How serious is it supposed to be??

Is he gonna miss (part of) the season??

I heard he will only be out around 8 weeks after the surgery.

However, I am willing to sacrifice mroe time as long as we can keep stacking up the wins column to make sure he is 100%.

He's no Shawn Merriman..

Like father like son. Knicks trade for Patrick Ewing Jr.

Kobe decides to not have surgery, as it would sideline him 3 months

MAMBA

Gonna be hilarious when someone (most likely THE BIG CACTUS) stomps on that shit in a game and he has to have the surgery anyways.

Shit I hope this isn't a mistake on Kobe's part

I really dont think that will hinder Kobe's performance at all. I just hope he doesnt get permanent damage down the line.

Very happy with the Jazz line up going into next year. I love how people are already giving the Blazers the division when they won't finish within 10 games of the Jazz

Thats exactly what i'm worried about, the playoffs (until the finals) and olympics proved he can still play like mamba with the damaged pinky but if something happened to worsen it...

Howard reportedly disrespects anthem in YouTube video
<hr size="1" width="100%" noshade="noshade"> ESPN.com news services

DALLAS -- A YouTube video from a charity flag football game in July has Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard embroiled in controversy yet again. The video, from Allen Iverson's event, shows Howard, as the national anthem is being sung, saying: "'The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this [expletive]. I'm black." Howard also makes a hard-to-hear reference to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama (see the video here; some viewers may find content offensive). Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said, according to The Dallas Morning News, that the team dealt with Howard at the time of the incident. He added that the team has a plan in place to address the issue at training camp. "That said, we will be going through some advanced communication skill sessions together this training camp," Cuban said Tuesday. "I have explained to him that cell phone cameras are not your friend and that what you think you said on camera is never what people will hear when it shows up on YouTube or TV." Also in July, Howard was arrested and charged with speeding (94 mph in a 55 mph zone), careless and reckless driving, and speed competition in North Carolina. He was released from jail on a written promise to appear in court Sept. 23. In that incident, police said an officer saw a black Lexus and a silver Volkswagen speeding along U.S. 421. The officer stopped the Lexus, and Howard was identified as the driver. Last year, Howard admitted he is an occasional marijuana user. And in 2006, Howard opted out of playing for the U.S. Olympic team program, reportedly because he said it conflicted with his summer training camps. Information from The Associated Press is included in this report

lol what a fucking idiot

Report flying around is that the Knickerbockers are gonna waive Stephon Marbury by week's end.

If they waive him do they get his contract off the cap? They need that 20 million to go after Lebron.

Fuck that..

My boy Peanut (Mo Williams, he was a year behind my in high school) got traded from the Bucks to the Cavs and I want to see him play with Lebron..

Sorry, but Lebron isn't staying in Clevand.

Yeah. No way in hell are we gonna go after Lebron.

Now Dwayne Wade mentioned something last week.............

lol, Sun Yue wants to be known as Q-Tip or the Monkey King

NBA is horrible at seperating the real schedule form the preseason. I cant tell when the preseason ends. Or has it even started? I see the Pacers first game is October 8th, but it doesnt say anything as to whether its a preseason game or a real regular season game. I havent heard of preseason games even happening yet. That shit is so fucking stupid.

WHEN DOES THE FUCKING SEASON START? WHAT THE FUCK! FUCK IT. I"M NOT WATCHING NBA THIS YEAR. IF I GO TO 7 DIFFERENT FUCKING SITES AND NON OF THEM CAN TELL ME WHATS A PRESEASON GAME AND WHATS A REGULAR SEASON GAME, THEN THERE IS A FUCKING PROBLEM. THIS DONT FUCKING HAPPEN IN THE NFL. WE ALWAYS NO WHEN THE REAL SEASON KICKS OFF>

WHAT A DUMB PEICE OF SHIT SPORT THIS IS>

October 8th is a preseason game.

NBA season usually doesnt start until last week or so of October.

Beware of what? a bunch of soft, whiny complaining flopper rapists?

Nope. Bynum's massive fucking muscles.

... Really, Wadding? Snaq Attaq? Give me a fucking break. It's comical for you to think that the Suns can actually win the Pacific.

Shaq wants to know how many rings Kobe has won on his own...

... Kobe had Kwame. Shaq had D-Wade. Don't be retarded.
