    well it's pretty easy to enjoy all the fatty foods available these days ..especially to someone who can afford to eat out at the best restaurants 3x a day.

    Doctors later inserted a stent to unclog an artery that was 100 percent clogged. ... He is expected to make a full recovery.

    Happy talk.

    Ainge will need to investigate lifestyle changes, in order to make a full recovery.

    Good for Ainge he'll be OK. Many people don't get a warning.

    I believe this is Ainge's 2nd heart attack.

    His first occurred immediately after he hit Mario Elie in the head with that inbounds past.

    That sucks, even though I don't like him after the Elie-incident it's still just a game. I still found it funny though that Elie got hit with the ball in the head just because he was cheering with Hakeem. The funny part would have been if he would have hit Olajuwon instead of Elie, they stood next to each other with their backs turned to Ainge and I still laugh at it when I think how Olajuwon would have reacted if he was the one getting the "BOUNCE" in the head.

    Ainge looks reasonably healthy, not overweight. He doesn't jump out as a candidate for heart problems.

    And I'm the type of person who can't gain weight for the life of me. But THIS is why I still don't eat junk/fast food and exercise regularly. People should take care of their health, forget the reasons for looking good.

    This actually happens a lot when people are in the late 40s to early 50s. I assume this isn't in his left main artery and it's probably in one of the smaller arteries (obtuse marginal, etc)...so most likely he'll be okay.

    I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Glad he's going to be OK. And yes, I'd blame Garnett as well!
