For the most part shows can deal with an injury to an actor. They can film around an injury, or even give a minor character a break from the show. You can even use a substitute actor at times. Not easy to do this kind of thing with a professional athlete. The actor in question does not get paid for his contributions on the court. I expect that there are clauses in Anthony's contract with the Knicks that will void the contract if he does this or that, just as there is a no-trade clause, $10M trade sweetener and player option for the final year which give Anthony increased power within the contract. Once again- Would you, as a team owner, have any problem with Anthony doing something extracurricular where he risks injury and a possible loss of playing time? Do you let an already injured Willis Reed make a dramatic entrance on to the court to play against the Lakers if it is the first game of the season, and not the final game of a championship series just because you are promoting Willis Reed bobble head dolls?

Brilliant- I'm sure every player in the league would love to play for such wonderful people! We are talking apples and oranges once again. Was Texiera playing with a known injury? Anthony has an injury to his knee that will require surgery in the near future. This is a known fact at this time. Of course there are ways to minimize the possibility of injuries. Look at what the NFL is doing in regard to concussions and head to head contact. Do you know the story about Dizzy Dean, the famous pitcher from the 1940's? Got hit in the toe by a batted ball and it fractured... It was this toe injury that led to Dean’s injury-shortened career. While still nursing a sore foot, Dean resumed pitching. The soreness caused him to change his pitching mechanics, leading to the shoulder and arm problems that Dean was never able to fully overcome, leading to his retirement in 1941. (http://www.hardballtimes.com/tht-live/the-dizzy-dean-injury-cascade/) Very dangerous to compensate for an injury on the court and at full speed, especially in a fast moving game like basketball. A players legs are his livelihood. They go and his career goes. As soon as it was determined that Anthony needed surgery this season he should have been shut down. If we had a shot at the playoffs, and you believe the 2 month recovery thing, then shut him down the first time we know about the injury in December and let him come back the end of the year. If we really have a chance to make the playoffs and we find out late and have multiple doctors who tell us it cannot get worse playing on it, then I might let him play through it and into the playoffs. But our season is over, and getting hurt even more in a meaningless All-Star game is not a smart move for the Knicks and their investment. Anthony playing in this game is not really an arguable matter, IMO, even if I am doing just that. I just hope e doesn't hurt himself more than he already is.
