Nick Gilbert Passes Away Saturday Due To Genetic Condition 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun May 7, 2023 4:52 pm

Nick Gilbert, the son of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, passed away on Saturday due to a genetic condition at the age of 26 years old.


Nick Gilbert had a lifelong battle with neurofibromatosis (NF1).


Nick Gilbert frequently represented the Cavs at the NBA draft lottery, twice getting the No. 1 pick in the draft.


The Gilberts launched a foundation in 2017 that funded more than $18 million in research grants to find a cure for Type 1 neurofibromatosis.


The Cavs dedicated their most recent season to Nick Gilbert and others affected with the genetic condition.

Someone out there somewhere is discussing whether they would prefer living 26 years as Dan Gilbert's son or a full life as the average Joe.
