Today's article re Erin Phillips

"Last Monday Phillips did not agree with the return date Lucas delivered for his players to be back after the brief Christmas-New Year recess. On Tuesday, she revealed she had a left hamstring injury she had been "carrying for five weeks".

People believing that this injury should have cleared up by now must be forgetting that she has continued to play and train through this 5 week period. That in itself would hamper her recovery. If she has carried this injury for 5 weeks, it may have been minor at the start that allowed her to keep playing but become aggravated to the point that she had to take a break.

Boti is a great basketball journalist but not a medical authority. Nor is he a skilled scientist who has just uncovered a new disease called "me".

#111545- Erin listed her occupation prior to her WNBA contact as professional athlete. It appears that you are attempting to supply an excuse based an amount of money. In sport and in business, this wont cut it. "One word for you Kimmy" ... Player Contract.

If the Boti & Benj line is right, then what does this say about all players mentioned. The questions do you lay down? Do you fake injury? Is your pain threshold low? have been asked. This issue is public record now. The response will be interesting.

I want to take another shot at 5 guests for a dinner party.

Moses, if Boti's style is to go hard, then we can can judge that he is prepared to go hard on all paticipants at elite level.

Should Boti take a path that is closer to what your suggesting, the we would get "everybody's happy, what a fun loving sport this basketball is, give us hug beautiful people."
I hope however that this is Journalism (ie has some form of research behind it)rather than something that is written with a view to incite or encourge.
