Lawson's toe proves toughness, raises questions about future

Posted Mar 24, 2009
This part about North Carolina's Ty Lawson isn't debatable. What he's doing now by playing with a painful toe injury is starkly impressive. Frankly, he should be getting far more appreciation for pushing through the discomfort than he is from many in the media and public. Lawson likely rushed himself back from the injury so he would be a factor in the tournament and as a result is fighting through some stinging pain. That's not the debatable part. This is.
