Nice article...lot of props to the Suns medical staff.

amare was more the exception to the rule than anything else. i hope oden can recover well, but one shouldn't anticipate him being able to come back as stronly as amare has. what amare did was somewhat unprecedented.

Amare is a freak of nature.

Amare also could have gotten onto the court sooner and even played in the playoffs that season if he wasn't so lazy with his rehab. Testament to what freakish capabilities his body has and also what freakish stupidity his brain has.

[JamStone]

Actually, Oden should emulate the Wolverine.

You truly are an idiot. :rolleyes Do you have any idea how long it takes to come back from microfracture surgery??? Usually 24 months, so I would say he was ahead of schedule.

[baseline bum]

I hope Amare's able to get back to where he was in 04-05. He's the main success story with microfracture surgery, and he's still at only 85-90% of his pre-injury form two years later.

[bdictjames]

Amare 2 years from now? Yes. Amare today? Nope. Dont want to miss any Game 5s.

Amare is a freak of nature.

While not at Amare's level of freakatude (very few are), Oden is an absolutely ridiculous athlete. Wasn't he the second fastest guy at the combine?

[SpursDynasty]

Oden emulating Amare....

By being 0-3 in playoff series' vs. the Spurs.

Sounds like a likely scenario.

I'm just relaying what a JOURNALIST WHO FOLLOWED THE TEAM THE ENTIRE FUCKING SEASON reported.

[Shred]

I had no idea so many orthopedic surgeons posted on these boards.

I doubt youve even read 7 seconds or less....am I right?

I own the book. Did you read the entire thing or did you just skip all the critical stuff and instead went to all the Nash suck-fest chapters?

I own the book, read the whole thing, ejaculated into it, fed it to my dogs, and then bought another copy.

[RonMexico]

One thing Oden does not have at his disposal upon his return: Steve Nash to feed him the ball and make the transition more comfortable. He also needs to get a "Black Jesus" tattoo.

[RonMexico]

And for those of you that read the article, I also have some of that "duckwalk" they talk about and my knees and lower back kind of ache.

I wonder how much it would cost to the the Suns' trainers to help me rehab for a year...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

ejaculated into it, fed it to my dogs, .
?

[RonMexico]

?

Love the Suns, so I masturbated while reading the book at the glory that was inside.

Then because I fight dogs, I fed the book to them.

[leemajors]

hopefully the blazer's med staff learned from the suns and isn't stupid enough to let him on the court next year at all.

[~~Ice Man 2000~~]

Maybe amere isn't the exception of the rule guys. Recently people have really been boucing back with Zach, Kidd, and Amare. Maybe the days of the microfracture surgury being a death sentence are over with better treatment.

[MicrofractureDynasty]

Amare is a fluke

[Samr]

I think Oden will recover from micro fracture, but it scares me that he might be injury prone over the course of his career. It's not the current situation, it's the implications of it. That being said, it is very, very difficult to fully return to your former self after surgery. Amare isn't fully recovered and I think it's a bit unfair to keep saying he's "XX percent normal." I mean, is it really unreasonable to assume he'll never return to 100%? If you damaged something serious enough that it required an invasive procedure to correct it, there are going to be some lasting ramifications (at least to an extent) from that. I think we'll never see Oden reach his true potential now. He may get close to it, yeah, but it would be hard to argue he has as high a ceiling now as he did two weeks ago. And when he plays again, I'm not saying he won't be great -- he will, just as long as he manages to stay on the court.
