- Sportscaster Bob Rathbun suffered an on-air medical emergency during an Atlanta Hawks basketball game. Rathbun slowly slumped in his chair and then started to convulse while commentating on the game. As Rathbun loses consciousness, someone off-camera reaches in to help him as the camera cuts away. His rep said in a statement to Inside Edition that the 68-year-old announcer "briefly lost consciousness on the court." “Emergency medical professionals on-site quickly treated Rathbun for dehydration,” the statement continued.
I had a brain aneurysm in 2010 and the paramedics told my wife I was severely dehydrated. There is more going with this man. God bless him 🙏🏾
Did u do the Harlem shake like he did
@@TheIRSneedsme tried too hard
One too many covid shots is my guess.
@@TheIRSneedsme lololol
@@fringeminority3224 1. You don’t even know if he’s vaxxed or not 2. Can you anti-vaxxers stop commenting that this was caused by booster shots for ten seconds? Cool? Cool.
Him being "treated for dehydration" does not rule out that he was or is not being treated for something else.
Like electrolyte imbalances?
@@Devilish__ you're innocent, they're talking about something else..m
@What Movie Is It? what
@@uncrustable9923 lol
@What Movie Is It? bro is speaking in tounges
I was a paramedic for 35 years. That was NOT dehydration.
@mahatmacoat2793 OK, so they’re liars
Honestly, they prob didn't want to reveal the true reason.
@@MM-ql9xjI just want you to stop. Pray to jesus
@@silverjeyjey4054 Bet he's been vaccinated... ;)
@@worldwideweber2522 i see you have nothing intelligent to offer
So that’s what we’re going with…….dehydration???……..😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Poor man, I am glad he is fine. Well done to the emergency medical professionals for their quick response.
Over worked.
That looked like a seizure
@@torimig2151 As someone who has had seizures, i will say that definitely looked like one
He fainted. Embarrassing, but likely not a medical emergency.
As someone who has seizures, I have no idea what I look like when it happens. I just wake up on the floor (or in an upside down vehicle in someone’s front yard), generally with some kind of injury to my face or head, completely confused as to where I am or what is happening.
Dehydration may have been a contributing factor but it definitely wasn’t the sole reason he was convulsing.
Yeah my sister’s husband had similar happen multiple times and he’d also get extremely out of it and as if he was drunk, unable to walk, etc and they said it was just dehydration, but he’s been getting more tests done and indicates more is going on with heart and such
Calm down nurse
@@hunterq4202 is that person jabbed?
@@aCloudspov No, he was against the Covid vaccines, and seemed kinda anti vax in general like my sister
@@hunterq4202 Seems to be the opposite effect from what I've seen on the news and IRL. Many Pfizer and Moderna takers suffer post-effects (non for J&J in my experience).
I’m glad he’s doing OK. But I’ll tell you what, I wouldn’t like to get caught in a medical emergency with Dominique Wilkins 😂😂
Nique kept the show rolling 😂😂😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As someone who had a seizure and woke up in the hospital not knowing what happened I really hope he's ok.
Me too.. was incredibly unsettling.
That happened to me last year in July abs more this year and last year
@@GobleGoble32 mine was back in 1990. Epilepsy. It's controlled now. I'm on meds.. tethered to them for life but they work
@@Eddie-ud4bb good
@@Eddie-ud4bb I’m on meds but getting off then cause of problems
Rathbun used to be a sportscaster in Norfolk, VA when I was a kid/teen. He was really good and people here really liked him. As I recall, he was on radio and TV in our area and was really good at what he did. I'm sorry to see this happened to him. Hope you're doing okay, Bob!
I’m from that area and my step dad last name is rathbun never heard that name anywhere but my house growing up lol weird sequence
I was just about to mention that. He was on Channel 3 WTKR doing the sports on 6pm news.
This is why government made labor laws almost 100 years ago to prevent things like this . I hope Bob gets better .
Bob is one of my favorites. I used to live in nn near patrick Henry mall. Met him once way back in Chesapeake. He was super nice

Dominique kept going was like i never liked him anyways 😂
Young Dominique would have dunked on him
Absolute professional.
@@cyberbron2077lol bro
That's Absolutely classic Lol 😂
A lot of mentally sick individuals online. Karma is a B*tch!
If THATS dehydration I would hate to see what they think a seizure is
lmao same, clearly dehydration is a cover story for 💉
@@uncrustable9923 oh hey, you’re not very smart
Huh? He's clearly having a seizure. The dehydration is the cause not the symptom.
@@Devilish__ oh hey, you have no argument as to why I am so get a life coward
@@SnowPiercer1975 It really does look as though he is having a seizure. The fact they treated him for dehydration is actually pretty frustrating because it is a known fact that people should not give water to someone who had just gone through something like that.
He should run for president!
His co host looked to the side and just kept going. It was so crazy that someone off camera still opted to stay off camera and just throw an arm out. Help the man! Forget the live! Sheesh! That slow response due to not wanting to mess up the coverage is wild. Just goes to show them if they themselves fell their coworkers wouldn’t even immediately help.
I think the co host was looking at the camera and didn't notice until he looked back.
His co host is NBA hall of famer Dominque Wilkins. Niq wasn't paying attention. He's known to be a kind, caring man
He didn't realize not notice what was happening, I don't think he would've just kept going on had he seen him. Then when he did notice it, they kept turning it off and going back to the beginning of the incident.
He didn’t realize and once he did realize he immediately stopped. Stop trying to make him look bad when he literally did nothing wrong🤦🏽♂️
The show must go on. Even when your cohost is convulsing.
Best wishes to this man and his health
👍
Thumbs up
👍
Good
Good
Its a very scary thing when your body give out and you have no control of what will happen next,its a very helpless feeling. Glad your still with us bob
Idk man I’ve had a seizure before and I don’t even remember it happening
@@potatohead3323 isn't having a seizure pretty much like blacking out?
@@MsMotoko2 yeah, pretty much. Had no clue what the hell happened, just woke up on the floor. Kinda like getting a stroke.
@@potatohead3323 I've had two when I was 16, one in January 2017 and the second in April 2017. The first one I was at lunch at school with my friends. I remember I only took one bite out of my cheeseburger and I was talking to one of my friends and from there I don't remember anything. When I woke up, it felt a dream, I couldn't remember anything for at least 5 minutes or so. I was terrified as soon as the paramedics told me I suffered one when I woke up. I wanted to cry as it had never happened to me before. Then the second one, I was in history class, we were shutting down our laptops after some online work becuase the teacher was about to give a lesson and from there I must have blacked out. I woke up in the ambulance and from there I wad taken to the hospital. It was very scary. I wondered if I would be ok. I was going through some anxiety and depression for the first 5 monts of 2017 and I would have some restless nights sometimes so Idk if that may have contributed in anyway to the convulsions. But thank god It's been nearly 5 years since I last had on, since the second one I haven't had anymore and I'm almost 22. I hope this poor man is okay. I didn't know dehydration can also cause seizures. Scary 😨🙏
@@potatohead3323 lucky u im conscious during my seizures
Dominique is a pro and the show must go on😂
One of my favorite announcers, I’m glad he’s good now 😊
Judging by his slurred speech before it happened, it looks more like a stroke or brain aneurysm, or a clot that moved to his heart or lungs. This was definitely more severe than dehydration. Hope he gets well.
Stroke was my first thought.
Brought to you by Pfizer
Bioweapon, oop's, I .want vaccine. Been happening a lot lately
Exactly what I said... Stroke
@@lorcis1 My friend says you're too dumb to create a good playlist, says the ones on your youtube channel suck.
That is not just dehydrated. But just because the statement stated that’s what he was treated for doesn’t mean he also wasn’t or still is being treated for something else. I hope he makes a full recovery!
It looks like a stroke to me
I'm 99% sure that was a stroke, where's my PHD?
You already know what it is
Died suddenly video on Rumble
@REVIVE ME OH GOD I've got a video on my channel I think you will enjoy about the 10 Virgins. My NDE is embedded in the commentary if you'd be interested in reading about it. The NDE is located within the 1st pinned comment (which is WAY more important to read....)
God bless and much LOVE
I'm glad Bob okay..I pray when I heard about it..He's a good man and great commentary.
That means it's working.
I'm happy that Bob Rathbun is okay and wishing him a speedy recovery!!!!
Benjamin, yes. He became ill so swiftly. It's good he survived.
Rathbun is a very ghetto name.
Why do people laugh at black people names and not the terrible white ones
Go get your booster
He won’t recover because he got the jab
@@SAINTxSZN, Rathbun sounds very British to me.
That is NOT “dehydration”. That’s a seizure, stroke, aneurysm or something along those lines. I hope he is ok!
Yep
No, it’s syncope. Not a seizure.
@@TraceurDoc1 you're obviously not a Doc lol. Syncope is when you pass out. He was clearly convulsing. There's obviously more to it than just syncope.
@@AdelineCowgirl Actually am an attending EM physician and that is a syncopal episode. It is very common to have mild convulsive movements as you’re losing consciousness. Many times it’s flailing by a person that feels the sensation of passing out. What’s obvious is that you know what neither episode looks like 👍
@@TraceurDoc1 I pass out quite often and get told it’s dehydration all the time, I don’t convulse and fit untill I wake up, I just go light headed and tunnel visioned and then my legs go and i suddenly timber over. But I managed to stay awake through one and was stuck kneeling on the floor not being able to move my legs and could feel my brain
Praying for a speedy recovery!
Gaslighting or PR coverup by saying that was dehydration?
Thanks for circling the guy because I never would have spotted which of the 2 men was having medical difficulties without your help.
Lol exactly
😆
😂😂
The uncircled one was having difficulties of their own, including being completely obtuse and oblivious to what was going on about them.
😅🤣😂
Countless times! I’m 42 & have watched sports since I was 8, this sort of stuff rarely happened. Now it’s countless around the globe. I think we all know the truth
It's called the internet. You see more videos now than before. Haha 😄 🤣
@@userbutnotabuser24 yeah the internet has really grown alot since before the jab when we didn't ever see this to after the jab where we see it all the time...major internet growth in that bliink of an eye there lol
Is it Corona Vaccines? 💉 🩸
it's almost like there's more cameras now or something
@@MF99K jabs have grown exponentially more than cameras...so mathematically speaking your argument is weak...
Brother needs to pay more attention. I bet he got the jab 😢
And, I bet your IQ is around 21.
“While his coanchor keeps going” that’s the legend Dominique Wilkins!
He would have had little chance if it was only Dominique around.
Dominique Wilkins is clueless about this kind of situation, that's why...
Announcer on the right is so out of sync with reality he doesn't know what planet he's on. They can see themselves in the monitors in front of them. Both of these guys should have a CAT scan.
Exactly what I thought. Guy on the right is so fired up rattling his speech, he is clueless about his co-worker. I would hate to depend on him for help. His family would be on their own in a crisis, esp during a televised game.
Co-anchor: I'm working here
dude is just rattling on about sport like a buffoon even when he sees the guy convulsing and the clowns behind the camera does nothing
I love that none of you have any idea who that guy is. 😆
@@marioargiropoulos7555 I know who he is-Dominique Wilkins, and yes, he was clueless as to what was happening to his co-announcer.
I have been dehydrated many times but never end up convulsing.
Well you're also not 70 years old
@@valorgaming7114 Well I'm almost 70 years old and have been dehydrated more than once, and have never convulsed. Sounds more like a vaxx-ident.
I am 50 and been dehydrated a bunch! Cramps yes but convulsing no!
You weren't doing it right apparently. Lol
Covid or other medical 😷 factors can cause this.
I'm just so thankful he's okay . Praying for his health be better
Praying is a huge waste of time.
Hope the guy made a good recovery & wish him all the best❤
I'm glad he is ok
That's not just dehydration
I'm glad Mr. Rathbun is okay. That was scary to watch. I hope he will recover 100%.
Its okay, hes fully vaccinated and has had two boosters. Thats all that matters.
Clot shot goes brrrrrr
Hehehe that was funny! he looked like a flopping seal! hehehe
But but but he took the multiple shots of covid poison was to protect others right right?
@J Adler 💉 Yea ECXACTLY!
I hope that the Gentleman is Allright though.
😢 So sad, hope he's doing good 🙏
Thanks, Partner.
Thank God nobody replayed this on the internet to embarrass him further
Thanks for sending me news clips. I didnt know this happened.
There’s a giant elephant in the room that nobody’s talking about. SMH 🤦♂️
That was more than dehydration. The man had seizure of some sort. While one could suffer a seizure being triggered by dehydration, the underlying cause is what is of concern.
Electrolyte imbalance bro
He wasn’t properly boosted, most likely had a sudden Covid attack due to his thirst for WATER
Water water water!! But was this a stroke, sad to see him go through this. Wishing him the very best! Full recovery! 👌💪🙏
the other guys emotionless continuing with the show is what was the most scary
No lie.
@KeizerHedorah oh please, vilifying the man for not being observate in a moment is harsh and ignorant of you.
He could not see him convulsing. He was behind him and his focus was to face the camera and speak which is what a PROFESSIONAL does when on TV.
Yeah, what the hell???!
@@fuzz2912wtf do you mean he looked at him while dudes head is tilted back with his mouth open NO DIDDY!
They lying. That is not just " Losing consciousness." He potentially had a stroke, seizure, or an aneurysm.
As being retired from the emergency services field after 30 years, I can say that's not dehydration by itself.
"That's a cool new dance you're doing, Bob."
I hope you feel better sir!
Hope he recovers quickly 🙏
and not suddenly
Vaccines
I pray he is doing better 🙏
Bro here just taking while dude having a heart attack
Best wishes for speedy recovery. He was clearly having a stroke or mini-stroke, not simply the victim of dehydration. (I dealt with this situation with my own brother.)
Thanks Ron
That's what I was thinking also!
@@jacksonrelaxin3425black people, am I right? My friend.
I'm a medical professional, and I saw these exact symptoms on someone who was dehydrated. It's important to always call for help because their could be some underlying health concerns that you aren't aware of.
In an older person, dehydration can definitely cause a lot of medical problems. It's very possible this gentleman has diabetes or some other condition that can also lead to dehydration. As a younger person, you'd never consider how important hydration is. Almost every time my dad got ill enough that I needed to contact EMS, it would turn out he would be just fine once he was given an IV bag of fluids.
He took it like champ! 💪 I am glad the chair kept steady and strong for this man. Glad to know he’s fine now.
Yep, he took the 'safe & effective' like a champ!
i’m not a doctor but i’m pretty sure JUST dehydration does not cause convulsions, wish him well ❤
Electrolyte imbalances can cause convulsions.
@@Devilish__ wow you're everywhere aren't cha
i have been hospitalized for severe dehydration and it caused me to lose a surprising amount of motor control
Severe dehydration can cause a loss of electrolytes which can cause the body's electrical system (including the heart) to malfunction. That said, I personally don't believe "dehydration" alone was the cause of his episode.
@@uncrustable9923 if he’s everywhere and ur noticing it that means you’re also everywhere
Thank God your in a building with team doctors around and medical emergency professionals
God bless him. Get well soon!
So glad that immediate attention was given and that he's doing well.
Thanks to all the responders/ Medical team who stepped in to assist.
Who cares😊
@@Megan4real921 your mother...who he was banging.
@@Megan4real921 who cares about you
@@Megan4real921 the fact that you said no one cares about this man shows u have no heart
I just can’t get over how this guy looks at him multiple times but doesn’t do anything
New normal
He never looked directly at him until the lady stuck her hand in there
Bob is back and better than ever!
They even have a new cause of death for younger people. Sudden adult death syndrome. Just wow
Blood thinners being marketed to younger people in UK.
Glad that it happened there where all eyes were on him and could provide immediate assistance. And each team having a medical staff on standby. Glad he is ok!
Good point. If he had been in a bathroom stall, or driving, help may have come too late.
@@goodgame3374 Yep. Remember thats how Coolio passed away sadly!
@@BOLOforJESUStheTRIBULTIONear Parable of the Ten Virgins on my channel. Please check it out and endure unto the end. My NDE is located within the comments if you'd like to read it. It's within the 1st pinned comment (which is WAY more important to read...) God bless and much LOVE
@@EarthChickadee God Bless and much love to you too but I will not get into arguments about the rapture. It’s not a salvation issue-we will not have to endure to the end because we will be raptured. A simple read does not give sufficient knowledge of eschatology and I can tell when someone clings to this sentence that’s all they haven’t studied eschatology. To understand eschatology-it takes years or a really good teacher or both. I highly recommend Alan Nolan-Chuck Missler and DTBM. These men have studied for years and have an excellent understanding of eschatology. God Bless.
I hope he gets better and recovers healthy again.
He may in the short term, but the 'safe & effective' experimental injection will have long-term side effects...
Maybe another booster should do the trick. Oh wait... dehydration they say. He should drink more water. Even Dominique who is NOT a medical professional like Dr. J knows this is NOT from dehydration.
I am glad he is Ok 🙏🙏
keep on keepin on
I dont doubt they treated him for dehydration but that was absolutely not the only issue present. Wishing a fast recovery.
Hawks fan here, glad to hear Bob is doing okay now. Scary moment for all of us. He is a staple of the Hawks organization. I've listened to him broadcast many of games with Dominque. This is scary. Just happy he's doing good now.
I concur

Whoa! There's actually hawks fans?? Lol I'm just kidding. You guys don't really like basketball much over there though
Go get your booster 😆 🤣 😂
@@detroitlionspistonstigersr6735 As a Hawks myself the stands always seem half empty.
Hope you do well and take care of yourself...
how awful. thats terrifying. hope he's doing well now.
The whole time I'm watching this video I'm screaming in my head "Dominique turnaround!" . I know he was focused on his commentary and did not realize what was going on. Happy to hear that he is doing well and wishing him a speedy recovery.
The graphic design made it seem as tho Dominique was sitting next to him.
Right! Bc they sure made him seem oblivious 😐
The tv lighting makes it hard to see clearly.
He looked right at him and continued on...
@@Tony525_ lol he's like -eh
I've been dehydrated before and I was sick to my stomach, nauseous, ect, but I didnt convulse and go unconscious. Regardless of what caused it, I hope he is okay!
That was a seizure. Dehydration could have played a role in it but there's more going on than just that. I've been severely dehydrated when I wrestled cutting weight and never did I do this.
@Lynn McCoy can you comprehend?
Lets not beat around the bush, we know what it was. The jibbedy jabs.
Peoples bodies react differently to different things and situations. Please just think a little and you might see the ignorance in your statement.
it was from the jab genius
Man - that looked like more than dehydration. That looked like a spirit leaving a body.
Dude looks like he is getting blown, and hitting the point of no return!
He’s talking one second then non verbal and convulsing the next! That’s not dehydration
This man was so lucky to have this happen to him when and where it did! If he was alone it could be a whole other horrible ending. Thank God for the people around him.
It won't end well for him or any other weak sheeple that took the clot shots. Tick tock vaxtards....
Amen 🙏
Seizure or stroke my man was oblivious to what was right in front of him.
I sure glad his ok ❤🙏 get well 😘 God loves you
Poor guy. I'm glad he's ok.
Glad he's okay! Sending prayers his way 🙏
I have to say that watching this video made me VERY SAD . Seeing anyone having a medical problem is disheartening. I hope and pray 🙏 he is well now
It’s even sadder when the man sitting right next to him is oblivious and just keeps talking instead of helping
Glad to hear he is alright!
Co host has very little situational awareness
Who would? They're in a loud arena and Bob made no sound to alert Dominque
That’s a stroke breh
facts
How horrible. Prayers being sent for Mr Rathbun 🙏♥️
Prayers
Him all slumped while his co-broadcaster kept going hd me laughing 😂
That's terrifying to go through. I pray he's okay.
do you not realize that this was from the jab?
@@government_is_violence Has it been proven or is this conspiracy theory?
I’ve never seen any basketball commentator lose consciousness on air. Glad he’s all right now.
you must be young
It's not exactly a common occurrence
Could be, because the amount of basketball commentators, the times they need medical support as well as beeing on air at this occasion has only a verry small intersection.
You probably haven't seen an announcer who was triple boosted either. Get your popcorn, the shows only just begun
IT’S THE VACCINE!!! WAKE UPPPP!!!!
So scary. Hope he is OK.
Glad he was ok 🙏
Scary moment. I'm glad he's doing better. 🙏🏾
That’s truly scary!! I’m glad he’s okay.
Dominique Wilkins is not the person you want at your side comment if you have a medical emergency. Luckily for Bob it wasn't anything more serious or Wilkins would have just watched him expire.
Dominique was one hell of a player back in the 80's/90's, but even I would have known Bob was having medical issues had I not known what this video was about ahead of time.
😆😆😆😆😆 I said the same thing
I was like WTH Dominique
The clip was on replay, inside edition did a horrible editing.
What was Nique supposed to do, grab the dude and windmill dunk him to the nearest hospital. He probably didn’t realize what was happening until like 5-10 seconds later, certainly not something he was expecting
I remember Bob when he and Rick Rizzs had the misfortune of replacing Ernie Harwell as the Tigers' radio voices (Harwell was shockingly fired and his partner, Paul Carey, retired). The fans never warmed up to them and soon, Harwell was reinstated. Nevertheless, seeing Rathbun in distress was disheartening. I'm glad he's OK.
One of the all time greats. I want to meet this man in heaven. Rest in paradise Lyle.
I am glad he is OK. Us 68 year olds have to stick together. Be strong.
God bless you all, I pray for your health and well being!
Right glad he is recovering well
I'd be nicer if you stuck together at 69
Yeah everyone’s out to getcha
That pfp looked like Klaus Schwab. Sorry but your comment didn't fit his pfp lol
How didn’t the guy next to him not notice he was having a stroke
He ignored him. You don't want him by your side
That's more on the producers and the cameramen for not stopping it since the host was mostly looking into camera, and they can actually see it happening in real time.
@@rashb3994 but the host looked right at him and did nothing
