Hello,
Just wanted to let you all know about a basketball player at the University of Akron named Derrick Tarver. Why is Derrick Tarver relevant to this board? Well...he has HCM and is currently one of the top college players in America. A few years ago Derrick's twin brother, Darren, almost died on the court as a result of HCM. Derrick was then checked out and it was found that he, too, has HCM. Derrick has since had a defibrillator implanted and he has been fine ever since. He finished this season as one of the leading scorers in the entire country and has a chance to make the NBA next year if teams are willing to draft a player with HCM, although I doubt they will do so after what has happened to so many b-ball players with HCM in the past. Anyhow, I will include some links about him at the end of this message.
