Former NBA champion Chris Bosh has revealed new details about a life-threatening medical emergency that nearly claimed his life earlier this year, years after blood clots forced his premature retirement from professional basketball. Speaking about the incident, Bosh said he "almost dropped dead pretty much and came back to life," recalling a pulmonary embolism that required emergency medical care.
