    He's going to do a swab for a possible bone marrow donation??? Giving bone marrow is no joke...and usually not for non-family members. If he goes through with this, then my respect with Hibbert will go through the roof.

    This gets me wondering. If an NBA player chooses to donate an organ or undergo a medical procedure which renders him unable to play NBA for some time, is he prohibited from doing so, does he have to sign wavers?

    In before Aceshigh7 makes a ridiculous statment about cancer and how he thinks it's all mental.

    Great move by Hibbert, though.

    Good on him. If only more NBA players cared about others. Great Example.
