The Sport Count

Monta Ellis has caused a whole lot of controversy over the past few days, with mounting speculation that he suffered a torn ankle ligament in some dubious circumstances. Even Warriors GM Chris Mullin has expressed some doubt as to the actual circumstances behind Monta’s weird ankle injury.

This sort of subterfuge has happenned before. Vladimir Radmanovich once lied about snow boarding during the All-Star break, claiming he slipped on an icy street whilst holding a cup of coffee (which sounds like an episode of Seinfeld, to be honest).

Unfortunately The Sport Count couldn’t reach Monta to get to the bottom of this issue, so in the meantime, we’ve put our heads together for some rampant speculation on the potential causes of Monta Ellis’ Injury Adventure.

- Was he helping needy residents of New Orleans fight off Hurricane Gustav?

- Doing impromptu Usain Bolt impersonations when running suicides and coming unstuck?

- Trying to cat burgle Raja Bell’s Most Improved Player trophy, hence righting the injustice that was inflicted on him?

- Doing the ‘Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em’ dance?

- Chasing Baron Davis through LA’s Little Tokyo, trying to ask him what language Don Nelson speaks?

- Running away from Captain Jack, because he’s really scary?

- Greco-Roman wrestling with Andris Biedrins?

What do you think happened? We’d sure as hell like to hear.
