I may not understand what a panic attack feels like but I have common sense, he didn't need to sign a contract to play in the NBA to become righteous light for those with a disability.
He could have done that on so many other levels. This is the NBA, this is celebrity, this is millions of dollars to play a game. It's not going to change and really it shouldn't if a guy can't travel, IE he can't get to work.
I couldn't apply for a job, get hired and then refuse to go to work because I have an anxiety disorder that makes me afraid to be on the roads, and then blame my work for my doing enough for me.
