Unofficial thing about Jonas' recent visit overseas is that while training in gym with NBA coaches he got his biceps teared or smth like that, nothing serious, but the most important thing is that Euro and NBA standarts in weight lifting are pretty much different...

woah, wait a min, do you have a link or a source for this info? A bicep tear is going to be a pretty big set back for the kid right now, he was supposed to start working with Raps trainers as of September. For a big, a bicep tear means no weights, no rebounding, no shotblocking, no jumpers, etc. Other than riding a stationary bike and doing some lower body work he won't be doing much.

No source. I'm not sure if tear is correct word, but it's nothing serious, he is already fixed. Just during workout they put too much weight than he could handle ;)

Good to know. Hopefully in a year or two we won't have to worry about him getting pushed around.

Is it reported anywhere or it is just a local rumor? link would be nice.

Shouldn't Jonas be in Toronto by now, or is he coming in September? Because I thought he was coming two weeks after the Olympics ended.

Yikes. I guess he was balanced, at least. Was he trying to bench a Lada or something?

English clearly isn't the guy's first language. He got the message across though. Jonas got hurt, he got treated everything is fine. End of story, why do you guys have to be so immature.
