Just noticing a trend with u, this shyt is surprising cuz these dudes are outta this world delusional. He almost got his foot amputated talking about imma sleep it off :yeshrug:

But does your money being long worth your life span to be shorter?

He almost got his foot amputated....and there are thousands of stories about players who've risked life and limb just to suit up on sundays.

to even be a professional athlete you have to have his mindstate....it just sounds crazy to normal people. but they're not normal people.

You know, I kind of understand this mindset. I have numerous lingering injuries because I wanted to play...and I wasn't even getting paid. It's just a mentality some people have.

And I recognize that it's stupid for me to play sports with a labrum torn so badly it sublexes from me raising my arm above my head. It's stupid playing on an ankle I couldn't walk on the day before. It's stupid playing after dislocating your finger and popping it back in yourself to continue without taking a play off. It's stupid playing on a leg with a stress fracture...and I did all this for fun. It's dumb. But if you have that mentality, it's just how you are. If you can go you can go, and when you're on the field, court, ice, etc. the pain goes away.

corny not to be able to pick your kids up because of a game
corny to almost lose a limb because of a game
corny to be rich and almost die because of a game
corny to take the shyt that seriously
corny to make these kind of sacrifices for a cacanization
just corny overall

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?

Breh, they suit up because they don't have guaranteed contracts and 90% of them can be replaced at the drop of a dime. This is a league where 60% of the players go broke just 5 years after retiring, having life long medical problems while you're broke is not worth it.

There are very few basketball players just playing through stupid injuries, because their union doesn't suck ass and can atleast get some measure of job security.

You live in a 1st world country with an actual healthcare system though :youngsabo: An American doing what you did is setting themselves up to be broke in the future.

There are niccas who are going through this kind of shyt and they just work at a mill or something making much less. They're just working.

They prolly give less than a fucc about how cool that appears to you...

:snoop:

They HAVE to. Might point is that Taylor's risking it all when he already has at least a cool 5 mill in the bank. Corny-- especially when you have a wife and kids.

Players like him "HAVE to" as well...just to keep themselves up. You know how much those medical procedures cost? And as mentioned, that money isn't guaranteed...
