New Orleans Hornets owner George Shinn has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but in a statement released Friday Shinn said he remains healthy, will maintain his normal schedule and focus on beating the disease while actively pursuing a championship performance by his team on and off the court.
"My wife, Denise, and I remain strong in our faith and will maintain a positive attitude as I battle this with intense fervor and drive," Shinn said in the statement. "This is not the first obstacle that I have had to overcome in life, but it will be another one that will be conquered. Those closest to me understand my commitment to God and belief in the power of prayer, so all that I ask is for people to add me to their prayers. I’m proud of the fact that I will be joining the ranks of cancer survivors around the world who exemplify the greatest strength and resilience. I am consulting with the finest doctors and they are also optimistic that this will be another example of overcoming the struggles that life can throw your way. Thanks to the medical staff at Ochsner where I am convinced many of the finest doctors in the country are employed."

I know a lot of people dislike the guy but hopefully he does well and beats this thing. No matter if I dislike a person or not I don't think I could ever wish them ill.
