Jabari Parker has a torn ACL

[Remote]

This is the 1st part of 3 parts where his comeback is a disappointment and his career ends and people act like he was the next Grant Hill based off 25 games.

Its about time brothers stop that Euro/cac step, Ginobili has the juice, but it aint meant for people to running at full speed to stop and pivot on a instance like that .....


Even me as a non athlete that shyt aint feel right and natural hhoping in the park

You just beat me to what i was going to say by a matter of seconds.

If he wasn't a Mormon maybe I would've cared.

Heartbreaking. He was really starting to get comfortable after a slow start. What a horrible break for him, and us to a lesser degree.


Not necessarily. If Henson and Ersan ever come back, we can (and if we really want to, probably will) still make the playoffs. East is weak as fukk, and we're still getting better. But like Malta said, we need to find a way to mail it in and get another lottery pick. No point in sneaking in as the 8 seed and giving up a chance to get another high pick.

I think Middleton will step in and give them some nice games, especially since you all seem to be using Giannis as a PF now.

That said, just mailing it in and getting Okafor, Towns, Winslow or Johnson would dampen the blow this could have on Jabari's potential.

I mean damn these nikkas play ball all their damn life. make money playing ball, and have practices n shyt and they cant see when they try the move it doesn't feel natural....in the park I was like damn Im a fukk up my knee trying this bullshyt

 

[Reid2Achieve]

I'm almost 100% certain it's the shoes in conjunction with all that sticky mat shyt, the shoes have too much lateral grip and the force being exerted on their knees when they plant or do Euro-steps is too much. If you just go through the injury videos, it's almost always with someone planting them having to change direction. Your ankle, and shin aren't going to break so the most likely thing to give as the force travels up your leg is in the knee, all those ligaments ain't meant to have all that lateral force on them.

The shoes have more grip today, knees are exploding left and right.

I would love to hear medical theories on this and if there are any exercises to strengthen the knees to prepare for lateral force.

if that team got one more lotto pick

 

[FAH1223]

True... and it is the eastern conference...

They just have to win 23 games out of 58 remaining games

With how good they are defensively and Giannis and Knight growing it's going to be hard to MISS the playoffs

It's hard to tank in the East

 

[threattonature]

fukked up to say but I seriously worry about how he'll bounce back from this and if he'll put on a bunch of weight while down and out. Hate to see this happen to him though.
