T.J. Ford may be Paralyzed....

[Cloak & Dagger]

took a real hard fall tonight...I have nba league pass....he couldnt move his arms or legs afterwards and was crying

its was a pretty hard foul where the guy raked across his face on a wide open layup

did anybody else see this??

made me not care about my bets today....

[bigboydan]

I didn't catch it on the tube, but I'm sure I'll see the highlights on sportscenter later tonight.

Didn't he have a spinal cord or neck injury few years ago?

[Louisvillekid1]

dam this is the second time something like this happened to him

[onlooker]

I seen it on NBATV. He looked to go limp after the hit and didn't move.

I hope everything is all ok with him. He had back surgery once before.

Al Horford has to feel terrible.

It must have happened with 1:20something to go in the game... I have NBA Pass but I was watching the scores on the net since I was trying to middle the total which missed by 3... I saw a flagrent foul and there was a lot of time that went by before they updated it...

I'll have to catch SportsCenter for it..

I hope he is ok... That's horrible!!!

Thanks

Should be on youtube soon, that sucks...

Yeah, I had money on the Raptors tonight, so I was watching it on the computer. Kid took a hard fall right on his neck. He was driving to the hoop, got smacked in the mouth, and the momentum from the smack, made him fall backwards to the court. He basically landed on his head, and his neck snapped forward. He looked pretty bad.

[stump]

I saw it and it was scary, especially due to his past injury.

ESPN just said he is moving his extremities, is expected to stay in the hospital overnight, but all looks ok.

[robzilla]

I saw it on The Score, Torontos highlight channel. He's gonna be okay. That was a hard smack to the forehead though, and then when he landed he hit the back of his head. The brain is like Jello... It cant that that shit.

same thing happend to me playing Hockey. The back of my head hit the glass and i was knocked out and still standing my helmet flew off and then i landed face first into the ice. When i woke up I didnt know where I was, and I was crying too. I think because I didnt remember anything 30 mins before being K.O.'d.

I think death is going to be like getting K.O.d out.

Good to hear. TJ seems like a well liked guy. Just found this on ESPN.com too...

Former NBA player, coach, and Ford's workout coach, John Lucas told ESPN.com that he spoke with Ford's girlfriend, Candace Dixon, Tuesday night and that she told Lucas that Ford had feeling in his arms and legs and did have range of motion. Lucas said Dixon told him they were awaiting results of a CAT scan and that Ford didn't lose consciousness.

thats good to hear.....Im glad for him.....shit was depressing watching that for reals

[thagame24]

sucks because TJ is a real community guy and a genuine good person. It's a shame that his career may end abruptly if this keeps happening.....hopefully he takes a couple months off after this one.

That was not a hard foul, he landed wrong

[ShamsWoof10]

That was not a hard foul, he landed wrong

Yeah I agree... I didn't see it until late last night and I expected a lot worse.. From the way you guys made it sound I expected to see him jack knife and land on his neck...

Well I am glad none of you were chosen to write the holly books or roots...

Cute he did NOT basically land on his head!!!

Glad he is ok though...

[White_Tiger]

some good news for TJ.

12/12/2007 6:16:07 PM T.J. Ford Head Left Game He left Tuesday's game after being fouled during a lay up and hit his head on the floor. He was held overnight in hospital but has already rejoined the team. There is no timetable for a return.

That was not a hard foul, he landed wrong

He got smacked in the face by a huge black guy

[dwaechte]

That was not a hard foul, he landed wrong

When a guys forearm comes crashing down on top of another guys head, I'm pretty sure that's a hard foul.

[ShamsWoof10]

He got smacked in the face by a huge black guy

Please... that's about 70% of the league...

[louisvillekid]
