Update on my boy Josh Childress and it's not always about the dunk!!!

Another classic in the long history of "Josh Childress doing lines": “I’m glad to be home, but I didn’t want it to happen this way...”

Big news out of Philly this morning...Swingman Josh Childress, had surgery to repair a tear in his abdomen...While initial reports projected Josh would miss between 6-8 weeks, Josh and his medical team think the time frame could be shorter: “The doctor said he thinks we can push the envelope on the recovery and I could be back in 3-4 weeks. ”
Meanwhile, reports from the other side of the Atlantic, were saying yesterday that "Olympiacos Pireaus on Tuesday announced that forward Josh Childress will undergo hernia surgery today and miss most, if not all, of the Top 16."
There is a story here totally going under the radar:
While the surgery has been reported as a hernia, Childress and his doctor said (after the surgery was performed) that it was actually an abdominal tear. Said, Josh: "Everybody (in Greece) diagnosed it as hernia, but the specialist in Philly said it was a tear. Actually, I’m kind of unclear, because the team doctor said he thought it was a hernia, and he was here at the surgery as well."
Childress had the surgery in the U.S. because he had a clause in his contract that allowed him to come to the U.S. and see a doctor if he suffered any serious injury. He went to a specialist in Philly — the same guy who treated Shaq’s strained abdominal muscle.
Again Josh is showing us that he has been less of an outstanding basketball player and more of a professional business basketball player...
It's funny cause once in a while I get together with professional scouts and when I bring up the Josh Childress situation they all have kinda the same non basketball related response "He proved his Stanford education"...

We have to be grateful for streaming technology...After you replay this video 10 times, think about exactly how many highlights we’ve missed...but here there's MORE than just the dunk!!

This dunk by the 6-3, 190-pound was one for the ages, (although it's an obvious offensive foul), but the celebration and the audio were just as classic. Joshua Beale (no. 44) gives high-fives to random people on the sidelines. Cheerleaders come up to talk trash. The victim (6-6 junior swingman Mason Ambler) just lies on the floor. Not a single teammate comes near to help him up...I’m laughing at the dunker’s teammates too. Two of them screamed in the face of the kid who got dunked on. That was brutal. One of them was even mugging the dude as he walked to the free throw line like he dunked the ball or something.
