“Stanford was diagnosed with leukemia during a routine physical 15 years ago and is now in the final stages of his fight with cancer. One of his final wishes was to take his son to a Clippers game, but the Clippers provided much more than that, letting him practice with the team early Friday.”
“I never knew I was going to get invited to come to the practice and actually meet the guys,” Stanford said. “This has been just an amazing experience to be here and put on some gear and go out and shoot a few air balls. Stanford, now 54 years old, has a 16-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old son.”
“Stanford laughed as he said that, his effervescence and positive attitude masking the fight he’s gone through. He said 15 years is a long time to cope with the emotions of the situation.”
“Now, I focus on my family,” Stanford said. “Every day is a holiday, so we can just love each other.”
