Could have been worse, guys that tall are especially susceptible to long bone cancer (almost always in the legs) and blood clotting in the legs causing heart attacks/gangrene, etc, lots of life threatening possibilities

I highly doubt it. They may have got $1.5 million last summer after getting to the WC Final, but otherwise I would bet they get a lot less.Quote:

The agent does t have a medical degree either, I'm guessing, which makes it seem more likely than not this is all publicity stunt. The Spurs are known for having an impeccable record, If not the best with foreign players and coaches. He could ruin all his agents chances of making the NBA if he was screwing the spurs over.Quote:

I highly doubt the Serbian federation shells out 18 mil to players just for participation. Maybe as a bonus for winning the tournament.
Those giant people issues, they always carry some kind of bone/heart problems.
That's the only fact that matters (and why his agent is pissed).Quote:
The Spurs medical team, in conjunction with Dr. Ferkel’s recommendation, has determined the injury compromises Marjanović's ability to play basketball without compromising long-term health and future injury.
The downside to playing him is that he might not be as effective as otherwise -- it shouldn't hurt him further.
Therefore, according to his agent, why not let him play -- if he's ineffective, they can just sit him.
You dont question the best sports organization in the world tbh. I have a problem with that.
You also said you believe a sports agent over a rather well-respected doctor.Quote:

Because Boban last game was some frendly match at June 28th, and after that he isn't play basketball for 5 weeks. Absolutely out of any physical activity. And now he can't play? Plus, on first test (by Spurs medical staff) in Milano it turned out that everything is fine.
good to hear that it's just a bone bruise and swelling.
Right. Okay, now what about his ears?Quote:

Letting him play competitive basketball seems like it would be insanity at this point.Quote:

Like basically everything, it isn't a black or white situation. There is definitively something wrong with Marjanovic foot (hence the swelling) but he could have played through it. In fact without the David Pick article and quotes from Radovic, he would have played the Eurobasket.
Spurs have Serbian NT have quite opposite interest:
- Spurs aren't concerned with how well Serbia will do this summer. Their goal is to have fully healthy players for the training camp. If there is a risk, even a slight one, that a player get an injury because of a previous issue, they won't allow it.
- Serbian NT main goal is to win games and be as good as possible for the Eurobasket. They aren't that concerned with a player developing an injury that could sidelined him with his future NBA team.
The FIBA/NBA agreement gives the upper hand to the NBA team to determine is a player is fit to play with his NT. Spurs use it at their advantage and protect their investment. And yes, it sucks for Serbian NT and their coach. They have every right to be upset.
What you are peddling are false. Are you a doctor?Quote:
