Hey E, do you think when Monta returns he will put up numbers comparable to last year? I have Crawford on my team right now, and I'm thinking about also signing Monta by cutting one of my bigs (Haslem or M. Gasol). There is no IR spot, but I'm pretty sore that someone already snatched up Gilbert last week in anticipation of his return. I want to be strong in assists and points every week. Anyone out there have any ideas? Can Monta and Jamal coexist in the backcourt without overly taking away from each other's stats?

I've called Monta the fastest man in the NBA for years, even back when he was just a rookie.

I was told no way, have you seen the Brazilian blur? Nobody can sprint with him!

Well, Barbosa is fast and I'll give him that, but he can't keep up with Monta, not even running out his ass!

Here is the advice Baron Davis posted for his “little bro” on Yardbarker. Good stuff.

Monta…

When I got the news about Monta’s injury it made me think about my own college injuries and the road back to being healthy. I hope my little bro gets back on the court soon but my advice homie: BE PATIENT. The Warriors training staff is going to give him great support and if anyone can come back stronger it’s him. Monta has the ultimate confidence and work ethic. But the most important thing is patience.

I don’t like to see when guys try to play hurt cause in the end they’re the only ones who get judged by it. Fans and reporters sometimes don’t mention that the guy’s hurt. Sometimes they don’t know. But everyone is waiting for you to be back to the level you were. As long as you listen to your body, are open and honest with the trainers, and you keep your goals in mind, then it’s possible to come back even stronger than before.

Look at Amare…. it’s hard to believe he had microfracture surgery! MJ sat out his second season taking care of his foot while the whole league was screaming for him to come back. But he was thinking of his entire career, not just one season.

Think about the future, be patient, and work hard at your rehab. That’s always my advice when I hear people are hurt. Monta… praying for you bro!

BOOM

So is this a motorcycle accident? Seems the injury (ESPN) is not a basketball injury

This is nearly as big a disappointment as Oden last year. I just hope teh Dubs are either good enough or bad enough to keep Monta from coming back too soon.

Hope he sees this page, too. Nice job Evil E!

I caught sight of Monte when I was home on leave and they play crossed town rival Murrah( Lindsey Hunter, Othello Harrington came out of this high schoo) and he was burning.But that wasn’t my first time I heard of dude. I was a senior at Provine(C/O98) Monte was on point then as a lil young’n. He possess the love of the game that most players lose sight of once they’ve been in the league for some years. He is a beast and i know coach Billups is proud that he had a chance to coach him. MISSISSIPPI…WE IN HERE…get well Monte i’m ready to see you break some ankles this year

This is great video footage!! Monta got game and will be back…probably with a better jumper. I wrote about him too on hoopforlife.com, hope to see him back on the court soon!
