Apparently he knew about a heart condition for a long time, but the doctors that tested him before never figured out it could be that serious. That must be a terribly difficult decision to make for a professional athlete to end your career so abruptly, but ultimately it should be the right (and safe) thing to do. Good luck for your life Cuttino.

Sorry to hear that. I always liked the guy, except when he played against us.

I think they are forcing him to retire to clear up cap space for Lebron.
