Sportscaster Bob Rathbun (https://www.reddit.com/r/AtlantaHawks/comments/zee638/great_news_everyonejust_heard_from_our_friend_bob/) suffered (https://www.reddit.com/r/AtlantaHawks/comments/zdpr94/prayers_up_for_bob_rathbun/) an on-air medical emergency (https://awfulannouncing.com/bally/atlanta-hawks-announcer-bob-rathbun-has-medical-emergency-on-air-during-pregame-show.html) 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.
