply the heart with blood.
(Take notes if you will) as I have read about this defect he was lucky he wasn't dead before 18... So he was blessed in ways... Playing in the NBA with out one of your main arteries in your heart.. *Think what he could do with a healthy heart...?
