There's plenty of articles out there that say Ray Allen had to leave the Staples Center early because of a child of his had a health issue. Most of my sources say that it is diabetes.

I really hope everything is ok for him and his daughter.

My sources say that message boards don't count as sources.

Actually I didn't get my information off of a messageboard.

I got it off of well known newspapers and sports websites.

In the future maybe add a link to your sources.

Why would he just make something like that up?

I didn't. Do you trust rumors from message boards?

There are links all around the internet, it's not that hard.

As for it actually being diabetes, that has not been confirmed officially yet. However, if you've watched any NBA related TV show in the past 12 hours, you will know that it is diabetes.

Usually not but I'm not sure why someone would just make something like that up. If he was going for that he could have said something like Ray Allen himself has diabetes.

I never said he made it up. A link provides more details than a message board. It is simple, even Wookie acknowlegded how easy it was to throw up and link, and actually posted it later.

Try this: Write a paper at Tulane, but don't cite any sources, and let me know how it goes over.

I have yet to see anywhere confirm officially that it is diabetes. It is some sort of health problem, though.

Apparently it is his son that is having "health problems", not his daughter.

Whatever the health problem is, I hope the girl doesn't suffer too bad and gets better. She should be able to see the best doctors and specialists.

Yeah, writing a paper at Tulane is totally the same as making a post on a message board. :coffee:

If you wanted the link bad enough you could have searched for it yourself. I realize everyone wants everything spoon fed to them these days but sites like google exist for a reason. Use them! :D
