Manny, Here's a blurb from the National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institutes regarding the treatment for narcolepsy: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/sleep/narcolep.tx Since Narcolepsy can't be cured, is Norris still on medications today? Is he also taking short naps? Somehow, that doesn't seem consistent with Moochie's quotes in the Houston Chronicle: 04/07/00 - By JONATHAN FEIGEN <b>"I still don't understand how it came to that," said Norris, 26. "I know it was bad, but it was just me being nervous there playing with a playoff-, championship-quality team. When I didn't perform well, I couldn't get sleep . I just wanted to get help. People said I played well, but I just wasn't satisfied. I thought I could have brought more to the table. "I went to get help for it in Seattle. I didn't get the help. Keith Smart, my coach in the CBA, said just start reading the Bible more. And I started hearing that from more and more people. Just read the Bible and relax your mind. They were right."</b> or 2/09/00 - By JONATHAN FEIGEN <b>Norris had such extreme insomnia problems last season, it landed him a stay on the injured list. "It was just me being a little nervous being up in Seattle, one of the top teams in the league," Norris said. "I don't have any problem with that anymore. I sleep like everybody else now." Norris was a second-round pick out of West Florida in 1996 who also played at Auburn and Odessa Junior College, said he is especially unconcerned about a recurrence of the problem because he is friends with so many Rockets players. In addition to Francis and Walt Williams, who are also from the Washington, D.C., area, Norris also knows Shandon Anderson, Pig Miller, Devin Gray and Kelvin Cato from summers spent in Atlanta.</b> I don't believe reading the Bible is the treatment that is usually perscribed for Narcoleptics. Look at Wally Walker's quote when the Sonic's released Norris: <b>Norris "was a great story," General Manager Wally Walker said. "It was a tough call. We told him, `We wish you well, we'll stay in touch. You never know.' He made a very favorable impression." </b> Does a guy that's "indifferent to the game/difficult to coach" make a very favorable impression? Seattle knew that Moochie was having problems sleeping, so why would they jump to the conclusion that he was indifferent to the game or difficult to coach? Don't you think that they would have attributed any attention problem that he had with his lack of sleep
I can't get NOOO SLEEEEEP!!! Instead of sheep , it is Steve Francis throwing down monster dunks all-night long.. THE HOUSTON ROCKETS RULE the N.B.A. in 2001-2002..
this all reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld where kramer and jerry agree to switch apartments because of the annoying Kenny Rogers' Roasters sign outside of Kramer's window. "i'm on no sleep...NO sleep!....oh..i'm stressed." "my rods are cones are all screwed up, jerry!" but at least now i know what to do what i get sick. go to the doctor?? hell, no!! you guys will diagnose my ailments right here on BBS!!
