……▶️ when I needed that extra push. There are two things that get you through something like this whether you were vaccinated or not. 1, your will to fight and want to live and 2, your health care, because you are treated way different if you are covered, than not…..▶️ pic.twitter.com/GKZtcnsoIe

That he is well along the road to recovery is the best possible news.
Ceballos spent 11 seasons in the NBA with the Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, Pistons, and Heat. He made the All-Star Team in 1995 and won the 1992 Slam Dunk Contest with the legendary blindfolded dunk. A few years ago, Ceballos found a different kind of fame and popularity when he and former Suns teammate Shawn Marion completed on the CBS reality show “The Amazing Race.”
