File this under both terrifying and candid.

Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge disclosed that he was hospitalized this week with a "deadly blood virus" on his Blazers.com blog on Friday.

" On Saturday I came down with a blood virus. I quickly became sick and had to be rushed to the hospital. I thought it was a case of bad food or a bad cold, but I was wrong. It turned out to be a very serious virus that if not treated quickly could actually be deadly! One thing I know for sure is that I've never felt worse in my life and there were times I wasn't really sure where I was going. Thankfully I had a lot of family support and great medical care that helped me fight through it and now I've turned the corner and I'm feeling much better."

Neither, it's called being a Blazer, it's bad for your health.

On a serious note though, I'm glad he's okay, pretty scary that it could've been deadly.

I hear being a blazer is deadly. It used to just affect the knees, but the more who go down, the stronger it gets.
