Vlad Rad: X-Treme Idiot

Yahoo Sports is reporting that Vlad Radmanovic was bullshitting the Lakers when he told them he separated his shoulder slipping on a patch of ice... kinda. He did slip on some ice, he just neglected to mention he was on a snowboard at the time. I sort of feel sorry for him. First he gets no love in Seattle after being a breakout stud and propelling them to an improbable division title. Then he gets no love in Cliptown despite... being, um, okay well he didn't deserve any love there. Then he crosses town to the Lakers, and fizzles. Every aspect of the team improved; Kobe, Odom, Bynum, Walton, Parker, even Turiaf. They started winning games like gangbusters, and Radman was left behind. Now with his stock as low as ever, with Phil Jackson, he goes for a vacashe and racks his shoulder. I would've lied about it too. Can you imagine the death stare he must've gotten from PhilJ when he showed up with a cast? And in his defense, people should be allowed to do what they want when they're off the clock. If Vlad wants to endanger his career, his talent, and his reputation by zipping around on a scrap of plastic in the snow like an idiot, more power to him.
