What a fresh new topic!
And for those questioning and whining about Dirk having the knee surgery, let's try this again:
* Knee gave him trouble last season, which was publicized. The medical staff treated it, and it went away for the most part, which enabled him to play out the season. No reason to have surgery on a body part that isn't bothering him.
* Knee was fine until training camp/preseason. Medical staff tries out methods to try to heal it so surgery won't be required. At 34 and all those years playing, who knows how he'd respond to it?
* Knee doesn't want to heal-surgery is last resort and he goes under the knife.
Folks, he didn't suddenly decide to have surgery simply to upset you. The timing was bad, but the medical staff wanted to try out other options.
And before anyone says.."but,but, what about the blood/shit transfusion Kobe got for his knee?" Well, maybe Kobe's knee and Dirk's knee had different problems and therefore required different remedies.
