We don’t deserve this.
Damn
Dude that’s the second announcement today, wth
First Mutombo, now Nate. Really tough day for NBA legends
Deke and Nate both going through some scary stuff, hope they both recover quickly.
I hope he pulls through and has the right people around him in his time of need
> the last four years
So he fought Jake Paul with kidney failure? How tf was his boxing license approved
What’s going on this week
Damn, Nate finally found his excuse for the Jake Paul fight. Hopefully Nate pulls thru
Damn, hope the treatment goes well
Kidney failure sucks man. Unless you have a transplant your life is pretty much revolved around the dialysis machine. Wish him all the best.
Bro WTF? Hope he can pull through
One of my best friends has been on dialysis for 14 years. I’ve gone to treatments with him and seen what most people look like coming out of treatment, which is like death is coming. My homie manages his homestead and Marijuana business on his own while going to treatment 4 times a week like a stud. I couldn’t do it and I’m a lot healthier than him. I don’t know how he does it.
oh no!
Deke and Nate what the hell is this? Hope both guys pull through without further complications.
Kidney failure sucks man
I wouldn’t wish dialysis on anyone
he won 3 dunk contests??? wtf isnt that like a record?
not a great day for random fan favorites wtf
I had a friend whose dad passed away from kidney failure after years of undergoing dialysis. It was heartbreaking to watch how frail he got. Wishing the best for Nate, he is one of my favorite Bulls players of all time. He was easily one of the most exciting players to watch.
Damn – hope Nate gets better
Prayers for nate. Hopefully he gets better.
One of my favorite Nate moments.

I’ve passed 11 months on dialysis, and now going for my 4th year as a receiver of a kidney transplant. I hope he has his chance with transplant, as it vastly improves quality of life.
Its a rough disease in the sense that we have very strict diet and regular mandatory treatments. And its good that he is opening up, its a silent disease that often is found out in the brink of being irreversible. So if you can, do regular checkups, and try to do healthier choices. Every little change counts 🙂
Prayers up for Nate.
Bro first dikembe now this 🙁
My brother had kidney issues and it effectively took 7 years of his life before he got the transplant and he’s living a healthy life now. Wish nothing but the best for Nate!
