<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dave D.)</div><div class='quotemain'>Here's something we all lost sight of somewhere along the way: RJ has chronic asthma, first diagnosed at age 8. You wonder how anyone can play basketball, especially when the attacks become common in cold weather, during periods of stress, and exertion -- all of which he is very familiar with these days. Anyway, Tim Walsh handed him an inhaler - one of those circular, purple contraptions -- before the Detroit game, and he took a few deep breaths. Then he went out and shot 5-for-11 and turned it over seven times. Cause-effect? Well, put it this way: He usually tears up Tayshaun Prince pretty good. Jefferson never brings this up, of course, even though there have been nights when he's working on 50-percent lung capacity. That didn't stop this guy from bringing it up, though: "The game against Detroit his asthma was really bad," L-Frank said this morning. "He couldn't even catch his breath. That was kind of a fluke."</div> Wow. Didn't know that. That might be why he sort of sucked vs. Detroit. Believe me, asthma sucks. Twenty-four - Dave D'Alessandro - Nets Blast
I wasn't aware of this either. How often does he have this problem, because I don't remember it ever being reported.

This must also be why he turns over the ball so damn much in the 4th. ...But anyway yea asthma sucks.

He didn't bring it up, Frank did... And...have you guys ever heard of asthma? It means that it can be hard to breath at times. Which means it can be difficult to concentrate. I have asthma, and when it's affecting me, I find it hard to breath...and sometimes, it's really hard to concentrate. Sometimes I lose awareness of where people are on the court...which results in a turnover. I'm not sure how bad it is for RJ, or how much it affects him, but after seeing the Detroit game vs. the Washington game...I dunno, something doesn't seem right there.
