Now, in what will almost assuredly not become a regular post, Game Recognize Game brings you news from the CBA.
The most exciting news in the CBA is the upcoming season for the Atlanta Krunk, the Continental Basketball Associations answer to a lack of interest from Lil’ Jon fans. Well, this franchise should more than capture their attention. In case you don’t know about the Krunk, I bring you the key aspects of the team through a photo album.
Duane “Spider” Hughes recently announced that the Krunk, formerly the “Atlanta Krunk Wolverines” would be moving from Charlotte to Atlanta, silencing all those who doubted their strangely specific name choice.
Check the logo:
This move was not only met with a myriad of screaming fans but also a stylish new uniform, to be supplied by sole sponsor Starbury.
Check the uni:
As every true hoops fan knows, moves and execution like this would be impossible without true professionals behind the wheel. Former all-star and now coach Kenny Anderson here with co-owner Freedom Williams to his left and assistant coach Lamont Moreno (the guy who looks like Martin Lawrence), to his right.
Check the staff:
And of course, a business opportunity such as this would have investors everywhere peeing their pants. Kenny Anderson isn’t the only lucky guy who gets to be associated with the franchise. Stephon Marbury jumped at the opportunity as well.
Check Stephon cheesin’ with Freedom:
So, if you don’t know now you know… Krunk fans.
The Atlanta "Krunk" are a professional basketball team that will play in the Continental Basketball Association beginning November 2007.The name is a derivative of a form of music made popular in the Atlanta area, with notable multi-platinum producer/artist Lil' Jon the leader of the genre.
Contrary to some on line "slang" dictionaries, the word "crunk" was actually a derivative of crank, as in "crank up the volume". As with many English words, the urban community will put it's own slant and pronunciation own a word. "They kept the volume crunked up on the speakers all night at the club last night!"
Thus, a new word was introduced into the lexicon of America, and has since taken on several meanings from whence it originated! Krunk basketball simply means this... "High flying, exciting, in your face basketball. Played at a frenetic pace..."
The Atlanta Krunk have become a popular topic around the country. Here's what people are saying...

The Windows To The Walls: The Krunk Are All About Marburys
"Atlanta, Here I Come"
First of all, this post has very little to do with Lil' Jon or even Atlanta
really, so all those who googled "Atlanta Krunk" are not in the right
place. Though I am known to both snap my fingers AND do my step, this post
is actually about the Atlanta Krunk, the infamous CBA team.
It seems that the Kenny Anderson coached team has employed Zach Marbury,
Stephon’s little brother, as their point guard. Now, I’m sure that Zach
is a very capable point guard and in his defense he has yet to get in a
fight with Isiah Thomas, but I find it hard to believe that Stephon is
sponsoring the team with his clothing line AND Zach is running the point
for a totally unrelated reason.
I don’t want to imply that the venerable Atlanta Krunk would give anyone
underserved playing time, but I am suggesting that Stephon might get more
of a say about who plays and who doesn’t than a sponsor should. Whether
Zach got the job based on his skills, he's the team scoring and assist
leader, or because his bro supplies the uniforms, a Marbury family
dominated team is something I am very ready to see.
Hopefully the addition of And1’s ‘The Professor’ (that’s right,
he’s signed on to join the CBA when his contract runs out) won’t
disrupt the Atlanta Krunk, who might as well change their name to the
‘Marburyville Marburys’.

From Athlebrities (the Fusion of Athletes and Celebrities)
EN FUEGO HOOPS HOTTIE: TRISTAN LARGENT
Another one of our En Fuego Hoops hotties has earned the right to be Athlebritized. Tristan Largent, who scored 12 pts and 5 rebounds during the LNBP Showcase in SD in August, is on the map. First of all, there is a wicked video of Largent during his thing for ENMU (Eastern New Mexico U on June 10) on YouTube. Largent played two seasons and made All Conference both seasons, led his team in points (18.0 ppg), assist (3.5) and was a two-time winner of the Eastern New Mexico Harry Miller Award. Just let the video speak for itself and you’ll see why Tristan caught my eye….
It baffles my mind to hear about all these young, hot, hungry hoopsters who strive to be picked up by the NBA, yet go unnoticed. Largent has spent most of his life in the DC, VA, and MD area and was practically born with a basketball in his hands. “It was tough playing growing up because there is so much talent in those areas- it is very easy to get over looked.” Largent said. “I have been playing basketball all my life, and as far back as I can remember, anytime there was basketball game going on I was there no matter what.” But I gotta say, the coolest gig Largent has participated in has been working out with the Krunk. The Atlanta Krunk was formed by former hip-hop star Duane ‘Spider D’ Hughes in 2005 with the hope that every game would be a concert. Not sure if that happens- but the rhythm of the players is certainly worth the price of admission. “Working out with the Krunk was tough, a lot of running. They invited me down to ATL for a week to workout along with 15 other players. Just the experience alone was amazing, getting to be coached by a guy (Kenny Anderson) who I watched playing in the NBA when I was growing up. Also, the assistant coach Vincent Smith (Kenny “the Jet” Smiths older brother) works out a lot of NBA players, so he was putting us through all the NBA workouts. Also, the “professor” from And 1 is one that team. So they are going to have a good team this up coming season” said Largent. So pa-leeze people, keep an eye out for this 6’0 180 pound self-proclaimed mamas boy, because we need more good guys in the NBA, especially one that tells me “pretty much all I do is workout and some day I hope to make enough money to get my mother everything she ever wanted.” And that my friends, is why Tristan Largent gets mad Athlebrity love.

The Sports M. D.
A personal blog filled with ramblings and insights of sports from the fans point of view.
Now that Michael Vick has decided to plead guilty to the charges before him, it is finally official.................he ended up being the worse of the two Vick brothers. If anybody saw this coming, they should invest their seer gift into the stock market. How could anybody believe Michael, the #1 pick in the 2001 draft and onetime future of the NFL, would end up being seen as worse than his younger brother, Marcus? This is the same younger brother that used his cleated foot to stomp on the leg of Louisville defensive lineman Elvis Dumervil. This is the same brother who is involved in a civil lawsuit for continuing to have a sexual relationship with an underage girl, even after a court ordered him three times to stay away from her. I haven’t heard of a defeat this shocking since Chaminade beat the Virginia Cavaliers in 1982. Has there ever been another family that had so much to gain, and threw away every shred of it?
Finally, I just found out yesterday that Atlanta has a CBA team called the Atlanta Krunk. 5 dollars says this team outsells the Hawks by percentage of seats filled over the next 5 years. As your friend, I advise you not to take that bet. That is all, now, on to business.
Now, I know that the EPL season has already started, (that’s English Premier League for all my fellow yanks), but this is my first opportunity to address the 2007-2008 season for Newcastle United. I have been waiting eagerly since mid-May because our longstanding rivals, Sunderland, have somehow risen from the Champions League with hopes to not again be beaten back down by the Premiership. For those who do not understand the European leagues, they are set up similarly to baseball’s with its AAA, AA, and A, except the teams in the lower leagues are not training grounds for young players to make it up to their Premiership owners, but are instead each their own team. If a team finishes on the top of their “A” league, (called League 2), they get promoted to the “AA” league, (called League 1) and so on. Consequently if you finish at the bottom of the “Major” league, (called the Premiership), you go down to the “AAA” league, (called the Champions League). Sunderland has long been Newcastle’s rival, since they are located 10 miles from each other in the Northeast coast of England. Imagine the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, but then move New York and Boston so that only a river separates them. It is good to have the Mackems (derogatory slang for a Sunderland supporter), back this season, so that the rivalry can continue.

From ESPN's Page 2WHAT'S IN A NICKNAME?The CBA has added the Atlanta Krunk franchise for the upcoming season. Never mind that we thought Atlanta already had a CBA team. In addition to misspelling "crunk," this new team just might have entered the pantheon of the most dubious nicknames in sports history.A sampling of a few of the most dubious team nicknames ever: • Houston Gamblers and San Antonio Gunslingers: On the surface, the names of these USFL franchises might hit too close to home in today's sports landscape, but in actuality they seem to be plausible monikers for the NBA and NFL, respectively. |

Anderson led New York City to basketball glory
(Original publication: July 25, 2007)
Before Sebastian Telfair, before Stephon Marbury, before Lamar Odom and Ron Artest, there was the original Empire State Games schoolboy legend.No one was hyped like Kenny Anderson. Big-time ballers had emerged from New York City high schools before, guys like Chris Mullin and Pearl Washington, but Anderson had them all trumped by the time he was 16.The skinny 6-footer put the basketball on a string, zipping it around defenders for amazing shots and passes that brought more media attention than any prep star had received."I don't think any of his moves were coached moves," said Jack Curran, Anderson's coach at Archbishop Molloy High School in Queens. "Flashy - it brought you out of your seat."Never before had a New Yorker been named all-city four times. Not since Lew Alcindor had anyone been a three-time Parade All-American. Anderson was MVP of the city championship game as a freshman. Three seasons later, when he'd set the state's career scoring record, he was Gatorade's National Player of the Year.Demands on his time came from all directions. Ray Nash, the Bishop Ford head coach, approached him in 1987 about joining the Empire State Games team. Anderson tentatively accepted and ended up loving it."The people treated me very well, so I made it my obligation, if they could get me there, to play in them," he said.One year, they had to fly him up from a Florida tournament to make a game. He was worth the cost of a plane ticket. In 1988, the summer before his senior year, the most highly recruited player in the nation poured in 50 points in the gold-medal game. It marked the first back-to-back gold for New York City's scholastic team."I was just in a zone. I was just playing basketball," Anderson said. "The way I got it, I was just running up and down, scoring points, shooting that little in-between jump shot I had in college." Anderson became the No. 2 pick in the 1991 NBA draft after two seasons at Georgia Tech and played guard for nine teams in 14 seasons. He lives outside Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and will coach the Atlanta Krunk Wolverines of the CBA this season. Reach Jake Thomases at jtthomas@lohud.com or 914-696-8578.

Tuesday, July 24, 2007The Atlanta Krunk: Stylin' and Profilin' |
||||
DIME SMACK DAILY BLOG Off Season Who’s had a worse offseason than the Heat? First they lost Jason Kapono to Toronto. Then there were some very public swings-and-misses with Mo Williams and Grant Hill (not to mention Steve Blake). And the Heat didn’t even get a chance to make a run at Rashard Lewis, but it turns out there’s no way they had enough money to compete with Orlando anyway. Daequan Cook might be a good ballplayer down the road, but you wouldn’t call Miami’s draft haul a blockbuster. And the only upside to Dwyane Wade being on the shelf through the beginning of training camp is that he won’t be worn out from playing with Team USA. They’re not done, though. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel says the Heat are talking with Steve Francis‘ people, trying to fill that need at PG. On paper, Francis and D-Wade in the backcourt looks real good. If that paper was written up in ‘04. But today? Steve is at least an upgrade over J-Will … With Rashard coming in and Grant Hill going out, what is Orlando’s starting five looking like for next year? Obviously Dwight Howard’s at the five and Jameer’s at the point. After that, though, does Rashard play the three and Hedo Turkoglu play the two while Tony Battie plays the four? Or do you go with Rashard/Hedo at the three/four and J.J. Redick at the two? Initially, Rashard’s signing had some people thinking Hedo was gonna get traded, but according to the Portland Tribune, Orlando has no interest in trading him … The Tribune also says the Spurs are likely one of the teams most interested in Ime Udoka. Just what the rest of the League needs; another lock-down style defender in San Antonio. We saw games where Udoka personally gave LeBron problems in a Bruce Bowen-ish manner, and he’s not a liability offensively (8.4 ppg, 40% from three) … Udoka leaving might be the opening Travis Outlaw needs to do something in the League. The Blazers re-signed Outlaw (3 yrs, $12 million) yesterday. So far whenever we watch Outlaw, he’s done his thing when Portland is up by 20, down by 20, or it’s the end of the year and the games don’t matter. One of these days he’s gotta start making an impact in meaningful games … The latest on Yi Jianlian: the Beijing News quoted Chen Haitao, Yi’s coach with the GuangBLEEP Tigers, saying Yi wouldn’t play for the Bucks because the team wasn’t “suitable for Yi’s growth.” The main concern is that Yi wouldn’t get a lot of tick with Andrew Bogut, Charlie V and Milwaukee’s other young bigs in the picture. “The national team and the Olympic Games are now our key considerations,” Chen said. “If [Yi] goes to a team where he can’t compete, that would be being irresponsible to the national team.” … Meanwhile, at least two Eastern Conference teams are said to be interested in BLEEP Zhizhi (isn’t anyone worried about his growth?). While all the attention was on Yi during Team China’s stint in the Vegas Summer League, BLEEP had a couple good games, including a 27-point, 7-board outing against the Grizzlies. He averaged 17 and 6 in China’s five games … The CBA’s Atlanta Krunk, who last we heard had hired Kenny Anderson as its coach, apparently signed AND 1’s Grayson “The Professor” Boucher to a deal … Did you hear about the rugby player who had a tooth lodged in his head? About three months back, Ben Czislowski of Australia’s Wynnum pro team had a head-first collision with Matt Austin of the Tweed Heads (yes, the Tweed Heads). After Czislowki recently developed an eye infection to go along with the pain in his head, doctors found he had Austin’s tooth still stuck in his dome … We’re out like naming a team the Krunk … |

DE LA CRUZ: This is a political show online like you have never seen before. These guys come at it as politics is a contact sport. HOLMES: Yes. DE LA CRUZ: It is sometimes. HOLMES: Well, it is, actually. DE LA CRUZ: They treat this one like an NFL pregame here. You can see that they're giving the rundown on the recent second quarter fundraising results by the candidates. It is all online. It's worth checking out -- superdeluxe.com, that is the place. And, you know, I just wanted to give back to the whole "crunk" thing. You know, earlier... HOLMES: We're still talking about crunk? DE LA CRUZ: Yes we are. Merriam-Webster has added a hundred new words. "Crunk" was one of them. I asked T.J. to use "crunk" in a sentence. And I have to show you this. Josh Levs, by the way, thinks that he can out-crunk you. HOLMES: Oh my goodness. DE LA CRUZ: And this is why. He wrote an article on this basketball team, the Atlanta Crunk. There is actually a basketball team out there. It's called the Atlanta Krunk, just in case you want to check it out. LONG: For those that may not know, what is crunk? DE LA CRUZ: Well, T.J. can explain what crunk is. HOLMES: We're going to have a crunkathon. OK. It's Sunday. No more crunk talk. We are... DE LA CRUZ: But what is it, though? LONG: What is it? HOLMES: We are done with the "crunk" talk. LONG: What is it? HOLMES: Ladies, you don't want to be involved in crunk. OK? DE LA CRUZ: Melissa, it is a genre of hip-hop music. LONG: It's an unladylike thing? OK. DE LA CRUZ: Or it could be an adjective or a noun, like, let's get crunk with it. HOLMES: OK. DE LA CRUZ: How did I do? (CROSSTALK) LONG: Well, Veronica was just talking about campaign cash. We're talking about crunk. Right? OK. So campaign cash is tight. Staffers are bailing out. Does the John McCain campaign have a future? HOLMES: And turning to a controversial trial, a sexual assault trial going on in Nebraska, where the judge bans the words "rape" and "victim," among others. The alleged victim furious about this. So are some women's rights supporters. We'll have the story for you when CNN SUNDAY MORNING returns. |

Metro Interview: Chuck Daly on the NBA Draft, Dream Team and all things basketballby david sandora / metro new york JUN 28, 2007 Few people in basketball have seen as much as Chuck Daly. From two-time NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons, to coaching the original Dream Team, to turning around a moribund Nets franchise, Daly earned his Hall-of-Fame status. While on a recent trip to New York to promote awareness for benign prostatic hyperplasia (also known as BPH or enlarged prostate), he sat down to talk with Metro. 
Former coach of the Detroit Pistons Chuck Daly. (Photo: Allen Einstein/NBAE via Getty Images) A lot of people are talking about this being one of the deepest drafts of all-time, especially with all the big men available. Have you had any chance to look at the players? I think what caused it to be this kind of draft is the fact that 3 or 4 guys stayed at Florida last year. Had they come out it wouldn’t have been quite the same. Normally you get to the eighth, ninth pick, you’re struggling. And the fact that those 19-year-old kids are coming in that stayed out an extra year makes it a really, really deep draft. It’s kind of interesting too because a lot of people think ex-Florida star Joakim Noah couldn’t raise his stock any higher, so he hurt himself a little bit by staying. He was the first pick last year. Now he’s going to go 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th — who knows where he is going to go, depending on who people like and their needs. He might have hurt himself, but he sounds like the type of kid where it doesn’t bother him that much. He wanted to stay in school, and he did, and he loved it. He almost — in a different emotional, mental way — he strikes you as a guy who’s almost like Dennis Rodman in terms of style of play. [Nodding] Offensive rebounding. When Dennis came into the league, everybody thought he couldn’t shoot. It turned out he could shoot and he could shoot threes. But we didn’t shoot threes back then. But he took on this role of great defensive rebounder, great offensive rebounder and you can’t pay for those types of people. They aren’t around. Paul Silas was there and Wes Unseld, you get a few people because it’s a dirty job and you don’t get paid for it. Consequently, I do think [Noah] has that kind of ability if he can be sold out it. Do you see this as a draft that could compete with ’84? You never know. It’s hard to come up with those years where you have a Magic [Johnson] and a [Larry] Bird in one year [1979] — have those kind of drafts where they not only become the face of the league and they become Hall of Famers and they win championships. And that final statement — win championships — how many guys are going to do that? When you start going back and looking at it, San Antonio has won four of the past eight years. Chicago won it all those years. We won two [in Detroit]. Shaq with L.A., they won their fair share. So certain teams get on a roll in an era and other teams never get a chance to get there. Speaking of the Spurs, Robert Horry said the Spurs would beat any of the teams from 20, 30, 40 years ago because that’s the way the game has progressed. Do you believe any of that? No. No. They have one Hall-of-Fame player right now. Perhaps Tony Parker and Ginobili advance to that position and they knock on that door. But when you talk about the Los Angeles Lakers with three Hall-of-Fame players on one team, you look at the Boston Celtics with three Hall-of-Fame players on one team, even Atlanta during those years and the Chicago thing. [The Spurs] are a wonderful team, and I give all the credit to them, but I don’t know. You didn’t mention the “Bad Boys.” Well you know we had our era and we were pretty good. Should’ve maybe won three, in succession. You’re talking about ’88? The call, the [foul] call on the baseline on Billy [Laimbeer]. We had that series won. [The Pistons led until a controversial foul call against Laimbeer gave Kareem Abdu-Jabbar two free-throws that he sank in the waning seconds to lift the Los Angeles Lakers.] But when you talk things like that — if we had won that we probably wouldn’t have won the other two, so you can’t say that. But we were in the finals three straight years and we won it twice. It was quite an accomplishment for an interesting team. … We had to utilize what we had and we had really, really great role players. We had a different style than anyone in the league at that time. It was fun. You’ve always been a very big Isiah [Thomas] guy and very supportive of him. It seems like he’s assembled a lot of the talent on the Knicks roster at times. Is there something missing to finally getting him over that hump to putting that talent into something that can be a cohesive team? I think they are close. I think they have people who are tradeable. And we need them to succeed in the NBA. I think it’s really important for New York to be part of the scene. [Thomas] is a brilliant guy, a brilliant basketball guy and I think he’s going to get it done. There’s one great player missing. You don’t go anywhere in this league without an MVP candidate. You can kid yourself all you want. Check it out. You go back two years ago, three years ago, every team has two MVP candidates if you’re going to win it. And you need a star — you absolutely need a star. Here, this year, you take a Cleveland Cavalier team that was a nice team, a good team, well coached, but they had one superstar that took them to the finals. That’s kind of unique and I think basically that’s what [the Knicks] need. Who wants to get rid of a superstar like that and who can afford with the salary cap bring him in? It’s much more complicated today, when you hear about Kobe [Bryant] wanting to be traded. You start looking at the numbers and what value you can get you say, “That’s not going to happen.” What do you make of Kobe and him wanting out? I’ve seen that over the years. Players get frustrated about where they are and want to be somewhere else. They just can’t stand not being part of the playoffs and being in the finals. That’s what it amounts to. And [stars] have the capability to do it. So they get really frustrated. I’ve gone through it on a lesser level. I remember my first meeting when I went to Detroit, Jack McCluskey was a GM and it was a [conference room] table just like this. And Terry Tyler and his agent came in and Jack said, “I want you to sit in on this meeting.” Terry said, “I want to be traded I want to move. I want to move on.” So I listened and listened, and finally I said to him, “I hear ya, but I’m a big fan of yours and you’re not going anywhere.” It happens at every level and guys just get frustrated and you just can’t do it anymore. There’s a line about wishing for what you don’t want to get, something to that effect. You go to these other places, are you going to be more satisfied? You may not have a better lifestyle than you have where you are. So you better be careful what you ask for. In the instance you just said, do you think you can still get the most out of a player in a situation like that? Is there a period of time where you think, ‘This guy’s heart isn’t really in it?’ There’s a possibility they may do some pouting. And I guess there are some cases where they think about holding out, but when a salary is $20 million a year, they aren’t holding out much. Guys are so competitive, once they come to the arena — boom, they are ready to go. Their adrenaline kicks in. Especially after the Lakers got rid of Shaq and that didn’t work out to well, so they’d have to think twice about getting rid of Kobe, right? And you know what, they are the entertainment capital. You have to produce entertainment [in Los Angeles] and if they don’t have a playoff team or a very good playoff team, at least people will come every night because [Kobe] might get 60. That’s a huge advantage. He’s frustrated, that’s all. It’s been 15 years since you coached the original Dream Team. How much do you still think about that and has your view of that Olympics changed a lot since everything that’s happened since with the other Dream Teams? [My view hasn’t changed] because we were in a different bubble, I thought. That was the most unique team that will ever be put together. They had a mystique that no team will ever have and mainly because they were all MVPs or close to it. Most of them had won championships or had come close to it. They were so mature, that was a very mature team, and they accepted what went on. You only have 40 minutes, not 48 to get these 12 guys on the floor. I spent a year-and-a-half thinking, ‘How am I going to do this?’ with a lot of trepidation. But we never started the same team, we never started the same team at half. It was a dream to coach and it was a significant aspect of the basketball future of the world. And I knew it then. I knew that 180 countries were seeing this team play, I knew what was going to happen. Luol Deng said [a few] weeks ago, “Oh I was a soccer player, I didn’t want to play basketball — until I saw the Dream Team.” And that happened to a lot of people. It changed the concept and the world about the game. It’s amazing how fast it happened because by ’98 it seemed like everyone had started to catch up already. You want to hear a great story about when I was coaching Orlando? I had two speaking engagements, one was on a Sunday afternoon with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tthe next was sandwiched between Secretary [of Education William] Bennett and Colin Powell in the arena in Orlando. So I went up there to do this speaking engagement, and I had a lot of notes ready. I wasn’t sure what they wanted. I’m sure it was about winning championships. So I walk in and they have this stadium room with 100 guys in white t-shirts and khaki shorts sitting there, [Tom] Coughlin was the coach, and here I walk in. I threw my notes on the floor and said, “This isn’t going to work.” So I talked and at the conclusion I asked for questions and there were quite a few questions. As we left the two gentleman who were in charge of the administration staff said, “We’ve had speakers every year and they said we’ve never had any questions, not one.” And I said, “Well I know it wasn’t the material.” And they say, “No, it may or may not be, but they all want to be basketball players.” How about baseball — only eight percent [of baseball players] are black. Eight percent. They quit playing partially because they all wanted to be basketball players or rappers, I don’t know which. But it’s significant. That team and the way we played, we were heavily criticized over here [for having NBA players], but I guess everybody in there was getting paid for something. [Television commentator] Jim Nance, everybody had a deal of some kind professionally. Did you see [former Nets point guard] Kenny Anderson is coaching [with the CBA’s Atlanta Krunk]? Did you ever think you would see that? I heard that he wanted to come down with [former Villanova coach] Rollie Massimino, who has a job down in West Palm, last year and he was looking for a job as an assistant. He was probably looking for his next check knowing Kenny. How did you get involved with BPH awareness? For about 20 years I’ve had this problem — frequent urination — and you think as a guy I’m getting older and I have these symptoms, then they get worse and you go five and six times a night. And then ultimately you go see a doctor and they diagnose you. They call it BPH, which is actually an enlarged prostate. It’s a manageable condition. Guys have a tendency to resist it. They say, “I’m alright, I’m alright.” But when you get to your 50s you have a lot more problems. Were you reluctant, too? Oh yeah, for years and years. I kept saying, “Oh it’ll be alright.” What changed your mind? The nighttime was the worst, waking up five or six times [a night]. [I] couldn’t get any sleep. And you get worried. “What is this? Do I have cancer?” You go, you get a diagnosis, you find it’s treatable and it relieves your mind in that respect. And then you can get on a program. We have a website, wwww.talkaboutBPH.com, and there are tools on there, an assessment for your plan. I’m on uroxatral and it really helps. |
