A member of the Basketball Hall of Fame revealed the dramatic details of the struggle for life: 'I crashed dead and came back to life'

Former NBA champion and member of the Hall of Fame, Chris Bosh, has revealed he recently faced life-threatening health issues related to blood clots, which have plagued him for years. In an interview with HoopsHype, Bosh described experiencing a pulmonary embolism in January, requiring hospitalization for several days. He explained that his health struggles began in 2015 when a clot from his leg traveled to his lungs, leading to his early retirement from basketball. Despite efforts to return to play, medical professionals deemed it too risky, resulting in his release by the Miami Heat in 2017 and formal retirement two years later. Bosh remains remembered as one of the greatest big men of his era, having averaged 19.2 points and 8.5 rebounds per game over 13 seasons with the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat, and winning two NBA championships with the Heat. His legacy was further honored when the Heat retired his jersey number 1.

The NBA legend openly admitted: "Yes, I had an episode in January, I practically collapsed dead".

NBA legend Chris Bosh has openly admitted to experiencing a life-threatening health crisis in January, during which he nearly died from a pulmonary embolism. In a recent interview with HoopsHype, Bosh described the incident as 'almost dropping dead' and emphasized the severity of his condition, having spent a week in the hospital. This follows a history of blood clots dating back to February 2015, which led to his early retirement from the NBA. Despite efforts to return to play, Bosh was forced to retire in 2019 after failing to pass a medical clearance for the 2016/17 season. The Miami Heat honored him by retiring his jersey number 1, acknowledging his contributions over 13 seasons with both the Toronto Raptors and the Heat.
