In this week's Sports Illustrated...I don't know how many picked it up or have a subscription, but there is an article written by Jay Williams basically summarizing a lot of what we already know. Since I am a paying customer and this is straight from a magazine I should be able to quote from parts of it...
"I remember lying on the ground thinking, Will I be able to play basketball again? Then the ambulance came, the pain began, and I had a more basic question: Would I live?"
"I can drive the 10 minutes to the center myself now, but that four or five hours of daily physical therapy is mental torture - the same stretches and exercises, over and over. Afterward I sometimes go to the courts at Duke, I'll walk to the foul line, put down my crutches and take shots"
"For business reasons the Bulls may buy out the remaining two years of my contract, but both Paxson and I expect me to be in a Bulls uniform next year."
"I stay in touch with teammates like Jamal Crawford. The Mavs' Steve Nash....wrote me and said that if anyone has the will to make it back I do."
