One thing I didn't like about the article was this paragraph:
Pollin never has publicly disclosed the disease doctors diagnosed several months ago, but many of his friends know he is suffering from progressive supranuclear palsy, a rare degenerative disease of the brain that impairs movements and balance. It often is mistaken for Parkinson's and gets progressively worse, but it is not directly life-threatening.
Um, if Pollin has never disclosed the disease, perhaps it's because he didn't want it to be public knowledge? I guess it's more than just "his friends" who know it now. We don't need to know what it is, so why mention it? Maybe it's just the way it reads, and Pollin isn't concerned with that knowledge being reported. But if he didn't want it to be public, I would think they should have honored those wishes and respected his privacy.
And yes, they should do something special for him - especially if they bring it back home for Game 6.
