What the fck is it with these players always fighting "the flu"? Is it just me or do basketball players have the highest rate of flu of any profession? In any given series there is usually 1-2 guys out of 20 fighting the flu at any given time. I don't really get it. Is it just an excuse for the coach in case the team doesn't perform? Have they heard of flu shots? Am I the only one who has noticed this? Serious question
