David Blatt wrote an open letter published by Olympiacos that addresses his health condition and it didn’t take long for the Basketball World to rush and send messages of support to the 60-year-old coach.
Among them were his former clubs including Maccabi Tel Aviv, Darussafaka and Anadolu Efes as well as the players who played under him and not only.
Take a look at the reactions:

Respect to you coach & your battle!✊?My wife was also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. You are exactly right that it effects everyone differently and exercise, activity, diet and medicine are key to maintaining quality of life. Keep pushing & working everyday. God bless ?? https://t.co/KHvZp9XdRP
