Muscles get stronger. Ligaments don’t.

Players also play more reckless (figuratively speaking). Those sudden cuts, combined with the sneakers now lead to more pops in knees

Yea, but even in the old school NFL with terrible padding and no concern for safety in general, this rarely happened. Now it happens regularly in most sports leagues.

They don’t crossover like they do today. Maybe too much pressure in knees doing the eurostep. Maybe too much squats and leg press. Maybe it’s the new shoes. Maybe they play too much AAU ball

The Euro step always looks like an ACL waiting to happen. That's how Jabari blew his the first time. You're running full Sprint and suddenly take a sidestep. :damn:

The body sometimes isn’t fully equipped to do the things sports asks it to do.

You can cut and make these sudden movements but they’re generally unnatural at the speed and direction your body takes.

I HATE this injury. Why has it been so prevelent in the last 25 years or so? Like when magic and bird played, you rarely heard about torn ACL' outside of Danny Manning and Ron Harper.
It’s more of a football injury these days

Ur right however ACL is usually a weird landing and twisting motion of the knee...u can pop it while being a 100% dedicated couch potatoes and jumping out of joy then landing akwardly.....cuts usually don't impact it unless it was already damaged.
