The Miami Heat 's summer camp is exacting a far greater toll than could have been anticipated from such offseason workouts.

what is up with big men and sternums. i mean first dwight howard and now michael beasly.

[The DUH]

You don't need a sternum or shoulder to play basketball.

[Ken Norton]

I think we got a kid with a glass jaw. Maybe he needed to stay in school and toughen up

[dwayne wade]

thats lame that michael beasley got hurt first day ofv practice

[Mike Honcho]

The Yatil Green Curse lives!

[OLDBBLR]

Wussy, Wussy, Wussy! Leastly is showing us how tough he is huh? In my day this would never have stopped a GOOD player! I played with two broken ribs and never missed a game!

[Tureo]

Riley should not get rid of Cook as the team needs a young nucleus and Cook could be a part of that.

The injury here has nothing to do with his toughness. Same thing happened to Dwight Howard and nobody is questioning his toughness.

[Dr Bombay]

What the hell is a sternum and do it do!!!

[Lior]

Beasley you will be fine man.I hope that your injury will be heal.

Beasley's blog entry is a good read. I like the way he talks up his fellow rookie teammates. Seems like he wants to take the summer league team to the playoffs! Great attitude, I like this kid more and more. The injury was a freak thing and, imo, doesn't show any lack or "toughness" or other flaw in his game.

[dribbler]

morons! accidents happen.
has NOTHING to do with his attitude.
nothing to do with soft or crybaby.
we're not in playoffs here,
not even in regular season,
not even in exhibition games
not even summer league.
precaution is PARAMOUNT.
get a life before you pint fingers.
JERKS!!!
