Hmm, I wonder if he's pulling a Paul Pierce. Milking it nice and slowly.
I generally don't assume players are faking injuries....but this case just might be an exception.
Yesterday it was blurred vision, today its the back, tomorrow its...
You have to admit that Rudy is genius enough to be GM. In chronological order:
1) He pretends to put out great effort at practice. His critics have convinced us that he didn't do that last season, coming back from back surgery in the middle of the season to alleviate his pain. And now he has less motivation, having announced his desire to leave. How is it possible he could still put out great effort?
2) He pretends to play defense with a block on Armon Johnson, and the many witnesses praise it as stupendous. His critics have convinced us that A) he doen't play defense, and B) he doesn't play an inside game. Either a) This fake block was premeditated, and must have involved Johnson's cooperation or b) the witnesses, including McMillan, were paid off by a Barcelona scout.
3) He falls to the floor with a thud so loud that it is heard on all 4 of the active, loud basketball courts in the building. Now this is so easily faked. I myself have paid my little brother a quarter to play a recorded thud into the PA system whenever I fake a fall and risk breaking my surgically-repaired back.
4) He writhes in pain while message board critics sprint to their keyboards. Anyone who has watched snakes in a pet store can do this. Uh, the writhing, not the dissing of Rudy. Well, now that I think of it, both.
Cho should step down and let Rudy trade himself. He could sell quicksand to an octopus.
