Former NBA player became a billionaire-businessman Junior Bridgeman, a medical emergency suffered while he participated in a public event on Tuesday.
Bridgeman, 71, was interviewed during a benefit lunch for the Lincoln Heritage Council, Scouting America, for hundreds of attendees when he expressed that he thought he had a heart attack, according to Wlky.
After people came into action to help, the star of the ex-Milwaukee Bucks and La Clippers was then removed in an ambulance.
Junior, whose real name Ulysses is, enjoyed more than a decade in the NBA, with most of his career spent in Milwaukee.
Since he was bent from basketball, he has become one of the most prominent business leaders and philanthropists in Louisville, in which Forbes recently appreciated his assets at a stunning $ 1.4 billion.
After he had withdrawn from the NBA Bridgeman, he also invested somewhat of his savings in fast food chain Wendy's and American Diner Chile, who have more than 100 restaurants before he was sold in 2016.
