Why Barbosa (Bobo) missed the Spurs game

Fellows, feel his pain..

Doctors initially feared Barbosa had suffered a testicular torsion, a twisting of the testicle that results in a loss of blood flow. That would have meant an immediate surgery and a recovery time of four to six weeks. But hours later, doctors revised the diagnosis to an infection that could be treated by oral antibiotics and likely shorten recovery time to a week or less.

OUCH. How do you explain that injury to your friends?

Looks like he enjoyed Car-nee-val too much...

[Horry For 3!]

That has to suck

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

My balls hurt just reading that.

Barbosa is not called Bobo! It's the other nickname of 3D aka Boris DIAW MIP 2006!

[Useruser666]

A Sun's player has balls? That's the real news.

Or....

Maybe he came down with a case of the playoffs?

Sore balls? Sounds like it's spreading in Phoenix.

No Sun's player should have a ball that Nash didn't pass to them.

My nuts hurt.

[JamStone]

I think it wasn't so much a case of testicular torsion as it was his pussy was hurt having to play the Spurs.

[cheguevara]

the doctor was gonna diagnose testicular torsion, but changed his mind when he found out that like all the rest of the Suns, Barbossa has a vagina

Well, Bobo is my name for Barbosa from a few years ago when he looked like Bobo the clown on the court. And, seeing as how Bobo has been on the team longer I'm going to play the senority card :drunk

Diaw's nickname here is 3D... since he's always one reb/asst short of a triple double.. Though that doesn't make sense; maybe it should be 3D minus a few.

[Sportman]

Excuse me, but somebody could tell me why you call barbaso "bobo", is this something relation to what he told about manu when barbosa hurt his anklee??? :oops :rolleyes

French Boris is Bobo, as US's brother is bubba. baby-talk nick-names.

"baby talk" names in France are often just the first syllable of the first name repeated.
Gerard would Geegee, Laurence (Tony's ex-friend) would be LoLo, etc.

[SilverPlayer]

John Starks had the torsion thing happen to him if I remember correctly....They had to remove one of his testicles.

[Sportman]

ohh i see

[MoSpur]

John Starks had the torsion thing happen to him if I remember correctly....They had to remove one of his testicles.

Liar. There is no way that info could have gotten out.

[SilverPlayer]

Don't call me a liar...unless you do a google search first yah jerk.


Starks has twisted testicle removed
Associated Press

John Starks
Starks

SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Jazz guard John Starks missed Friday's practice and won't make the trip to Dallas for Game 3 of their playoff series with the Mavericks.

Starks, 35, is recovering from surgery to remove a twisted testicle. Until Friday morning he had been listed as questionable for Saturday's game.

It was the second straight day that the Jazz had said Starks was expected to attend practice. In both cases, the team said Starks needed more time to recover from Tuesday's procedure.ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2001/2001/0423/1184757.html)

OUCH. How do you explain that injury to your friends?

Someone played bop it, twist it, pull it with my balls and decided to "twist it" last.

Bills right. A lot of us refer to Barbosa as Bobo and Diaw as 3D.

Suns announcers refer to Diaw as 3D as well.

[boutons_]

One of our announcers, Dickie Stockton I think, calls Manu Mono :lol

[yeahone]

ouch

[Borosai]

This is just nuts.

[milkyway21]

this is the same player drafted by the Spurs but traded immediately to the Suns. Have shown potential that he's got something to prove he belongs to the NBA and can help his team.

Get well soon.

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Whats really crazy is that I think I suffered this injury last night playing ball and my left nut hurts so fucking bad right now...help.

[SilverPlayer]

It gets really serious fast...if they catch it soon enough you can get in untwisted, but if it still hurts go to the Doc...or call your doctor's office they always have a doc on call...that's what they are there for.

Background: Testicular torsion is a urologic emergency and must be differentiated from other complaints of testicular pain because a delay in diagnosis can lead to loss of the testicle. In adolescent males, testicular torsion is the most frequent cause of testicle loss.

Pathophysiology: The typical testicle is covered by the tunica vaginalis, which attaches to the posterolateral surface of the testicle and allows for little mobility.

In patients who have an inappropriately high attachment of the tunica vaginalis (ie, bell clapper deformity), the testicle can rotate freely on the spermatic cord within the tunica vaginalis (intravaginal testicular torsion). This congenital anomaly is present in approximately 12% of males, 40% of which have the abnormality in the contralateral testicle as well. The bell clapper deformity allows the testicle to twist spontaneously on the spermatic cord, causing venous occlusion and engorgement, with subsequent arterial ischemia causing infarction of the testicle. Experimental evidence indicates that 720° torsion is required to compromise flow through the testicular artery and result in ischemia.

In the neonatal age group, the testicle frequently has not yet descended into the scrotum and becomes attached within the tunica vaginalis. Additionally, this mobility of the testicle predisposes it to torsion (extravaginal testicular torsion).

Frequency:

* In the US: Incidence of torsion in males younger than 25 years is approximately 1 in 4000. Torsion more often involves the left testicle.

Mortality/Morbidity: This urologic emergency requires prompt diagnosis, immediate urologic referral, and rapid definitive treatment for salvage of the testicle.

* A salvage rate of 80-100% is found in patients who present within 6 hours of pain.

* After 6-8 hours, the salvage rate markedly decreases, and it is near 0% at 12 hours.Emedicine (http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic573.htm)

[T.F. Storm]

My God, that sounds painful. It hurts just to think about it.

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Thats really not good cus its been about 16 hours...

[SilverPlayer]

Seriously call your doctors office...they always havean option for an "emergency"....people use this option all the time...My dad used to get a call everyday he was on call from the same woman talking about her latest BM. It's not a big deal to call them and they can almost always tell you what its not over the phone. It's free to call them and they will help admit you to a hospital if its anything serious.
