    stop making it sound like I'm complaining about his absence.
    my first post
    I really dont give a **** whether he showed up to camp and media day or not.
    then i responded to
    by saying
    the context was "so fans cant expect more out of him since he was paid millions a year?"

    I hope Royce gets the treatment he needs and can hopefully defeat this illness. Imagine him helping a team to big playoff game and then he disappears hours before the game starts. This needs to be addressed or things can get ugly for him.

    have you / your family or friends ever taken time off work for being sick or family member died ?

    if your son/wife died and your boss rang up 1 day after telling you get to work i pay you lots of money is that okay ?

    if your wife has mental breakdown do you tell he to go to work ?

    It doesn't work like that though. You can't just address it and then it go away forever. It could be the travel, or he could just be having an increase in attacks. People go through periods where they come in bunches and periods where they are fine.

    this is what i said "I'm just saying everybody has problems and he needs to step up and be accountable...sooner or later its going to get played out...Gary Forbes has Diabetes but he is at camp and dealing with his sickness....One of my customers had cancer and she beat it....its all mental either you are going to stand up or whimper out end of story" i guess you could not comprehend that what i said but i stated that its not mental but having mental strength is a big part of beating anything in life that gets you down....If Jordan didnt have the mental strength and believed the naysayers that he was not good enough and just gave up on his dream...No Jordan Brand!I never said its all mental but its apart of being determined

    Media day is not a big deal. It would be a concern if he missed any training days.

    So if everythings mental then why are you not in the NBA?

    why are you not a billionaire ?

    Why is Jordan a crap owner/GM if his so mentally strong?

    Why are NFL players killing themselves ?

    Probably not on the first day :rolleyes:

    He signed up for this by entering the draft.He needs to either get his ass to camp or become a footnote in Rockets history.He has pretty much become the poster child for athletes with anxiety issues,if he can't pull this off,well just say good luck to anyone with disorders being drafted in the future......... and yes I have experience both with myself and others I've known.. You just have to go through with whatever is causing the anxiety,it's usually the worst leading up to it,but not so bad as you imagined .. The other choice is to sit around and do nothing.That should never be the way ...someone find this man a new doctor !

    1) Cause I stop playing in seventh grade to focus on baseball

    2) Everybody isnt meant to be millionaire and billionaire but not trying brag but i live ok and I'm happy and content with what I have

    3) Jordan is the Jerry Jones of basketball and i have no answer to that question

    4) another question i do not have an answer to...maybe they gave up hope

    Guys no need to over react. If Royce can't play we still have 7 more forwards on the roster. In Morey we trust and all that.
