So anyway ... my bad on the sarcasm about Oden's ankle being season ending and then career threatening ... Get well soon big fella, I'm a douche.
There's no way he gives up. I don't mean this in a bad way at all, but his future financial security, for his entire life, can hinge on the next contract he signs. As long as he comes back and looks to be able to move ok, it's going to mean a whole lot to him and everyone around him financially.
haha...guy calls into Courtside to talk about how he injured his kneecap and shattered it, and feels for Greg. Jay Allen: "So how long did it take you to come back after rehab?" Caller: "I didn't. I'm handicapped." Jay: "Oh....... well, actually we don't know if Greg shattered his kneecap completely....."
He's going to just hang it up, everyone knows it's going to happen. He wants to be a dentist, and he has the money and time to finish up his real dream in life. I know that I would just say fuck it, it's too much pressure to have to come back from another season ending injury. God speed Greg, I hope everything works out in the end!!
_______insert personal insult here. Oh and go ____ yourself. And uh go suck David Stern's ____. You ____ Laker's fan who has everything handed to him on a silver fucking platter.
A very sad moment. It was so hard to see that man lying there pounding the floor with his fist, grimmacing in pain. I knew it was bad when his teammates rushed to his side. In pro sports that usually doesn't happen unless there something very serious happening. What a season we're having.... Batum Outlaw Pendergraph Mills Fernandez Outlaw Oden all injured....and on top of that the coach gets hurt practicing with the team and will require surgery and miss a four game road trip. Then you have Paul Allen and Maurice Lucas both sick with cancer. What kind of karma is that?

Hope (Grant Hill): The Duke star's notorious string of ankle injuries began when he played through pain in the 2000 playoffs. Bad idea. That same bum ankle made his time in Orlando a complete failure (he played in only 47 games in four years), and in March 2003 doctors had to re-fracture it to realign it with his leg bone. (Five days after the surgery, he came down with a 104.5-degree fever and a potentially fatal infection.) But since he signed on with the Suns (and their legendary training staff) it's been smooth sailing. Well, for what Hill's used to, anyway. So far he's only had one hernia surgery
Bill Simmons Twitter - @injuryexpert - We need u. How bad is fractured patella tendon career-wise? Also, this was left knee, he had microfracture on right. Fluke? @sportsguy33 Its not bad career wise. Dumb luck injury and fx heal. Not related in any way to microfx. Just bad luck. So overall he'll just miss time but it sounds like he can make a 100% recovery. Injuryexpert is Will Carroll is you are wondering, who is what his twitter name says.
My god why us? I litterly have tears running down my face thinking about this. #1 pick, once in a generation player - reduced to this. There will never be a healthy season for Greg in Portland, it's just time to move on. Of course you can't really trade him now can you? If I could, I would in a heartbeat.
Who was it that ran over from the houston bench almost immediately? And I think they ended up staying there through the injury.
How could Kevin Pritchard possibly have known this would happen? Unless he was superstitious and believed that history was doomed to repeat itself.
