it is but he needs to take time to fully recover. His normal delivery of yelling everything will not help recovery. Hoops is fine till he can be 100%.

Jim Valvano's "farewell" speech at the ESPY's that year is still one of the most inspirational things you will ever see. I especially liked the part where he thumbed his nose at the production crew signalling he only had 30 seconds left to speak. I think he talked for about another eleven minutes, nobody was about to have the stones to cut him off.
