    Great. As long as a medical board is making the decision I'm good with it.

    If the NIH (for example) hasn't approved it as a therapy then it wouldn't be "illegal" necessarily. It would not be an approved treatment.

    Maybe just a miscommunication.

    *Edited to better explain my position*

    PRP costs ~$600 vs $6000 iirc. Despite 20+ years of approval in the US PRP isn't covered by insurance because of lack of "evidence." Well my evidence is it's the only treatment to get my knees back on the soccer pitch and basketball court. Wish I could afford the cells.

    I read CJ has just purchased a 318 acre vineyard for his wine franchise in Oregon. First NBA player ever to own a vineyard according to the article. Good to see former friends investing in Oregon again. ( This is an old article, I double checked and it is 2021)

    I had to chuckle watching Dame shoot those 3's on one foot. Not a problem whatsoever.

    He's partners with another vineyard. His vineyard is still being groomed. It takes a number of years for the vineyard to actually produce grapes that can make quality wine. But yes he has been up and running for a few years now.

    Good to see Kaman back in Portland every summer for Dame's camp. They seem to be really close friends.
