This guy is someone to look up to even if considered a bust in the NBA. Living with type 1 diabetes is a serious chronic illness. Every time out he would check his BG levels. My son was diagnosed at 14 months. 10 finger pokes and 5-8 insulin injections per day. Respect this man and appreciate what he had to overcome to be able to play this beautiful game. Peace.

I couldn't agree more. Most people don't realize what a hardship type I Diabetes is. I'm a physician, and I can tell you for a fact that type II is a cake walk compared to type I. Since type I is by far less common, the public underestimates the demands it puts on a child.

@@jaquevius THANK YOU, as a 19 year old college student who has lived with type 1 since I was 4 Adam Morrison was someone I looked up to growing up. Knowing that having type 1 won't hold you back from doing what you love got me through a lot growing up.

@@amadou234 That's awesome that he was a living example of what is possible. I know a little bit about what you have been through. My son was born with PKU, which requires an extremely precise and limited diet. Let's just say spontaneity, field trips, sleep overs, and eating out can be stressful. Makes planning vacations etc a little nerve racking too. He has also seen people with his condition who have accomplished a lot, which has been very good for him too.
