Couldn't possibly come up with a reply to do that justice. I wonder if the seizure part is true.

According to the SI Vault, it is true:

One day last June, St. John's center Bill Wennington came close to losing it all. While playing for the Canadian national team in a pre-Olympic tune-up in New York City , Wennington , who's 7 feet, 245 pounds, took the ball at the end of a two-on-one fast break and went up for a dunk—higher than usual, it turned out. His feet flew out in front of him, he landed on his head and right shoulder and went into a convulsion on the floor. "A scary experience," says Wennington , who was hospitalized for two days. But he recovered to play in the Olympics and returned to St. John's campus in Queens , N.Y. in one piece. That happy ending is just the beginning of a happy story for the Redmen, who have four starters back and have added a prodigal son to form what looks to be Lou Carnesecca 's best team ever.
