Ugh. I haven't seen that clip, but the same thing happened to a teammate of mine freshman year of high school. We were doing a 3-on-3 drill, and as I looked back to my helpside defender to let him know I had the ball (defensively speaking), he was on the ground, and if you can imagine it (you might not want to), his kneecap 'bulge' was to the outside part of his knee. Absolutely disgusting...

the replay was pretty rough. his knee bent 90 degrees sideways and outward. i've never saw anything like it

espnews just showed a highlight of shaun livingston (LAC) dislocating his kneecap. it was possibly the most gruesome thing i've ever seen

Ouch. Well once I saw someone do that, and then try to whack the kneecap back in place, now that's gruesome.

 

He hasn't had the best year though Livingstone, and I think many people were predicting a breakout year for him.

 

Just another example of coming out too early in the NBA.

Nice to see Darko pick it up tonight, and we finally come through with a W.

 

For anyone that actually watched the game, how did he look?

 

And Dwight with 11 TO's, picking up a triple double the bad way.

Darko? He looked like he wasn't getting boxed out at all the whole night :lol: but in all seriousness, he's very quick and has extremely long arms. I still love the future of Howard, Darko, and Ariza. As for the Bulls...what a joke. It's been a long time since I've seen them lose 49-31 on the glass, and to lose at home to a team that had lost 15 of 19 and said team had 26 turnovers can't happen. Gordon and Deng were the only 2 Bulls that showed up (and i'm not exaggerating, look at the box score).

In HS I watched a guy pole vaulting have his poll swing sideways and him land arm first on the runway. His elbow was destroyed, and his arm swoll up to the size of a watermelon. I could hardly keep my lunch down.

Darko looked good, but we just dont have the size to box out two monsters. He forced a few shots he shouldnt have. Jameer Nelson is the only thing that keeps me from really liking the Magic, the guy is a whiner and did nothing but try and draws fouls for the last 5 min.

Thats how I felt watching Butch from Wisco this sunday.

I'm mixed on this, if it's true.

 

I'd love it, because it'd be cool to see my favorite player back in the league, even if it's only for a few months. I also like the Mavs. They're probably my favorite team in the Western Conference, and I like Mark Cuban.

 

However, it'd be weird to not see him on the Pacers, but there's no reason at all for him to play for the Pacers, if he were to return. Also, this would kill one of his best quotes, because he'd be doing the same. He burned Gary Payton and Karl Malone for forgoing loyalty and biting on the Lakers to try and get a ring.

On Nelson I'm startin to think we really we need a bigger point guard in there.

 

He's not good defensively Jameer, and in the long - term that's something we need to look at.

Have you seen Joe Theisman's career ending leg injury? Much, much worse. I still can barely watch that clip to this day. Hell, even Willie McGahee's torn ACL was much brutal to watch.

Having Darko and Dwight in the low post is causing alot of match up problems for any team. Add in a point guard who can drive and dish and cause another match up problem can move them up in the East big time. I like what the Bulls were doing to Howard though.

Robin's ankle, Willis M's knee, whats his name' on the Broncos leg injury, Butch's arm injury, man there are alot of them i can think of that just make me sick like Livingston's.

It's almost a GIVEN that Vince Carter will be playing for Orlando next season, unless he goes to Charlotte instead.

 

What I'd like to do is package Nelson and Hedo and try to get that big PG we need. He doesn't have to be a good scorer, but he needs to play good D and be able to distribute the ball. Unfortunaely there's not many of those around. Oh god how I would love to have Deron Williams (don't get jealous now Willie).

 

At least now Darko is showing flashes of what he's capable of now.

I'm watching that amazing Duke comeback on ESPNClassic right now. Just watching Jay Williams a bit got me wondering -- how was he in his one season with the Bulls? Did it look like he was on his way to becoming a pretty good player in the league? I guess that question leads up to this -- if Jay Williams hadn't have gotten hurt, I'm probably correct in saying the Bulls wouldn't have drafted Kirk Hinrich? And one more question -- who would the Bulls have drafted/wanted the Bulls to have drafted?

thats sarcasm right lol? He had a pretty good rookie season overall and there was a lot of excitement about him going into next season... but it wasnt meant to be.

 

 

I for one thought he sucked, but i never thought he was good at Duke, a pure system player.
