I don't know how you can get any clearer.
"I don't have any knee problems. I don't have any knee problems. I'm
not trying to get in depth with my injury and all that but the things
are bothering me are secondary and not even primary. So I'm excited
about that because it's nothing be strengthening the knee and playing
again. You gotta remember, I have been out since what, March? I haven't
done anything since then. I have just been rehabbing, strengthing.
Nothing simulates basketball play. The pounding, the churning, the
reactions, the stuff you have to react to in games you can't get that
in trying to that with the rehab and the trainers and all that other
stuff.
"I feel really good, I wouldn't (BS) you guys if I was hurting I
would tell you. I'm pretty straight up with everything that's going on
with me. I feel good. I'm excited about how we are and I'm just trying
to get my part together to make sure I'm ready for when we need to be
like we need to be."
He says a lot in that interview. And from what little basketball was actually shown in that Real Training Camp broadcast… I DID see KG out there and moving around pretty well during the scrimmage. That was encouraging.
There's talk about pain being in KG's shin… which might explain that funky wrap in that picture and where the trainer is pushing in the middle of his leg. Could just be a product of him being out for so long and trying to come back.
One thing that isn't gone: KG's attitude. Here's the last Q & A from the piece:
HOW DID IT FEEL TO MAKE THAT WRAP AROUND PASS TO RONDO DURING THE SCRIMMAGE?
"I'm a little injured or coming off injury, I'm not dead. I'm not
brain dead. I can still make plays. I can still play defense and still
know how to play. So I'm still me now, you know what I mean? I ain't in
my grave yet dog. They ain't shot Old Yeller yet dog. They ain't took
him in the back yet. I can still make a couple of plays here and there.
I know you haven't seen me in a while but I ain't go that much dust on
me."
