Actually, you psycho, he had a history of seizures.

Sad.

Any word on his prognosis?

Indeed, very sad.

JONESBORO, Ga. — Former NBA All-Star Mookie Blaylock, one of the best defensive-minded guards of his era, was upgraded to serious condition after an accident Friday in this Atlanta suburb that left one woman dead.

Blaylock had been on life support for several hours after being airlifted from the accident scene, but he was off that Saturday morning and sedated following surgery for a broken ankle at Atlanta Medical Center. Friday, an Atlanta television report had shown Blaylock, his head bloodied, being carried on a stretcher at the accident scene.

When Blaylock is in condition to be interviewed by police, the former Oklahoma star, who played for the Atlanta Hawks from 1992 to 1999, could face vehicular homicide charges in the death of Monica Murphy, 40. The accident happened Friday afternoon on Tara Boulevard, a busy four-lane highway 17 miles south of Atlanta in Clayton County

...Blaylock also is in line to face charges for driving on a suspended license and failure to maintain control of the vehicle, Allen said.

Allen also said there was an outstanding warrant in Spalding County for Blaylock for failure to appear on a DUI and drug charge. There were no indications alcohol or a high rate of speed was a factor in the accident. Allen said Blaylock previously had been under a doctor's care for seizures.

Bet y'all don't know this:

When the band Nirvana was first starting out, they played gigs around Seattle for $10 or so. They mostly spent that money on sports cards and, when they sent a demo tape to a record company, a Mookie Blaylock card was accidentally included. When the record company wanted to sign them and send them out on the road immediately, they didn't have a name so they used Mookie Blaylock for the first 10 shows they ever did.

That's right. Nirvana's original name was Mookie Blaylock. And, when Mookie found out about it later, he was cool with it.

That is sad to hear, but my obvious question is - if he had a history of seizures, why was he permitted to drive?

You are an ass.

You got the story right, but the band wrong.

It was Pearl Jam, not Nirvana.

Yeah, seizures likely caused by his drug use.

From the article.

According to Allen, Blaylock had an outstanding warrant out of Spalding County on DUI and drug charges for failing to appear in court.

Another druggie got what was coming to him.

I wasn't aware you were a doctor, and thus able to determine that!

You're still a vile, psychotic bitch.
