At the peak of Mason's career in 1995, he earned the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award. Two years later, he earned a spot in All-NBA (3rd team) and NBA All-Defensive Team (2nd team). In 2001, he was selected to the NBA All-Star Game. Anthony Mason earned most of his net worth through his successful NBA career.
Meanwhile, Anthony Mason is in critical condition after a massive heart attack, The Daily Mail reported. According to retired NBA writer Peter Vecsey, who shared Mason's health condition early Wednesday, the former New York Knicks power forward suffered a congestive heart failure and had four surgeries over the course of 9 hours.
Anthony Mason who has a remarkable basketball career and net worth, has been struggling with heart problems. As Vecsey tweeted, Mason was at a hospital undergoing some tests when he suffered a heart attack. In another tweet, Vecsey said the retired athlete needed a heart transplant to pull through.
"Mason, 350 lbs, had heart issue 4 yr. Was on 2d fl of hosp taking test when attack occurred. Surgery was on 3. Very lucky not on 1, I'm told," the retired writer wrote. Then added, "Should Anthony Mason pull through, I'm told he'll need a heart transplant. Charles Oakley may be lone person with one big enough..."
After Vecsey's tweets about Anthony Mason, New York Knicks also posted a message of support for their former player and his family, ESPN reported.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Anthony Mason and his family. #Knicks," the team tweeted.
Mason is currently surrounded by his two sons, Anthony Jr. and Antoine, who both followed in his footsteps to be a basketball player. Also by his hospital bedside is Mason's mother, Mary, who will celebrate her 90th birthday tomorrow.
We are all hopeful for Mason's fast recovery. But in the event that he would not survive, who will inherit Anthony Mason's $17 million net worth?
