Interesting read: Gilbert's worst physical pain experience

"When I was new in the NBA the team veterans convinced me to shave, you know, down there, because they said the hair stinks. I used my girlfriend's razor, which was rusty and gave me keloids. The doctor prescribed medicine to dab on, but I just poured it all over. Three days later I woke up screaming. The skin was burnt off my scrotum, down to my crack, everything -- just raw flesh. I still had to run and play, so I used a numbing spray for a month until it healed. Now I use clippers."

WTF. TMI.

Especially if you know what a keloid is.

I'm calling bull on this story though.

No way in hell!! Me thinks Gil made that up. You wouldn't be able to run with keloids hanging off your nutsack.

I don't.

I'm not gonna look it up.

I'm never returning to this thread.

Way TMI, even if it is bull.

Didn't know either but being more than a bit curious I had to do a google image search and now I wish I didn't.

WARNING-- DANGER AHEAD!!: A graphic keloid image can be found at the following link. Only click on it if you want to see that image and are not squeamish.

Edited to remove image and replace it with a link to that image.

why did you feel the need to post that? And your disclaimer didn't help any, as the bottom post was the first to show up on my screen.
