NBA Center Talks About Overcoming Asthma And The Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Skills Challenge

Guest: Merck & Co., Inc.

NBA star Tyson Chandler was diagnosed with asthma in 2004, but that hasn’t stopped the 7’1” New Orleans Hornets center from working to rise to the top of his game. By partnering with his doctor, Tyson has kept his asthma under control. Today, asthma affects 6.8 million children in the United States (nearly 1 in 15) and is the most common chronic condition affecting children. Tyson wants to help raise awareness among parents of children with asthma that the disease does not need to get in the way of their child's goals. Chandler hopes his personal story will help dispel the myth that having asthma should limit physical activity.

This year the New Orleans Hornet is an ambassador for the Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Skills Challenge. This nationwide competition sponsored by Merck & Co. Inc. allows boys and girls to test their fundamental basketball skills. The Skills Challenge runs from December 2008 to May 2009 and is free for boys and girls, ages 9 to 14. Participants will compete in a time-based, half-court obstacle course to demonstrate their fundamental basketball skills and physical fitness. The Jr. NBA/ Jr. WNBA Skills Challenge will feature more than 700 local, regional and national competitions. The goal of the competition is to generate enthusiasm around basketball. Materials will also be available to help educate parents about asthma control.
