If enduring the same circumstances, how willing would "you" be to go through yet another 12-18 months of rehab following surgery? Kid just may be toast.
The universe is trying to tell us something. Let's just let Seattle have our team and all become Timber's fans* *at which point all the Timbers players die tragically
I'd do it. I'd keep trying for one reason and I think you would too: Millions of dollars. If he gives up and retires, that's it. No more money. Off to dental school? But if he fights through all these surgeries, there will be someone who will give him some money to play basketball. He's young. He could still make 10-20 million dollars. That's a lot of money.
the human mind is much more resilient than we give ourselves credit for, if anything the last few years have prepared him for this moment. must be destiny. in Cho I trust.
He embraces the absurd. His withdrawn behavior isn't of depression or sadness but of angst and ultimately, an indifference...the kind of indifferent killer instinct Jordan, Lebron, Shaq, and Kobe all have.
Why does everybody feel bad for Oden??? The guy is set for the rest of his life for doing absolutly nothing in the NBA
If you were disappointing the FUCK out of millions of people, you'd be pretty down in the dumps too. Went from hundreds of millions of dollars and worldwide fame to an asterisk or a joke at a cocktail party.
I LOVE playing basketball and the sad part for me is that I have the body of a football player but the basketball skills of a Sabonis. I could shoot and pass and rebound like a mother@$#%. I don't even know what would happen if you didn't have the surgery but I would want to skip it and play, or stay off of the knee until the playoffs and play in the playoffs and have surgery after we won the title. Then again I put staples in my arm for fun. I rip hangnails out of my hands SLOWLY just to feel the pain. I watch Rachel Maddow's television show with the sound on. I think perhaps I may be one of those people who get's a jolly out of being hit. Come on Lois hit me, beat the crap out of me, STEP ON MY CUBES.
He would make a GREAT Bond villain. Hook him up with an agent. The sad part is that he walks like another Bond Villain.
Word. It's all you can do. I've supported him this damn far, aint about to give up now. I feel the Blazers will do the same.
