I for one (as many on the board) have watched may since he started playing at UNC. Frankly, I've never seen McMay in shape....as far as him pushing and possibly re-injuring himself I seriously doubt the "push" part of the statement. I will not be surprised he he is re-injured......I've heard some people say let him play himself into shape...I agree as long as the "play" is at practice not in games that count because I'd rather not encourage anyone else to come in out of condition and he is a major liability to his teammates when he's on the floor...
not to sound like an ass, but you only get shin splints from not walking/running properly. And you only (usually) get injured if you don't stretch/warm up properly.Originally Posted by Felton for Prez
Getting in shape has no adverse affects, getting in shape the WRONG way does. He's a professional athlete (and I use that term very loosely) and he has professional trainers that should be more than capable of working him into shape without injury
That's my point exactly. Embarrassment, frustration, whatever you want to call it can cause someone to push it beyond what they should be doing (ie, prepare incorrectly). One of the reasons he's not in shape is likely because the training staff has handled him carefully. Maybe he's not in shape right now because they don't think he's able to handle the the wear and tear to get in shape. If all of sudden they rush him, he could break down.
For the record, you don't get shin splints from poor form. Its more of a surface issue and poor foundation building.

So I look at it like its bad form because you aren't supposed to walk that way, but this isn't the place to discuss walking form...the reason is that some runners overstride, and land heavily on the heel with each footstrike. When this happens, the forefoot rapidly slaps down to the ground. Effectively, the foot, which is dorsiflexed prior to making contact with the ground, is forcefully plantarflexed. This forceful plantar flexion of the foot causes a corresponding rapid stretch in the attached muscles. A reflex in the muscles responds, causing a powerful contraction. It is this eccentric contraction which leads to muscle soreness and possible injury to the muscle, tendon or connective tissue...

I promise you i couldn't be more heated with Sean May if you threw both of us in a pizza hut oven. Sean May's dad had a short career cuz of injuries,Never reached his full potential. I remember Sean in college talking bout that. Now look at him. Jason Kidd, Amire, and a hand full of other players hand the same knee surgery. None of them are fat and out of shape and can't run up the court. I bet of it was a box of damn Krispy Kreme he'd jump to the top of the back board like Earl "The Goat". This is shameful, For him to end up no better off then his dad, In turn dragging this team down (again).
This is pretty funny: check out the Linda Cohn quote from the charity gala the Cats held Saturday night....

It was nice of Bobby J. to show up...oh wait, he didn't. I swear, I don't think he's long for being our owner, I really don't. It's obvious he knows the Charlotte community doesn't like him, nor do the majority of his paying fans, and he's losing money by the assload, and any businessmen knows when to cut his losses. Speculation, sure; but I really think he's going to be selling sometime in less than 2 years, and Stern will make sure that whoever buys the team is committed to keeping it in Charlotte.

I like how the title of the blog is "Paid to Party." I wonder if the author was inspired by Sean May's workout regimen.
haha...that picture is so wrong on so many levels...
Not cool... not cool.
