    Hi all,

    I'm sure we've all read articles which says Webber's been playing "on one leg" ever since his injury. I was talking to a friend the other day and he said Webber can only jump about 3 inches off the ground.

    I can't watch NBA games cause I'm from Australia, but is all this true or are they just exaggerating? Is he literally limping around with one leg? Can he not jump more than 3 inches off the ground?

    I`m not 100% sure, but now that I think of it, looking back on C-Webb`s game, he really doesn`t use him jumping ability alot and he uses his arms more.

    C-Webb can still play, but with a lot of activity his knee starts swelling, it's some kind of disease. He can still use the knee but I'm pretty sure it's just really sensitive/tender. Webber already said he would be going back to rehab this summer for next year also.

    will the rehab make his knee any better? just wondering cuz i know his knees won't completely heel up. but is there a chance to get his knees close to top form?

    Yeah, he should get better but Chris will never be the same player. There are a few players who have had a similar injury, such as Penny so you can take an example from him.
