In a preliminary-round game in Hamamatsu, Japan, on Aug. 23, Varejao elbowed Greece guard Nikos Zisis as he was dribbling through the lane. The blow fractured Zisis' face in several places. He spent a week in the hospital.
An angry war of words followed, and now, according to a European basketball Web site, Zisis and his lawyers are planning to take legal action against Varejao.
I hope D-weaver isn't the lawyer.

That's retarded, sports players are bound to get hurt. It's the risks of the trade.
I don't know how actions like that are usually handled in European play, but in NBA play if it was an unintentional injury nobody would be pursuing legal action.

It says in the article that Varejao wasn't looking when he swung his elbow. Shit happens, but try telling that to a Greek.

Sounds like Ha Seung Jin when he fought with [someone] at the Blazers practice. "I'll sue! I'll sue!"

Sun Sep 10, 2006 11:18 am
this would set the biggest, most fucked up god dam precedent in history... there is no fucking way a judge/jury would find for this guy...
Sun Sep 10, 2006 2:25 pm
this is retarded. Varejao should clock that guy in the balls for being such a pussy.
Sun Sep 10, 2006 2:34 pm

Sun Sep 10, 2006 5:22 pm

I think he has the right to sue him
Sun Sep 10, 2006 6:15 pm

Sun Sep 10, 2006 6:48 pm
Damn right, Nash didn't sue Malone in 2004 and that was in America..
Sun Sep 10, 2006 6:52 pm
Looked accidental, if he sues he'll get nothing.
Sun Sep 10, 2006 7:00 pm
yep. its a sport and what the hell is wrong with Nikos? he is a huge pussy for someone elbowing him. probably never been in a fight in his life
Sun Sep 10, 2006 8:12 pm
This is sport,lots of this things happen .This happens all the time and no one sues no one for this.Varejao should sue him back for mental pain or something.

Wow Im gunna have to sue you just for being so stupid. I wonder if you were being intentionally stupid.
Mon Sep 11, 2006 3:10 am
Thats not intentional, so Varejao swung his hand and it hit the other guy by mistake.
Varejao was looking the other way too.

Did Chad Clifton sue Warren Sapp for Sapp just laying him out, just drilling him on that interception a few years ago Bucaneers vs. Pacers? No, Clifton was out for the entire season, hospitalized with his pelvis broken or something. Suck it up, if you play any sport, you take the risks.
Mon Sep 11, 2006 3:53 pm
I wonder if he'd still sue if Varejao wasnt playing in the NBA.
