Kudos Clutch!!! Great joke.. But I suggest that you post something to clarify that it was a joke. Alot of the new posters that were not originally from the US may not understand April Fools... Who knows, some hitmen may be already on his way to pay Mr. Mutombo a little visit..
yao makes a funny face everytime he is injured....i still thin k he is the ROY even with his hilarious faces... GO MR. Ming
I think it is a great April fool article. Vey cool way to scare people. The link to false yahoo page was very good too. I came to the board before the mainsite though so I did not fall for it.
If this is a joke, all I can say is hook, line, and sinker...if it's not, all I can say is damn, damn, and damn.... either way, AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah thats a gay april fools joke. but i guess it works, cause if you believe that, you are a fool. if you actually saw the elbow, there is no way it could have broken a collar bone.
That's the thing, i couldnt see the game. I had no idea there was an elbow, until I opened cc.net today. The only thing i knew about last night was that the rockets got blown out. it was a 30pt game in the 4th quarter when i checked the score. I fell for it at first, but needed to check on other webpages for proof. And didnt find any. THen it hit me, it is April 1.
Clutch, yo da man. I remeber the one about Hakeem replaced, man were there some heated discussions in this room about it, so many of us fell for that one.
Good job Clutch on the April fools joke. But to put all you people at ease who thinks that this could or could not be a April fools joke he is not hurt he is fine and chilling at Milwaukee. Sorry Clutch for ruining your joke so early but I dont want to have this rumor getting back to scare Team Yao or his parents.
This one didn't get me at all. I loaded up the page wanting to see the April Fool's joke. Last year's Francis thing had me in utter chaos. I was telling everyone and saying how I didn't like Francis anymore. It was awesome how you got everyone in on it last year too, Clutch. BTW, next time, please don't joke about injuries like that.
yo clutch u better not joke about this sorta thing u might jinx him and it might actually happen....and i dont think you would want to be the one to blame lol
Damn that was a good one. I knew about the tradition and I still forgot about it. That rollover with the "real" yahoo site was a nice touch.
