I'm learning that a calf contusion isn't a "basketball boo-boo" like I had originally thought. I was off work this week with an air cast as the thing isn't healing up. I went in for an ultrasound this week and they confirmed my achilles and calf muscle are attached but there's way too much inflammation in my leg. Now I have to head in for an MRI to get a closer look. Thanks, Chris! I’m learning that a calf contusion isn’t a “basketball boo-boo” like I had originally thought.

I just got around to reading this and checking your videos out, and I must say you deserve a ton of credit for even showing up to try out against some of these guys. Credit to you for the effort buddy! And a calf contusion is not good news. I had a deep thigh contusion in high school almost 10 years ago that STILL gives me trouble today when I run for extended periods of time. Seriously dude, I hope you healed up and didn't run that 5K! Hopefully you will be back next year for these tryouts! Peace Ryan!

I still have a bitter taste in my mouth because of how things turned out but it was a great experience. I just wish I could have stayed healthy. TGS - Phantom injury? I wish! I've been hobbling around work all week and my ankle is really swollen still. I'll be sure to reach out for a game of hoops at some point. Brian - I didn't spend too much time getting to know the players. Instead I focused on the drills and talking with the coaching staff. Sorry. Thanks Rock!

I have a pic of you sitting with the big boys, http://allballsdontbounce.blogspot.com/2008/10/nba-dream-starts-here.html. Hope you're feeling better.

But hey, at least now you can say you tried. And, it gave you a great post with some great interviews (even if they are tough to hear over the chatter, bouncing balls, and squeaking shoes). Great post all around! Bummer Ryan! But hey, at least now you can say you tried.
