Bob Rathburn, while calling the Atlanta Hawk’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, started to convulse, ultimately losing consciousness while the cameras were rolling.
According to TMZ, the Hawks have announced Rathburn is now in stable condition and was just “dehydrated.”
There’s been a lot of on-air “dehydration” this year.
