    Ernie Johnson just said on NBATV that he talked to Kevin McHale today and he said there have been signs of improvement with his daughter, but she is still in the hospital.

    EJ appeared very emotional

    This has got to be the most moronic comment I've ever heard on this board. And with years of lurking added on top of membership years, that's saying alot because I've read lots of imbecile comments.

    You take the cake at stupidity. Gratz.

    has it been reported at all what the nature of the illness is? mchale should definitely be there as long as he needs to be, but i wonder if he'll essentially miss the entire remainder of the season now (or even longer)

    You must really be a Rockets fan to join the forum here when you were only 7 years old.

    Once you get in your teen years you will figure out what a stupid comment that was that you made.

    Glad to hear there has been some improvement.

    I know how hard it can be.In April My 20 yr old daughter was in a wreck and had to be life flighted.(has since recovered)It's very emotional and becomes the only thing that matters to you in life.As a father your main focus is protecting your children.It can be tough emotionally when you have no control and feel kind of helpless.All you can do sometimes is put it into the hands of the doctors and be there to hold their hand.

    Glad to hear your daughter is ok. I would think that any father would more than understand why Kevin Mchale put his daughter first.

    Glad your daughter recovered. Obviously you, unlike Smoothie, understand
    that you're never too old to be "Daddy's little girl"

    My thoughts & prayers continue to go out to Kevin & his family.

    Great to hear your daughter is healthy. My prayers go out to McHale's family. His daughter's health is so much more important than basketball.

    Youngsters never understand that you live for your children. It is a lesson only parenthood can convey.

    Did your mother smoke crack while she was pregnant with you? Seriously, who can be dumb enough to say what you said?

    I would probably classify as a "youngster" LOL. Although being a parent does give you a certain greater appreciation for what he is going through. I don't think you need to be a parent to understand how important family is you just have to have common sense lol.

    Let me re-phrase that please. I have a daughter who is probably close to Kevin McHale's daughter's age. LOL

    LOL. Yes this makes a lot more sense. How old is your daughter if you don't mind me asking?
