Off Topic · If Jermaine Oneal comes back strong In Toronto (page 1)

Does that mean he was dogging it in Indiana?
Oneal has been a pro since Jordan was still winning championships.

He was drafted in 96... Wasted 4 years in the bench up in Portland. Now he's 29, going on 30 this year.

Most bigmen can still play in their prime until the age of 31-32. All Jermaine has to do is work out and lose weight.

Will it be enough to give him that little bounce he lost the last few yrs.

I say :
16ppg/9rpg/2bpg this year for him.

I don't think he was dogging it. He was definitely not playing 100% in every game but no one does that. I think he was surrounded by the wrong cast of players and he is genuinely injury prone. I think he has all the talent and can easily return to the elite big man status but he will always be injury prone.

sounds like baron davis syndrome to me, potentially healthy for the 1st time in oakland in upcoming contract yr. LoL

If Jermaine playes 70-75 games would that be considered him injury prone this year ?
