Chris Kaman Hurt His Finger Tobogganing at the Great Wall of China
By Kyle Koster
Chris Kaman is a unique dude. You can’t expect him to injure his finger shutting a car door or moving a credenza or in any other normal way. No, when Kaman hurts his digits, it’s because he’s living life to the fullest, riding a toboggan at the Great Wall of China.
"One of his fingers was squashed while he was sledding down a slippery concrete track after trekking along the wall for two hours Sunday with Lakers teammates and staffers. His sled, essentially a wheeled cart with a brake, was rammed from behind by teammate Shawne Williams. Kaman instinctively put out his hand as he saw Williams careening toward him and, well, ouch. "
Kaman said he lost feeling in his finger for an hour, which is always a sure sign one’s having a good time. He expects to play in Tuesday’s exhibition game against Golden State.
