Fuck I’m so sad…

I said if it’s official. Until someone from PG’s camp comes out and says that it’s a compound, keep hope alive (I haven’t watched any Sports News outlet all day so if the word HAS come out from there at the time of this post I was unaware).

Just a reminder that when a player this talented goes out the whole league suffers.

Bird said he still supports professional athletes playing Olympic basketball

How the fuck does having a compound fracture mean his career is done? Lots of injuries can involve broken skin and Doctors don’t just “glue” his bones back together without disinfecting and stabilizing the wound first and any rod or pin that gets inserted into his leg would be sterile. The biggest concern is nerve damage and right now there hasn’t been any statements released saying thats the case.

Besides, it’s 2014. “Done” back in the day isn’t the same as now (See Shaun Livingston, Jorge Garbajosa, Kevin Ware, etc) . At the very least, he still has one great leg and could be a spotup shooter if it were that serious.

I think it’s weird that guys who were becoming the best at their positions (Rose, George) both get bad injuries right when they were about to reach their peak. The good news is both Rose and George both signed fat contracts before getting injured which is great but also another weird similarity between the two.

I mean really lets make some basketball IQ out of this since you guys like fantasy anyway. How many SG’s would you take before Paul George? Who and why? Because I never really thought about it before but Paul George is probably the most balanced SG out there whose young and with good size.

rods and plates can put him back together fine. it helps that he’s in top tier physical shape as well. with medical knowledge being as good as it is, even compound is pretty whatever in terms of recovery.

the outlier is obviously complications, but it sounds like surgery went fine and no additional damage was found. now its just basic recovery and healing, then getting back into shape.

*Maybe it’s just me, but it looks like Rose is smiling and thinking something akin to “Glad it wasn’t my leg this time”. *

Lol. It’s just you man

supposedly andrew wiggins cavs jersey isn’t purchasable on nba.com anymore…

Nah, more like he has to know what that feels like to lose a season. Feels for him, that way. Knows more about that than mostly anyone else in the building.

Granted the round up of video right after sportscenter blowout, chose Fareid on the bench smiling, seemed strange, but that had to be a long time after right? Tons of downtime, everyone there, don’t really know what to think. Plenty of the same reaction by everyone already. But since that guy punches holes in the wall after losing to Golden State in the playoffs, who knows why he’s always smiling.

(They framed his hole in the wall and labeled it.)

come to think of it
Amare punched a fire extinguisher thing, cut up his hand too right?

Alrighty, I gave Dark General TIS’s old team. I am sorry TIS, you can’t trade Durant and Batum for peanuts and run your team into the ground.

WHOLE F"N SHOW, TRADE ME DRUMMOND.

Don’t forget Willis McGahee getting his knee destroyed in the Fiesta Bowl…

*You gotta be shitting me. This team had Durant AND Batum? *

  • This is what one of my buddies said when I showed him the pic. You two are probably right.

Yup, it was Amare after a loss in the playoffs iirc. When he did it he pretty much torpedoed the Knicks chances of winning that series too. *

One of the best days in Heat playoff history.

Durant got traded to the team with LeBron. No, not traded FOR LeBron. They were together.

You’ll never experience anything in your life as crazy as Fun League.

To put things in context. We do an auction draft and have $200 to build a team. I think he spent $160 on those 2 guys alone.

Re Gruesome Injuries:

What about Johnny Knox’s career ending injury?
