I thought Dr. Rumack was still treating him...

He be illin'?

Leukemia is no match for the Abdul-Jabbar, for he is the high-handed, long-legged enemy.

That's sad.

Sounds like he has a good attitude towards it.

I loved watching him play. And I was a Celtics fan.

I guess his goggles did nothing, then.

"Lets see you run Bill Walton up and down the court for 45 minutes a game..."

Feel better, hugely tall good basketball playing and studying with Bruce Lee man.

He should have had the lasagna.

roger, roger. what's our vector, victor

Just curious - exactly when in this guy's life did he cease being a total dbag? I have no record of it.

I think shortly after he started smoking teh debbil weed to ease the pain of migraines.

Surely you must be joking.

Umm...subby, Dr. J wasn't really an MD. It was merely a nickname.

/tmyk

Thank god fritopendejo cleared that up for me. But now I'm questioning whether or not it's a good idea for Dr. Pepper to give me that flu vaccine

gopher321: Surely you must be joking.

I'm not joking. And stop calling me Shirley.

/had to be done.

Dr. Dre does NOT have a medical degree either.

His form of leukemia isn't as bad as it could be. He's not going to die instantly or anything. He said his life hasn't changed much at all, same diet and work schedule as before. He has his blood tested once a month, goes to the doctor twice a month, and takes meds everyday.

I've been consulting with Dr. Denis Leary. He tells me to shut the fark up, and then yells "NEXT!".

Maybe he should consult the doctor who's kept Magic Johnson alive all these years, despite having AIDS. Or maybe Magic just has a severe case of the flu.

fritopendejo: Umm...subby, Dr. J wasn't really an MD. It was merely a nickname.

Boy, I've seen some weapons-grade stupid on Fark before, but wow.

Well busting your buns every night dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes would take its toll on your immune system.

Politely disagrees with you.

The Doctor prescribes a facial.

and it looks like the NBA is already getting ready to cash in on this comes play off times, wasn't there a story a week ago about Kobe practicing with an unconventional partner who just happened to be Kareem? They are going to play the hell out of this during the play offs , they will have Kareem interview Kobe and they will cry together or some bullshiat like that.

wait, the NBA is still around?

/thought it retired when Jordan did
//no not the first time

Great,

Now Kareem, that old sky-hooker, has another 'tool' in his bag of tricks to get women to sleep with him.

"Hey, I'm dying of leukemia and only sex with you will cure me."

Should land him in the paint.

Sure. I just remember the diagnosis for my bif sister a few years ago. "She has the good kind, it's very treatable". And maybe it was. Nevertheless she was dead in 120 days from diagnosis. I'd hate to see what the bad kind does.

I doubt Kareem needs such tricks. He merely needs to introduce himself.

He's an Osteopath.

What about Dr. John?

I'm sad that subby didn't include something like "no word on whether not having the lasagna or having to drag Walton's and Lanier's ass up and down the court for 48 minutes had something to do with it". That's the angle I would have gone for.

Dead for Tax Reasons: roger, roger. what's our vector, victor

I know what you're trying to say. You want me to get an abortion.

To Kareem:
Good luck. We're all counting on you.

My redlit headline- Roger Murdock must have had the fish again.

at least I'm not bitter or anything...

Met Kareem a dozen or so times in IngleHOOD when I worked there and he was nothing if not nice/pleasent every time. So if you judge a guy by opinions of hack assed sports writers, sure, he was a bad guy. Dumbfark!

Most Leukemia is very treatable these days. The most common form has a survival rate of 85%. In terms of cancer, that's pretty damn good. But in terms of anything, that's frightening to hear.

skinink: Maybe he should consult the doctor who's kept Magic Johnson alive all these years, despite having AIDS. Or maybe Magic just has a severe case of the flu.

No shiat. I've never seen someone with HIV put on weight like that.

Gets your hands out my cookie jar!
Too tall to ride in a car!

Maybe he shouldn't have eaten the fish.

/Golly!

KingKauff: What about Dr. John?

Right place, wrong time...

Geesh.

Funny how that goes...you tell one person "It's very treatable," and they drop dead. You tell another person (like my step-uncle) they're dead in 60 days, and they're still kicking 10 years later.

What's up with that noise?

WhyteRaven74: KingKauff: What about Dr. John?

very nice.

I just want to wish him good luck. We're all counting on you, Kareem.

/BTW check out his IMDB page- dude's been on The Critic, Diff'rent Strokes, BASEketball, Full House, Fresh Prince, Fletch, Scrubs...

I think this is the same, or at least similar, leukemia my father-in-law has. He was diagnosed 9 years ago, but he has pills he gets from the cancer centre that he takes every day that help him manage it. He also has to get his blood tested and bone marrow biopsied every few months. Other than that, his life is normal.

I thought he was the greatest, but my dad said he didn't work hard enough on defense.

When something bad happens to religious people isn't that proof that their God must not exist? Around here at least?

/yeah yeah, heading back to the politics tab.....

"Djinn, no chaser". His starring role in Tales From the Darkside.

WORST MISQUOTE OF A FAMOUS AIRPLANE LINE ON FARK EVAR!!!

/"Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes."

I hear he has to go to a hospital.

LISTEN KID... I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

/I just want to tell him good luck. We're all counting on you.

He should talk to Magic and see what he did to cure the aids.
