r9 wasn't just a speed merchant though, aka walcott,,lennon etc

he wasn't even" fat" when it happened ,


I mean look at the skills he pulled off,focus on his knee's ,years and years of doin such skills,twist and turns it will catch up with you,( it just depends on how bad it strikes)

bro was carrying some weight he was built heavier than a lot of other footballers

everyone will take some damage pro sports is hard physical labor no doubt

but the fashion in which r9 fell apart is more than playing style

same with uncle.drew

teflon connective tissue & joints are priceless word to bronbron

TYRONE GA!
Kyrie still in a better place than he would be in Cleveland .If he were in Cleveland, he'd be playing on a bad knee all the way to the Finals just to lose and have Bron leave him there this summer. Even if he sits out the rest of the year, he has a better future with that young team than he would on the Cavs. :yeshrug:

that 2019 max contract might be looking shaky though if this is a lingering issue :lupe:

The screws are whats causing the inflamation, according to the Celtics doctor. Kyrie is going for a 2nd opinion and depending on what he says and how the knee feels in the next few days to weeks, Kyrie will either a) end up sitting out the rest of the regular season and get as healthy as he can for the playoffs or b) decide it isnt getting better w rest and get the screws taken out, which will keep him out for about 6 months, so the sooner the better if that is the route he chooses to take.

Kobe's German blood doping procedure is a whole other thing.
Its not all that different the treatment kobe got is designed for inflammation which is the kyrie issue. The root of the cause whether screw or arthritis is not relevant for this treatment, of course it wont heal the root of the problem But can alleviate the pain if he wants to play. I have a screw in my body, inserted properly, and i still get swelling under certain circumstances. If kyrie wants to play he should focus on pain management. The kobe treatment is very effective for inflammation and would be widespread in the US if the FDA guidelines werent so messy.

How similar is his knee injury to Gilbert Arenas'? I know the surgery he received was for a torn meniscus. I think Gilbert had the same issue.

CHARLOTTE, Nov. 21 -- After playing one of his best games of the season at Minnesota on Friday night, Gilbert Arenas woke up the next morning, felt his sore left knee and knew something wasn't quite right.

On Wednesday, the three-time all star found out why. An MRI exam revealed that Arenas suffered a partial tear of his left medial meniscus. He underwent surgery to repair the meniscus and what the team doctor described as a defect in a bone on the side of his knee at Sibley Memorial Hospital in the District, and is expected to miss at least three months.

Team physician Marc Connell described the procedure in a statement released by the Wizards. "I repaired a partial tear of Gilbert's left medial meniscus," Connell said, who also used a technique known as microfracture to stimulate cartilage growth. "We are optimistic that he will be able to return to action in three months."

Arenas originally suffered a torn left lateral meniscus April 4 in a game against the Charlotte Bobcats when Gerald Wallace fell onto the side of his leg. He underwent surgery and missed the remainder of the season, including the playoffs. That injury also had a three-month timetable for a possible return, and Arenas was cleared to resume basketball-related activity on schedule during the summer.
