|

Turiaf's heart becomes his greatest asset | Quote: | The remarkably recuperative Ronny Turiaf prompts an odd question: Could an NBA rookie be considered the league's top comeback player?
Of course, "comeback" undersells Turiaf's circumstances a bit. That's usually for someone who bounces back from a bum knee or ankle.
Not heart surgery.
The NBA doesn't present such an award anyway, but Turiaf's action on the floor for the Los Angeles Lakers seems like more of a career resurrection - if such a thing can happen before a career starts. |
| Quote: | | "This was not like having a cold or the flu, this was a complicated surgery," Lakers veteran Lamar Odom said. "Some people lose their lives, not just their career. When you figure he's been able to play for us, and even to be effective for us, anybody has to be inspired. He's defeated some long odds to be here and now he's an emotional part of this team." |
Use Warning: Must credit the News Tribune in Tacoma, Wash. |

| I hope that the whole team uses Ronnies Heart as inspiration to make a real effort and put everything they have into a playoff run. |

I believe Ronny has a large effect on Kwame and giving him perspective.
