Chris Bosh opens up about unexpected blackout before romantic date night with his wife

As the 2x NBA champion was getting ready for a fun and romantic date night with his wife, Adrienne Williams, he suddenly felt a weird sensation in his left leg. The next thing he knew was that he was lying on the ground and wasn’t able to lift his body. “So I woke up covered in my own blood. It was crazy, it was fast. It was instant, there was no warning, I didn’t have any time to prepare for it”, the 11x NBA star explained.

He further said, “I was getting ready to go on a date with my wife, and the next thing you know, I was on the ground. It was a scary thing, and it came fast. After coming back from the darkness, there was no euphoric clarity. No life montage flashing before my eyes. No voice in my ear telling me it’ll be ok and what to do next.”

But, it was a scary thing and it came fast”.

And by then, it’s too late.” He also revealed how he feels lucky to be alive.
