While still expressing bitterness about his treatment by the Nets, Shareef Abdur-Rahim admits that on multiple occasions doctors had told him the structure of his knee looked 'funny'. Abdur-Rahim, now with the Kings, adds that orthopedists with the Grizzlies, Hawks and Trailblazers all assured him he would be able to play big minutes and he did. The Nets didn't think they could get insurance on his contract because of the problem.
