^^hehe, true that...

 

I forgot that maybe not all glandular dysfunction is lethal. but if Greg's "maturity" is heightened or faster than normal, isn't he going to be like Robin Williams' character in Jack? (maybe a bit less exaggerated aging rate, Werner syndrome according to Wikipedia)

 

hehehe

spoken like a true med grad...

 

hehehe

 

isn't a glandular dysfunction lethal? like gigantism?

 

Yup. Think Andre the Giant (bless his soul).

If memory serves right, there's this 7-foot-8 North Korean dude presently in Canada who's trying to get into professional ball---I forgot his name---he also has the same problem.

 

Gigantism/Acromegaly is typically caused by growth-hormone secreting pituitary adenomas ("benign" tumors).

The mortality rate for this subset of patients is about 2-3 times versus the normal population.

Most frequent causes of death are cardiovascular (hypertension, enlarged heart) and pulmonary complications.

The goal is to keep the growth hormone in check and accordingly, the first best treatment is surgical intervention (take tumor out, hope it works...).

However, a significant number of patients do not respond to surgery alone and radiation therapy and medications may also be given.

i want the opposite .. i get younger as i grow older .. lol

 

evans to the sixers for young kids ... denver and philly have this thing between them huh

 

just like Minny and Boston, maybe Vandeweghe(?) came/played for Philly. if he's still associated with the mile high club...

 

And if I may, it's unlikely that Oden has it.

 

And I found the name of the 7-9 baller---Sun Ming Ming (that dude in Rush Hour 3)

 

ain't he chinese? his name sounds more like a chinese guy than a citizen of the Korean republic...

WOW! GREG ODEN IS OUT FOR THE SEASON.... This will change Bro Gwaps' strategy in our Dynasty League.....

 

I didn't think bro gwaps was going to draft Oden even if he was going to play. it was already almost a consensus that KD would have the biggest impact in their first year among the incoming batch of rookies...

 

btw, how and when are we going to go about that planned drafting?
