    No, WTF. lol!

    I'll just grab a random highlight video and some amazing dunk will be in there. Whoever said that to you is an idiot on foreign b-ball.

    Yep, make sure you're not looking at his high school highlights. That injury brought down his athleticism a bit.

    Yeah I've seen both the high school and the college highlights so far.

    I don't think the knees will be an issue, since he won't get that many minutes to start from. (or at least I hope he isn't injury prone)

    Bill's knee injury last year hurt him because he ended up putting on weight during rehab

    After the season, when he could focus on working out with a trainer, he lost that weight and most reports were that he had finally returned fully from it. Then he suffered a injury just a few weeks ago, but that appears to be minor.

    I have faith that he'll be back. This was a guy in HS that was compared athletically to a young Vince Carter
