Suns' Medical Staff

I know this was probably talked about before but the Suns' medical staff is so underrated in what they bring to the table for that organization.

In Shaq's book, which I read entirely, he said his toe was misdiagnosed by the Lakers and Heat which made him miss a lot games. Without the toe problem, Shaq was an iron man like Lebron. If Shaq's toe was treated properly when he first had the problem, he would still be playing right now.

When Shaq got to the Suns, Shaq wrote in his book that they were finally able to properly diagnose and treat Shaq's toe.

We all see what the Suns have done with Nash and Grant Hill.

It's no surprise to me that an injury prone player like Eric Gordon would want to play the Suns. Players like Greg Oden should really find ways to sign with the Suns.

In contrast, the Blazers probably has the worst medical staff.

I don't get how the Blazers guy is the one getting picked for the Olympic team. Crazy

I'm more interested in how Nash and Hill are going to fare now that they don't have that medical staff anymore.

IF Shaq wasn't a fat arse he would still be playing right now.......majority of Shaq injury are related to his weight. Wouldn't matter who the medical staff was, he was gona get fat during the off-season, every off-season.

dude Shaq is 40 and huge. he did great to have the longevity he had.

I swear people are going to be whining about if Shaq wasn't fat he would still be in the league in 2025.

he never showed up to camp in shape during his Laker tenure and he only shaped up that 1st off-season with Mia cause he wanted to prove LA wrong. If he could've managed his weight better during the off season he could've squeezed out several more effective seasons.

Yeah, because everything that comes out of Shaq's mouth is 100% truth. Like others have said, his weight more than anything caused the issues. And it's not like he hasn't badmouthed both organizations since leaving either, so why wouldn't we believe him.

Say what?

Prior to the 02-03 season, Shaq played 81, 81, 79, 54, 51, 60, 49 (lockout), 79, 74 and 67 games.

He wasn't anything close to an iron man...

This. If they come out and have no problems, does the "Great PHX medical staff" aura get shattered? lol

God I hate Summer. :lol:
