It was a stunner when 35-year-old LaMarcus Aldridge announced his retirement in April after a 15-year career. He’d been playing great basketball and was part of a Brooklyn Nets team that was destined to make waves in the playoffs.  With all that in his favor, it wasn’t a decision he reached lightly. Aldridge played his entire career with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a heart condition that can cause a rapid or irregular heartbeat.
