Steve Blake out with Chicken Pox

[Heat3]

I got Chickenpox when I was six and gave it to my father who was 41 at the time. He had never had it before. He's still alive and I don't think he even went to the doctor lol

Andrew Bynum, Ron Artest, and Kobe Bryant have never had chicken pox or the varicella vaccine, according to the Lakers. They're kinda important.

Damn. I'm 23 and I never had the chicken pox. I remember when my bro and sis had it, my mom kept making me stay away from them. Bad decision.

Kobe and Artest would play through it if Stern allows them (and I checked and they still play in LA, so he would).

Bynum could be dead already though, considering his injury history.*

LOL now I'm scared too.. like I didn't know it was that dangerous. O_O

its dangerous to adults who havnt had it. its less dangerous to kids.

I'm only four years younger than Blake and also haven't had chicken pox, and you guys are freaking me out.

Perhaps I should look into the vaccine.

yes. Do that

getting in after childhood is a whole lot worse man
