There's two possible problems
you could have.

1:22:28
You might have healed,
say, 80% of that cartilage...

1:22:31
and still have
a small residual tear.

1:22:34
William's brother-in-law, Alvin...
1:22:36
takes him to see Dr. hefferon,
the Chicago Bulls team doctor.

1:22:40
What you need to do is have
your knee arthroscoped again.

1:22:46
- What side we gonna do?
- Right side.

1:22:49
Right.
1:22:51
A lot of people say I shouldn't
1:22:53
have played, shouldn't
have came back at all.

1:22:59
Coach kept sayin'
it's really up to me...

1:23:02
and if you leave it up to me
I'm goin'back out there on the court.

1:23:08
We're gonna remove
this portion of the cartilage here.

1:23:13
he'll have a higher incidence of arthritis
as he gets older than you or I would.

1:23:17
But in terms ofhis basketball career,
he has a good chance of performing fine.

1:23:23
- There's the medial meniscus.
- Wow.

1:23:33
It's the only thing on my mind,
is gettin' downstate...

1:23:37
is makin' it down there.
1:23:40
I want to be able to go all out
the whole year.

1:23:44
No setbacks, no nothin'.
1:23:47
At least Coach won't have to say,
"William, you didn't play hard this game"...

1:23:50
'cause when I step on that floor
I'm gon' be all business, and that's it.
