I hope he's ok. It's no wonder Vince said last night to him, "you're not playing with enough heart kid" ok, please forget I ever said that. my fingers are crossed that everything's ok, and it's good that he's getting this checked out. if it's a problem, I hope they catch it early on.
If only JBF was a doctor, and not a lawyer; if only... Although if JBF was as good a doctor as he was a lawyer, Boone would walk in for a check up and walk out with herpes.
Do you know something? I'm trying to remember if Boone complained before about migraines. Seems like he did. I'm always worried when "heart" and "basketball player" are linked. It rarely ends well. But I'm grateful this was caught before something truly tragic transpired. Be well, Josh.
Eddie Curry had heart problems, could not get insurance, and Paxson offered him $400K/year for life (basically) to retire. Instead, he's gone on to play for the Knicks without any complications that I've heard about. The guy's fat and doesn't work hard and all that, but no heart problems. Here's hoping there's nothing to Boone's problem beyond being dehydrated.
Thanks for the confirmation. I thought he had had them. I don't feel like making another thread to talk about Swift, but the news about him today was not pretty either. If his fall was bad enough that it "cast a pall" over the entire practice, it must have been bad. I didn't think he was going to play much, so it doesn't hurt from that perspective. But I feel bad for him . . . and for the Nets, who now have no chance of trading him until he comes back from this injury. Dumpy, we're already over your quota of "two of them will always be injured". So we don't have room for anyone to just suck.
Hopefully they'll both be ok. There are no other serious injuries, though, although it is time that Hayes and Najera started to play.
