This article talks about the injury about a famous basketball player -- Elton Brand. I will use logical way to see this artical. In the artical, first the writer talks about the injury of Elton Brand and his salary, from this we can see the writer started to doubt his salary is too much. Since Elton Brand didn't show up for many times in this season, but the team still pay him a lot. And then the writer started to talk about the Sixer's problem -- only 23-24 this season, that shows Elton Brand didn't bring wins to the team. After this, we can see the writer starter to blame on him. Maybe the writer is a Sixer's fan, he don't like to see the circumstance that the team is facing. And then is a statement said by Philadelphia team president Ed Stefanski, these statements are always talk by the people who don't understand basketball, this time is also this problem. Stefanski started to say things very ironically, he says he believe Elton Brand is still a good player first, and then he says Sixers is still a playoff team. That is funny, I really don't know what he wants to show, but anyway, we still can infer that he gets angry with Elto Brand. That is all the logical illation for this article.
