Ronnie James, the son of LeBron James and a star in his own right, collapsed a week ago today
while I think practicing. He was at the sports center and we now have the 9-1-1 call, just
absolutely chilling. Amazing. I want to start with this. He appears to be okay. He's out of
the hospital. I'll show you the new video of him. Thank God. Here's the 9-1-1 call
of what happened after he collapsed.
Okay.
So, I mean, this is very young man. And by the grace of God, he collapsed of cardiac arrest
last Monday. And by this weekend, LeBron released the following video of him. He's out of the
hospital. And look at him.
Oh, my God. I mean, to me, that looks like a miracle. He's 18 years old. He plays college
at USC, college ball. This is scary because any young athlete worries about this kind of thing.
I know people have speculated, is it the vaccine? We're not going to do that.
But any young athlete has to worry about just the extraordinarily taxing,
you know, number of practices and just how much you press your bodies.
And in particular, when it comes to young men in heart health, we have seen a rash of incidents.
And it's alarming to me as a mother of two boys. Never mind, I'm sure to somebody like you,
who's actually in basketball full time. What do you make of this whole thing?
Well, I think for starters, just saying, like you said, praise God that he's okay.
I know I have in many of people across America, I've been praying for not just
Ronnie, but LeBron and his family. So I'm grateful to see him back doing what he does
and able to play the piano. That's great. It is terribly scary. I had when I was at
when when I was at Florida State, I had a teammate, his name was Ojo. And he actually
passed away because of a cardiac arrest moment after I had already left. I've been with him
with the magic, I think a year or two. And it was right around the time of, you know,
the COVID outbreak and everything. And he had he had a heart issue and ended up dying. And so it's
near and dear to me. And it's just, you know, who knows? I just I'm glad that he's okay.
And I have heard and seen, you know, stories of, you know, uptick in athletes, you know,
struggling with this and, you know, where it comes from, everybody speculating and things
like that. But I'm just grateful that that Brian is okay. It's to me, it's it's like,
we featured about a year ago, our family friends, the Barclayges and the loss of their son, Blake,
at age 17, who died. Similarly, he had like he just dropped, dropped. And it turned out he
had myocarditis. And the family said very openly, they had no idea whether it was caused by COVID,
by the COVID vaccine, by something unrelated. They really couldn't tell any of that. But
they are big proponents now of getting screened. And they work with this group called Simon's
Heart, which I recommend to everyone listening, Simon's Heart, which will come into your
sports organization or your school or your NBA, you know, team and do heart screenings.
And they do find abnormalities sometimes, you know, it's like, like a lot of times you're out
there, you don't know if you've got something, or maybe heart damage from something, whether
it's myocarditis or something. Like, to me, it's just a reminder that you cannot be too careful,
even if you're a young man. As you point out, we see it too frequently. And I like you,
I'm not a big LeBron James fan, because I don't like his woke messaging. But
God bless him and his son that this goes well beyond any of those nonsense debates, you know.
