"I want Malik, when he's 30, 40, 50 years old, to know that his dad was in the stands." @MSU_Basketball F Malik Hall's father, Lorenzo, has early-onset dementia. @BTNJourney shares the Hall family's story.

@BigTenNetwork @MSU_Basketball @BTNJourney Thank you for telling this story! Very beneficial to many spouses and families dealing with these same challenges. This Illini fan hopes Sparty can go a long way in March, so Lorenzo can see many, many more of Malik's games.
@BigTenNetwork @MSU_Basketball @BTNJourney Love Malik so much. I can't imagine processing that at his young age.
@BigTenNetwork @MSU_Basketball @BTNJourney Thank you for sharing and shining a light on a challenging and not talked about disease that is plaguing families.
@BigTenNetwork @MSU_Basketball @BTNJourney @Juliehall67 @iammalikhall You have my utmost respect and support 🙏. My Mom had Alzheimer's. I understand grieving the loss of the person you love even as they live. I honor your strength and your devotion to Lorenzo.
@BigTenNetwork @MSU_Basketball @BTNJourney Holy shit man! Holy shit.
@BigTenNetwork @MSU_Basketball @BTNJourney Malik is a great Spartan. Prayers to your family
@BigTenNetwork @MSU_Basketball @BTNJourney Thanks for sharing. I admire your strength and courage. May God continue to bless you and your family.
@BigTenNetwork @MSU_Basketball @BTNJourney I cried so hard watching The Journey. I had a dad and stepdad pass from Alzheimer’s. It’s an evil and heartbreaking disease. Prayers for Malik and his family. Enjoy your time together!
@BigTenNetwork @MSU_Basketball @BTNJourney Thank you for sharing your story. I will be praying for your entire family. I only hope that Lorenzo can appreciate just a little bit the man he helped raise. Malik is a very good player but an even better human. I have affectionately called him "cuz" from day 1, I'm a Hall also.
