Yikes.  Heart Disease?  Didn't even know he had it.  That's too bad - never really liked or disliked Cuttino but this is always tough to see.
God bless and good night!

Has there been any word on who he retires as? (eg. Knicks?) in my opinon its a shame if he dosnt get the chance to retire for his old team, he has played well for them and should get a chance to get appluded for his work where he has played recently

Sucks. I remember back when Mobley was leading URI into the Elite 8. 

It's scary, I was looking into the heart issue, apparently it is the same thing Reggie Lewis had.

You gotta feel for the guy. You can tell he love the game of basketball. Sucks to see his career end this way.

Good question.  Despite Walsh's comments, you've got to think that they knew about this before trading for him.  If the league lets them wipe it from the books, I'd for one be very skeptical (esp. given our misfortune in the Reggie situation).
God bless and good night!
