Holy Shit Danny Ainge Had A Heart Attack On Tuesday

For whatever reason I still have my Shams/Woj notifications on from the trade deadline, so whenever I see something pop up I always get a little jolt even though at this point it’s mostly coaching news and podcast promos. So when I opened my phone and I saw this tweet it literally stopped me in my tracks. IU had to read it a few times just to make sure I wasn’t imagining things. I’m no doctor but I know that even if it’s “mild” you don’t mess with heart attacks. My girlfriend’s Dad went through one a few years ago, had a triple bypass, the whole nine and it was some of the scariest shit we’ve ever gone through. So right off the bat it’s great to hear that Ainge is expected to make a full recovery, and shoutout to all the medical professionals involved, all of Celtics Nation thanks you.

I don’t care who you root for, you never want to hear news like this. If there’s one thing we do know though it’s that Danny Ainge is one tough sonofabitch and he’s not going to let anything get in his way of ultimately raising that 18th banner. But that should be be the furthest thing from his mind right now. There are bigger things in life than basketball, and I think it goes without saying that we all wish Danny a speedy recovery.

Now, because why not, here’s a video of Ainge rapping to hopefully send some positive energy his way
