    I kid with scoliosis...a sad story...

    A star nba player who can get the worlds best treatment, and not have to pay for it himself...not such a sad story...

    This is the equivalent to magic johnson having hiv...

    Yeah it's sad...until you realize that he's going to live longer than you...
    I'm not a tmac lover. Not in the least. But that's such an odd, odd statement. And how do you know anyone is going to live longer than you?

      The point i was trying to get across here is that i can only feel so bad for a man that has a condition that probably doesn't cripple him nearly as bad as it does other people who suffer from scoliosis. I use to follow the rockets quite frequently and there was about a 2 month span where Mac was getting treatment for his back by some of the best doctors in the world, and the rockets were footing the bill. It's like being in the best possible bad situation...if that makes sense.

      I figured the magic johnson thing was self explanatory. Dude has had HIV for what, over 10 years now? Most people get full blown AIDS after 2 - 5 years, but last time i checked, Magic's infected blood cell count was so low he barely qualified as having HIV. So here is a guy who has terminal illness, got that terminal illness through sexual encounters with women while he was married, but in all likely hood, will live longer than the average person who does not have aids due to the amount of money he has, which allows him to get around the clock care and the best medicne money can buy.

          LOL, how is a degenerative spinal condition someone is born with compare to someone sleeping around and contracts a virus?

          Whether he plays in the NBA or not, he'd had to see a doctor. For the most part he doesn't see a specialist every day and he gets treatment in Texas where he lives, which he just found last year.

          What the heck is your deal. The point is this dude has been playing on a crippled spine all of this time, and none of us never even knew.

            Exactly. Took the words right from me.

            Now maybe people will stop dissing Mac for his back problems.

              Jerk-fully put; but I understand with what you are saying. Don't worry I won't jump on you like everyone else did. You make perfect sense (not being sarcastic)

              But it is still a messed up situation if ANY human has ANY type of disease. Rich or not

                How funny this is. All these people saying "oh poor mac i had no idea blah blah blah..." are the same people who use to say "he is an energy prone bum and should be traded...blah blah blah"

                  I don't know if you were referring to me, but I know for one that I have never said that before.

                    LOL it's funny how the people who DONT have the condition always have something like that to say...they dont feel the pain, or personally know the effects of the condition..but assume its no big deal b\c the person who has it is rich?

                    I wish somebody would downplay my condition b\c of the level of treatment I have....I had two detatched retinas just like that football player who got the flag thrown in his eye did....I can NEVER play football again, he can....think im bitter? naw man, id never discredit what he went through b\c the dude has money... thats just dumb man....

                        What I don't get is comparing a disease you're born with like scoliosis

                        To a virus you practically bring upon yourself like HIV in Magic's case

                        ... and try to round it up into the same ball.

                          Is this new news on his condition or was this known by everyone in the league since he started or when signed the big contract with Rockets.

                            This was pretty much unknown news to the public. We knew he had back spasms, muscular issues, but we didn't know it all stemmed from him having a spinal disease from birth.

                              That's really strange that we're all just figuring this out now.. he's been in the league for 10 years. Crazy

                                Well at this point i dont feel sorry for him.

                                This is almost just like the Eddy Curry case...except that we DIDNT KNOW about it before he signed the big contract. Hopefully the Rockets can get a decent prospect out of a draft to replace Tracy before his contract is up. Plus i also haven't liked all his comments over the years of not wanting to be "leader" even though he is the "star player".

                                Atleast he didnt completely drain a franchise like Alan Houston.
