    This cracked me up. Thank you.

    Also, I originally voted "no" on this poll. I would probably change my vote now. But then, it might change more times during the season. :cool:

    I'm optimistic about Anderson thriving in MDA's all out assault on offense.

    I see your point - he may be right-leaning and this malady could affect his ability to go left.

    I am not sure if we can compare using percentages because the salary is bases on the current market. Supply and demand is what dictates the price of any product.

    facial asymmetry progressed..look at the right cheek/mouth lately versus as a rookie. That just means he already had issues before entering the NBA and it's getting worse. It likely really started progressing significantly after his neck issue, followed by his knee sprain and hernia, all in NO, which is when the facial asymmetry started to look worse.

    Nolan Ryan is a pitcher...pitchers are highly unilateral athletes and basically stand a on the mound 95% of the time. So having such a dominant side isn't going to affect him the same way it would affect an athlete that's constantly running up and down the court and needs to make right and left movements.



    i wish i was trying to be funny...

    I believe BP sometimes doesn't have a specific cause, it's just seen as a nerve/muscle issue in the face...so it could be that and also what i said, since issues with movement can "travel" throughout the body and affect other areas/muscles/nerves.. And even if it's true BP and was genetic or something, it could still affect his movement by traveling down to the rest of his body...the body is too interconnected for a muscular issue to happen and not have an effect elsewhere.


    His right shoulder (our left) looks lower in 7 of the 9 pics. I don't think it's a coincidence since the pictures are a year apart over several years.

    It was just a guess someone made, no conclusion...

    We already knew both RA and EG came with risks bc of their injury history, but we had to make moves, so now we have to roll with them regardless..

    I have the same crooked smile, caused by my jaw bone not moving properly. No way to tell in these pics that its "gotten worse"

    Well, since you are online 'doctors', I"m going to throw out there that D'Antoni has alapecia on his upper lip.
    There is no more hair there. You may want to look into that

    And let's not forget that thing growing on Montrezl's head. It may need some attention ;)

    You don't have to be a doctor to spot what i saw. Any experienced trainer should be able to spot, and look for, such asymmetries. I know enough about the subject to comment on it. The Bell's Palsy comment was just a quick guess someone made, not that serious of a response to think he was being an "online doctor"..

    You may think it's a joke now, but if RA starts having any issues not from direct contact, you'll probably be one of the people asking what's going on with him..


    Maybe...it could just be the smiling "wrinkle" settling in over the years, so it's more pronounced. Is there a reason why your bone doesn't move properly? Or is it congenital?

    this is a little ridiculous honestly lol. We all know the had had a neck injury before. his half smile has nothing to do with that haha. his face is about as asymmetrical as any normal human being.

    I think you might be trolling.

    I've half smiled in a photo before.

    I'm going to check web-MD and figure out what this means.

    I'm not a doctor, but I DID play one in a High School play once.
    And I've noticed Patrick Beverly is looking pretty thin these days.
    MY online analysis would dictate that he has tapeworms or HIV
    Someone should keep an eye on that

    I could see it being the HIV. I have heard about certain players being spotted at notorious Midtown bathhouses quite often. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
