    Yes for some reason the Sun's training staff is almost miraculous with helping people recover from injuries. I think they could help him out.

    Kobe needs to hook the poor guy up with that doctor in Germany's number or something.

    I can't seem to repeat this enough...His legs are UNEVEN. He's damaged goods. The Suns staff isn't going to stretch his leg for him. His only options are to keep risking injury or orthotics, which he already wore, and aren't much of a solution because it's significant amount and it's coming from the top end at the hip, not the bottom, which makes it worse. Unless there's some kind of radical procedure out there, he'll have to just pray a lot.

    Burned a number one overall pick on a big man with one leg shorter than the other? I don't feel sorry for the Blazers at all. That was a stupid move.

    I can't handle another situation like this. It would suck if we got oden, he went on a tear, and got hurt. No thanks

    Maybe in place of Thabeet? Replace one bust with a better bust. ;)

    3 micro fracture surgery, r u kidding me!! its already hard recovering from one.....can safely bet his NBA career is over....damn....i can really feel for Blazers fans, considering how well Durant is playing now and what happened in '84 draft Sam Bowie pick and Roy career ending injury it seems they are cursed. It makes Yao career ending injury a walk in the park, at least Yao gave us a few good years which we can cherish

    My uncle had this surgery. It is incredibly painful and takes at least a year to heal up.

    I don't know how he would be athletically afterward, though.

    If I'm a gm, I'd steer clear of players that appear to have hyperpituitarism or a growth hormone secreting tumor.. Oden's jaw line and face look like he has it, and one thing we learned from Yao is that their bodies are much too big and angular to be supported by the thin legs..

    Yao has massive legs. When he first came into the league people would talk/write about how thick his legs were when they saw him in person. His problem was overtraining and putting on to much weight on top when he has a naturally thin upperbody.

    Really? I always thought his problem was he didn't have enough time to heal fully. If you remember, the first 2 injuries he had were freak accidents, he should have sat the summer out and rehabbed properly instead China came calling :rolleyes:

    I thought the problem was that the center was made in China and wasn't built to last 5 years.
