Stevenson's Re-Spun Knees

PrintDeShawn Stevenson is expected back in the Nets lineup Wednesday with knees that could be described as re-spun. While out the last seven games, Stevenson underwent the same therapy Kobe Bryant swears by.
The blood-spinning treatment involves removal of a athlete's blood, spinning it into a growth hormone-rich plasma that is then injected back into his knee twice a day. "I don't feel none any of that swelling. None of that," he said. "It was very expensive, but it was worth it. The Nets took care of my right knee and I took care of my left knee -- $12,000 apiece.
"Probably 2004 (was the last time my knees felt this good)," added Stevenson. "Yeah, my knees feel real, real, real good."
How did it come about? Bryant, who underwent the tretament and says his knees are 90 per cent better, recommended it to Gilbert Arenas. Arenas didn't travel to Germany like Bryant and Rodriguez but was treated by the German physician's associate in New York, Dr Edward Capla. Arenas then recommended the therapy to his former Wizards teammate, Stevenson.

Sems like the Nets want to keep him around into Brooklyn
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Dont mind him at all..would be great for the young guards

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this sort of thing considered doping in sports like cycling and track?
Let’s hope it works though

It's your own blood
They spin it to separate the proteins which are thought to promote faster cell regeneration. The proteins are then injected into an injured area and theoretically with heal the affected area faster. Since it’s all natural and what’s being injected into you is from your body i don’t see how this can be considered doping.
A growth hormone is added
but bball has different rules in that. Sounds ingenuous actually

serious question
if Lopez practices tomorrow and tuesday what is stopping him from playing before the ASG? The Nets I’d assume?
don't want to rush him back
he if gets re injured we can say bye to a dwight trade
Orlando is stuck with him no matter what
When Dwight’s gone , they’d have no other choice but to sign him. Who would they have play there?
Sorry to crush some of you guys dreams but Lopez and Dwight is not happening so stop it.

He means more to this Franchise right now than anything else
I think D-will would have to clear him.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
i know all this and i agree with you guys
but it would be nice to have him out there, even if it was just for 15-20 minutes at first
thats irrelavent he just wants to play

Brooklyn and D-will matter much more
Arenas is small potatoes.

Petro gets paid over 3 million dollars to miss foul line J's and not rebound.
Landlord gets paid nothing and is as solid a backup big in the league, but for us he’s starting
It's a fluke...He's on a natural high...

someone made the point
that even mediocre point guards flourish in DAntoni’s system, that Duhon and Felton had their best years, by far, under DAntoni than before or after, and that Nash hasn’t played as well as he did under Dantoni, when he won his MVP’s.

Isn't that the coach and system's job?
I mean, why can’t Avery come up with something that works for Deron?
I seriously thought that when Deron came to the Nets, he was the best PG in the league. His stats are still impressive today.
Get scrubs to play defense.
Hey you guys say what you want
But I voted for him on that ESPN poll.

haha guilty as charged! I’ve had more fun watching Lin than watching the Nets this year. I watched the Knicks-Wolves game and the UK-Vandy game instead of the Nets- Spurs game the other night…and made that decision before the game started.

that poll offened me
Lin should not be on a list for the best point guard in the league. It’s an insult, because he should have been on a list of the greatest point guards in NBA history. It is more fair to compare him to Magic The BIg O and Isiah. Or will that come after 8 games?

Trap question. Like wife asking if she looks fat.
Knicks have no salary for Dwill. But, if you all way to stay salty, go ahead.
They're saying they'd rather have Lin than D Will.
I mean…….really?
by Clayton Balch on Feb 13, 2012 12:26 AM EST up reply actions
Lin carried Knicks to 8th seed and 5 stright win.
One must be on crack or suicidal to even talk about trading Lin.
Right now, Lin is playing on Lebron level.
Be smart and ask again when Lin has cooled down.
he was 1-13 in the second half against the T-Wolves.
I don’t think it’s ridiculous to say that the cooldown is already under way.
They get Amare back.
Lin only cares about winning. That’s all he ever talks about. He get scrubs to play hard and break their backs to win with him. The Wolves game was the best win, Lin was hit in the eye the throat and cobbered to get that game winning free throw. Go watch the highlights. That was like Iverson level courage.
He should cool down to pace himself and for his own health.
he has fresh legs, has not played any solid defensive team and mianly D'antonis offense is being executed like it should be
but once team killer comes back we’ll see how much of a “superstar” label he carries if he doesnt buy into the system and makes Lin look bad

Still optimistic about playoffs
8-21 now. We play 6 before ASG. we go 2-4 and have a 10-25 record. With everyone back can make a final push by going on few 7-8 games winning streaks. Long shot but possible. Just want to see the team make playoffs for the final season in jersey.

I don't remember any team winning much when they've been constantly bombarded by trade talks of their best player.
How can anyone work under those conditions. Avery can’t even coach because he doesn’t know Lopez will stay a Net.
Just consider this a rebuilding year. You can’t wreck and rebuild your team in the middle of a championship run. That’s being kind of greedy.
playoffsssss!

It’s likely he’ll practice with the team before Wednesday’s game. So you never know.
Wednesday is a reach, but I think the weekend is definitely likely. Either way, I think he’s close.

then he has to be cleared for non-contact drills
then he has to be cleared for full conditioning
then cleared for full practice
even if he did play he would be so out of game shape it would be a waste. might as well wait until all star break and ease him back in

Prokhorov?
If I were Mikhail Prokhorov, I would have paid for both knees. What is 24 grand to him? He’s willing to give away billions of dollars anyway. Something like that would show how the Nets are dedicated to their players. Makes us more of an attractive place for free agents, which would add to the fact people are going to want to play in Brooklyn and in the Barclays Center.
didnt have to pay for either
its an experimental treatment.

John Schuhmann @johnschuhman
Comparing team efficiency to league average, the Nets have the worst defense of the last 20 years, allowing 9.6 pp100p more than the league.
Next worst of the last 20 years was the 2005-06 Sonics at +7.9. So the Nets are the worst BY FAR.
Our defense should not be THIS bad.
