    Did you know that Blair has no ACL
    in either knee. saw that on SC the other day and forgot all about it, until watching a few minutes of this game.

    he tore them both at separate times in his life and had them repaired but his body absorbed the tissue. happens in about 5% of patients or something.

    just cool is all.

      yep, its been discussed widely here.... that was the biggest reason that he didn't go in the mid first round and dropped so low....

      he never missed a game or practice at pitt due to a knee problem though. he missed one practice due to an ankle I believe.

      Hines Ward also is missing his ACL's... and his career has gone ok

              honestly dude, not to make you feel bad, but this is OLD NEWS, it was covered last spring before the NBA draft, and for those of us who love college hoops, well before that

                  oh, i would never feel bad about hating the NBA and missing something about it. i watched him play for my beloved Pitt Panthers, but once he and others leave school, that is pretty much it. and since it was discovered after his college career ended, i didn't know about it.

                    yeah you are right, I was thinking it was just one but then started thinking maybe it was both as well.... either way, a great career on one ACL
