Young injury vs old injury I remember falling or bumping into things around at 20ish shit didn't faze me.. my mid 30s small falls and bumps hurts you never no what he really feeling or dealing with y'all acting like y'all can feel what they going thru
Nah I think AD injury more serious then people think. If you watch the videos you can see his neck snaps back in both Memphis and nuggets game. I don’t think it’s the shoulders themselves but it’s some type of nerve damage to his neck.
I can see your point about AD being made of glass, but Embiid I don't remember him being soft. If there is anything we should commend him for basically playing with one leg as he does not look the same out there yet he is able to put up 50 points and 46 points and is leading the leage in points per game for the playoffs at 37ppg playing hurt. You gotta respect him. I don't like the fact that AD took 1 shot in Game 2 second half and took 1 shot again in the second half after that injury in an elimination game. Looking at that replay it don't seem that bad. He could have still performed well. Yeah I agree with Kenyon Martin on this. Football players get hit way more harder than that.
Lol I thought that too wat Kenyon was talking bout like dude how did u get injured off a tap and I knew the fix was set and then right after LeBron acted like he hurt his ankle these guys need to go frfr we Lakers deserve better and we need to hold the organization accountable I mean our taxes is paying them
As someone whose had a bad shoulder for majority of his adult life. Get it fixed via surgery or quit the game. There is no in-between. It never goes away
Depends what type of injury it is. My shoulder took 2 year to heal completely, it did heal without surgery but took very long time. I guess that is not an option for professional basketball player.
I am not a doctor and probably neither are you, so just doing a surgery may not be what's the best option. Keep in mind that, while medicine has advanced very much and recovery is better than ever, this is still a serious form of intervention on your body. It's not a magical pill you take and feel better without possible repurcussions. It's usually the last option if nothing else works and as far as I know a lot of surgeries may, let's say, fix some immediate issue, but may hamper your athletic abilities in other ways. Who knows how we would be after surgeries and I am sure he has the best doctors, so lack of education isn't most likely a factor.
@@victormotta5728 and still bodies and trucks defenders like a running back. If you think lebron is soft I'd hate to know what hard is to you, homeboy.
It’s true, I’m a Nuggets fan and I remember Kenyon hyperventilating and crying. I felt for him getting all emotional but I never respected his mental toughness after that
I had a stinger or whatever in high-school & never got it checked out. I remained very physically active & then joined the US Army. Every time I got very fatigued, the stinger would come back along with other shoulder pains without any contact. I never got it checked out & would always tough it out. Again, only fatigue cause the pain to return, it didn't require contact. With me going through that, I'm not quick to judge AD's shoulder pains, only a doctor can. It looked soft for him to go down from something so weak, but if you can't relate to having shoulder pains, then you don't know.
I think it’s more so, if the pain is that bad then he wouldn’t have returned so quickly. Were you able to tough it out, and make physical contact shortly after you felt the pain?
@@DaVinciiTaylor I'm a witness to a crippling pain suddenly gripping you, without any contact, and going away as suddenly as it came. I get that all the time from an old injury.
I’m an Occupational Therapist and Registered Functional Therapist and I can tell you that many shoulder injuries are caused by small forces in awkward positions. The rotator cuff is made of 4 relatively tiny muscles that keep the head of the humerus in a shallow concave surface called the glenoid fossa. It’s not like a hip, it’s shallow and it can be dislocated, torn, or even just a rotator cuff muscle can get pinched between the shoulder and the acromion. Look it up… it’s easy to injure. Then there’s this mentality that players should play through the pain… well, what if you cannot raise your hand? Sorry, you just can’t. Here’s an analogy… 4 workers with 4 ropes must raise a flagpole. They cannot move their feet but they can each vary their pull… they can raise it together. Now… remove one worker (one rotator cuff muscle)… now they can’t. Now bring back the 4th worker but put the base of the pole on a skateboard… now they can’t again. Now, if you want to call AD a liar… that’s just you calling him a liar. It’s possible… but it’s also possible that he’s injured on an old injury. Very possible! Ed Kaine
thanks man,idk about this retired players talking nonsense they need to know the history of the player and why would he fake an injury when they are up 6 points.
Yeah I tore my rotator doing overhead stationary barbell presses at planet fitness. Crazy things is I barely had any weight on (two 10lb plates), but was doing very high reps and, CLICK. I felt when it snapped with a sharp sting. I forced myself to stay in the gym and work that day. But for the next 10-12 months I was in constant pain while letting it heal naturally. I took a lot of natural supplements, and doing light workouts helped it rebuild naturally. But for the first 5 months I was in so much pain that I couldn't even sleep on that side 😢
That recurring pain can apply to any old injury. I have one that always comes without contact, but when it comes, it's crippling. I'm fortunate that it goes away as suddenly as it came.
Sure, but it also isn’t too difficult to quietly go to the sidelines and get it checked out. Rolling around on the floor for a shoulder bruise makes no sense from a competitive standpoint.
Why are so people so confident in Dwight? He “stopped” a pre-MVP Jokic who averaged less than 20 and 10 that season… Jokic has gotten better, and Dwight has gotten 4 years older…
A bad rotary cup can do that to you. My rotary cup is so bad from playing sports that I can't even lift the arm up at times ... In any slight hit will turn into severe pain. So in my opinion I don't believe he is flopping. But then again who was there to really know
Thank you. Anthony Davis on a bad day is 10 times better than this joke of a man. Davis had an amazing series, bumping bodies with everyone. It doesn't make any sense for him to fake an injury on a game they are dominating
That’s great if this was boxing or MMA but we talking basketball ! Other than alleys from Kid what he do? Denver nothing , Knicks nothing. I’ll wait for you to tell me anything he accomplished. For him to be talking like he does!
In high school an over aggressive teammate crashed down on my thumb in a non-contact free throw drill. For several years afterwards I would get an excruciating stinger in the thumb catching simple passes, dribbling, etc. Several years later - as a U.S. Marine - the unstable thumb is x-ray’d and it’s discovered that it had been cracked and heeled improperly; I took a hard pass on the re-break surgery. All those years of having people think I was grimacing for attention! Don’t judge.
Kenyon finally admitted it. Some players do actually exaggerate injuries to cover themselves from blame. Not even saying AD did that but i noticed dudes conveniently be getting injured when they’re about to lose, especially when they’re getting embarrassed
I haven't seen AD flop and complain like the 'king' very often. It's strange to see a near 7-foot monster go down like that and I'm sure he played it up a bit to stop the clock but it happened on a play that didn't really benefit him. To me this looks like nerve pain, probably from aggravating an existing injury. Anyone who has had a rotary cuff issue or pinched nerve in the shoulder knows how excruciating that can be. He tried playing, briefly went to the back to get shot up with the good stuff then mostly fell off of offensive for the remaining game. As much as I dislike the Lakers right now, I don't think you're giving the best guy on that team a fair shake here.
I hit the ground so hard during a game from a targeted hit that my collarbone moved and still is moved to this day. I had frozen shoulder got right back up and kept playing Lol. U dont notice when youre in the zone. And I was just some rec player trying to go hard 🤣🤣🤣 I also broke off some of my literal hip (yes I have X rays for that, where the doctor laughed and even said "HOW DID U DO THIS") from another hit i took on the court. I literally kept playing. AD is soft man - why is everyone trying to protect him likes hes their son 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Imstillyoshi I've had plenty of bad hits too that you don't really notice until later. I've also dislocated my knee and wrenched my shoulder simply making an awkward move to the ball which immediately sent severe pain down one side. I probably tore something and to this day that joint pops and cracks when moving around but fortunately hasn't caused any chronic pain (yet). As I said I'm sure laying on the ground was to ensure they stopped the game but don't underestimate shoulder injuries. Plus just a game or two ago he slammed what I think was the same shoulder into the base of the hoop. If it was James or any player notorious for this I'd agree but if you watch how it all played out I honestly think most of it was real.
The internal feeling of being charmin ultra soft. You must of missed K-mart's point. Its an elimination game and this dude is rolling around on his stomach crying as if the roof of the arena just fell in on his family.
It's not like he's taking his off-season workouts seriously either. Even Bron tried to get him on the weights more but he just ain't mentally built like that. He just wants to stretch the floor and let somebody else bang in the paint.
KMart during his rookie season broke his leg. Even with broken leg he walked out to get it checked. If anyone can bash a guy for moaning about injury, it is KMart.
@@EricA-kl7byMan you don't know what that man does in the off season. "Even bron tried to get him to lift more weights", how do you know that? Lebron ain't lifting much weight himself, all he does is shoot up his roids that's about it..
The 1st "injury" was to the R shoulder. Now he's complaining about the L shoulder. Dude is just soft. He could never play during the 80's to early 2000's.
In the Grizzlies game Davis was hit in the right shoulder and went down. In the Nuggets game MPJ hit him on his left shoulder. Come on man, both shoulders? Yet he's slammin and jammin all night long. His shoulders can't be that weak.
@@drewbooo fans are comparing current crop of nba players to players from bygone eras. Nobody compares AD with himself lol of course he's an Iron Man compared to myself. But compared to big men 20 or even 10 years ago? Soft as hell
having a soft body/bones doesn't mean that the player is soft. AD still went out there and gave whatever he had. Look at nba players now in their 40s and 50s all limping around
I've had shoulder problems my whole adult life, it didn't happen from the bump by Porter. It happened when he went up with 2 hand to get a rebound and Gordon went under his legs and pushed him from the back. Arms flair shoulder pops . It happened to me before. He never got the surgery
I had over 40 shoulder dislocations, multiple surgeries on both shoulders. One dunking, one being tackled. Most times I’d pop it back in. Never have I rolled on my stomach 😂😂😂
I currently have a fractured shoulder and absolutely could not imagine having to do physical activity using my injured arm. I’m a combat vet and like to think I’m a tough cookie but nooo this ish hurts. Every little movement is excruciating.
I have a chronic shoulder injury. On many occasions, I thought the shoulder had completely healed. It will flare up at times and reinjure it just by coughing hard or sneezing. So going back to AD, I don't think he's faking it. That shoulder has been banged up.
No way Davis played that hard to fake an injury at that moment. U could clearly see he could barely move it. It doesn't make him soft. His shoulders are just susceptible
Agree, but that would be hard to do. Lakers don't have a lot of cap flexibility, plus you have to find a center who can stretch the floor since AD isn't that great from 3.
It's not about how hard it looks, sometimes your body shuts down on you. See it in every sport. Sometimes the worst injuries don't look like much, but the huge hits does nothing to guys, they bounce right back up. That man didn't put his whole year into this to just give up while riding momentum, getting his numbers, and winning. He got hurt.
What I do know is that certain people have different pain thresholds than others. For instance, my sister in law broke her femur and felt very little pain. She has an extremely high pain threshold. What may be excruciating pain for one person may not be so for another.
Finally somebody ain't afraid to tell it like it is. AD is stealing money from the Lakers, he hasn't even come close to playing half a season in God knows how long. How do people keep talking about how great this dude is.
The new way for alot of superstars in the NBA is to fake an injury as an excuse to why they lost. LeBron did the same thing with his foot in the same game. Ja Morant does it ALL THE TIME in the playoffs when he starts losing. It's trying to give the audience an excuse to why they lost
Ad was the best player for the lakers this series, not only he was good offensively but he also contained joker very well this series, he did not stop jokic but this was not the usual jokic we see
These dudes minus mcchants are lebron nutthuggers or just plain scared to say anything..lebron be flopping and acting like he got killed damn near everytime these dudes refuse to say anything smh
I feel bad for Anthony Davis. Why criticize only AD but when Lebron does it multiple times he gets a pass? Look, injuries happen and do not wish anyone to get hurt but what is Lebron’s excuse?
The funny thing is that last year it was the other shoulder. Message to teammates - You cannot count on me to "shoulder" the burden of carrying us. LOL
AD in the 4th quarters: 3.2 pts 4 rebs 33.3% fg. So yes, he is soft. And this was happening last year too. He doesn't show up when it counts the most - at the end of the game. PS. Joker: 7.6 pts 3.8 rebs 64% fg
My first thought was maybe a shoulder dislocation or subluxation. It can happen again that easily if the person has a history of it and it was healed improperly. I don't know if Anthony does. Minutes later, I threw that idea out because the staff did not respond as if it were. A dislocation is out the window because we'd be able to see that when they zoomed in on him on the bench. Either way, they would've had him in the locker room to be sure there are no tears; especially since he couldn't lift the shoulder. Then if you watch him play afterward, he wouldn't move the arm much while on defense, but he did on offense. So it wasn't as serious as he showed.
Kmart is absolutely right. This IS a character issue. Even if MPJ hit so hard his entire arm fell off...that doesnt warrant writhing on the floor like that...not when you come right back into the game
As a old school NBA fan. I'm 52. Two things 1 I remember the wars the blood.. but more importantly the never say die mentally. Come on Steve Kerr had a fight with Jordan. And Steven was like ohh u will respect me Mike. I joined the army at 30. So u can say I'm fond of toughness. But wtf was this weakness. Damn. All money no heart.
As a young FF/PM I remember going on calls with young, healthy looking guys that were stuck on the floor whining like crazy about the back spasms they were having. We would sometimes joke (out of the patients ear shot) that maybe he needed a “man pill” and too bad we did not carry those in our med box. Fast forward years later when I had developed all sorts of back issues and I never joked about that again, and realized none of the older firefighters ever joked about or doubted someone’s back pain. Not a fan of AD but I will cut him some slack on his health issues.
Ad played 77 regular season games n 5 postseason games shoulder that that sensitive. I think its impressive he made it this far & had one of his best years yet.
Unless you were right there when it happened and you're a medical professional, how could you possibly know the exactness of it all? This equates to the same reason why "eyewitnesses" are often unreliable in court.
So ima break it down like this: He’s playing out of position. He’s not built to play to center. He’s a power forward. He plays with skill and finesse while centers typically clean the boards and get physical. AD has suffered multiple injuries over his career, so now you expect him to play the 5 and bulk up but don’t expect him to get hurt??? Height and weight matters in basketball and this is bound to happen to any forward or guard. Hell lots of people theory monte Ellis having a downfall in the league due to him getting banged up playing the 2 over the years of his run in the nba. I say all that to say: DO NOT BRING BACK DWIGHT, GO GET A DECENT CENTER AND PUT AD BACK AT THE 4
When your shoulder is bad, it takes little to no contact to make it hurt bad.. What I got a problem with, is a bunch of dudes who can't even hold AD jockstrap, questioning his toughness, none of them has ever played at the level that AD does consistently..
That shows just how great LeBron is. In a conversation about AD who has never played more than a 3rd of a season because he’s always injured, yet he’s somehow a top 75 player, everybody here is talking about LeBron.
We have no idea how bad the injury is. Why would he fake an injury. Sometimes a small bump can reinjure something. And a shoulder isn’t something to easily heal or to play through in a basketball game. You can run on a hurt leg, you can’t really shoot shots on a hurt shoulder.

@@JJFX- you're right, great points, I did not think about those.
These have got to be the 2 most ridiculous injuries I've ever seen. Just retire if your body can't handle little stuff like that.
If you are injury prone you shouldn’t be in the league because it’s a waste of money.
It's not how hard it looks... the internal feeling for AD is all that matters. A small guy can hurt you if they catch u off-guard in the right spot.
A small guy can hurt you if you are made of glass 😂
The internal feeling of being charmin ultra soft. You must of missed K-mart's point. Its an elimination game and this dude is rolling around on his stomach crying as if the roof of the arena just fell in on his family.
Even though players are soft today, how can u be bashing a guy that has a long injury history? It’s not like AD is trying to get hurt on purpose.
It's not like he's taking his off-season workouts seriously either. Even Bron tried to get him on the weights more but he just ain't mentally built like that. He just wants to stretch the floor and let somebody else bang in the paint.
KMart during his rookie season broke his leg. Even with broken leg he walked out to get it checked.
If anyone can bash a guy for moaning about injury, it is KMart.
@@EricA-kl7byMan you don't know what that man does in the off season. "Even bron tried to get him to lift more weights", how do you know that? Lebron ain't lifting much weight himself, all he does is shoot up his roids that's about it..
@@jojocapone4861 🙃if you say so champ
@@EricA-kl7byson, don't be smart ass. You know nothing about nothing.
AD has a history with his shoulder
All the better to fake it with
And? He was barely hit
The 1st "injury" was to the R shoulder. Now he's complaining about the L shoulder. Dude is just soft. He could never play during the 80's to early 2000's.
AD stands for Always Down
@@kgar5String he has no problem accepting max contracts knowing he's not durable
In the Grizzlies game Davis was hit in the right shoulder and went down. In the Nuggets game MPJ hit him on his left shoulder. Come on man, both shoulders? Yet he's slammin and jammin all night long. His shoulders can't be that weak.
Kenyon “Do As I Say Not As I Do” Martin lol
Most players are so soft nowadays lol
Softer than wet toilet tissue..
Fans sitting on the couch eating Cheetos calling nba players soft is hilarious.
@chad_b you ain't bout it bruh. You should not be calling people soft.
@@drewbooo fans are comparing current crop of nba players to players from bygone eras. Nobody compares AD with himself lol of course he's an Iron Man compared to myself. But compared to big men 20 or even 10 years ago? Soft as hell
having a soft body/bones doesn't mean that the player is soft. AD still went out there and gave whatever he had. Look at nba players now in their 40s and 50s all limping around
I've had shoulder problems my whole adult life, it didn't happen from the bump by Porter. It happened when he went up with 2 hand to get a rebound and Gordon went under his legs and pushed him from the back. Arms flair shoulder pops . It happened to me before. He never got the surgery
Seriously. The moment I tore my rotator cuff I just continued competing. I knew it was bad, but I wanted to win.
I had over 40 shoulder dislocations, multiple surgeries on both shoulders. One dunking, one being tackled. Most times I’d pop it back in. Never have I rolled on my stomach 😂😂😂
And AD still better than all them bums
I currently have a fractured shoulder and absolutely could not imagine having to do physical activity using my injured arm. I’m a combat vet and like to think I’m a tough cookie but nooo this ish hurts. Every little movement is excruciating.
Love that these guys are criticizing an NBA champion when there’s not a single ring among them.
Exactly
Ring? You calling that Bubblicious title a ring lol? No road games, no pressure, nah that ain't a ring.
@@Poppi-Poppa-Socky it was pure basketball with no distractions it counts maybe even more
@@kevinjohnson963 You sir are hilarious, thanks for the good laugh.
What does a ring have to do with how he acts like a hoe. We would say the same thing playing in the gym. People love giving athletes excuses.
I have a chronic shoulder injury. On many occasions, I thought the shoulder had completely healed. It will flare up at times and reinjure it just by coughing hard or sneezing. So going back to AD, I don't think he's faking it. That shoulder has been banged up.
Each injury is different
Yeah he sounds very ignorant
I need that “It’s just basketball “ shirt 🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣
No way Davis played that hard to fake an injury at that moment. U could clearly see he could barely move it. It doesn't make him soft. His shoulders are just susceptible
His whole body is susceptible. He is made of glass. There’s no way around it. He’s soft.
Your bottle betraying you and you being soft is two different things genius
@@SiriusV21Your conflating 2 diff things... Being soft is a enternal thing. Being made of glass is wear and tear. Was D-Rose soft or Wade as players?
@@denjiurameshi4699 Drose and his load management was definitely soft. Same with Kawhi. AD is both soft and made of glass. Same as those two.
@SiriusV21 bro I bet you just as soft and ad would whoop you lol
The Lakers were done when J said ‘at the end of the day this is just bb”. 😂😂
This is why ignorant people shouldn't have a damn platform.
Too late…the Democrats have the platform.
AD is not a center. Play him a t PF and sign or trade for a quality center..
He’s a hybrid he shown he can do both. You saying that for yourself, or you seen it said before
Agree, but that would be hard to do. Lakers don't have a lot of cap flexibility, plus you have to find a center who can stretch the floor since AD isn't that great from 3.
Only thing missing was the “Wheel Chair”! 😂
Im sorry, but 'street clothes' is one of the greatest and most deserved nicknames of all time. 🏆🤣🤣🤣
That podcast is full of 'tough guys' who did close to nothing on the court.
You gay?
Kenyon Martin was solidified..u trippin
@@kennethbowers6920 at what? Bouncing around teams? What did he win? All star?
AD is wasting his time in L.A! seek a better team.
He's with Klutch Sports. He sold his soul to the devil.
@francistein8409 ...The Chicago Bulls is a fantastic move!
He had a great season and lives through more than most everyone.
The reaction was crazy though, call ne naive but that looked like a lot of pain for what seened innocuous.
It's not about how hard it looks, sometimes your body shuts down on you. See it in every sport. Sometimes the worst injuries don't look like much, but the huge hits does nothing to guys, they bounce right back up. That man didn't put his whole year into this to just give up while riding momentum, getting his numbers, and winning. He got hurt.
A Shoulder is a delicate joint and can easily be injured when in a nuetral position
PLEASE, it's NOT as delicate as you're making it out to be, that's for damned sure!
You are right. Many who haven’t injured shoulder don’t know. It’s like a car accident.
Ok Dr Phil 😂
A shoulder is not a joint
What I do know is that certain people have different pain thresholds than others. For instance, my sister in law broke her femur and felt very little pain. She has an extremely high pain threshold. What may be excruciating pain for one person may not be so for another.
Jesus Christ loves you and wants a relationship with you.
Finally somebody ain't afraid to tell it like it is. AD is stealing money from the Lakers, he hasn't even come close to playing half a season in God knows how long. How do people keep talking about how great this dude is.
It amaze me how lebron do the samething and nobody say anything
man stop lebron is 40 ad is 30 lebron was not faking injuries at 30
It amazes me how much free space LeBron occupies in that thumb shaped head of yours.
what are you even talking about?
Just proved my point
@@stebbiej you never had a point to begin with joe. Be quiet.
The new way for alot of superstars in the NBA is to fake an injury as an excuse to why they lost. LeBron did the same thing with his foot in the same game. Ja Morant does it ALL THE TIME in the playoffs when he starts losing. It's trying to give the audience an excuse to why they lost
How they call out AD on this but not Lebron?
Dude acts like he gets shot anytime someone breathes on him.
Ad was the best player for the lakers this series, not only he was good offensively but he also contained joker very well this series, he did not stop jokic but this was not the usual jokic we see
but he wasnt reliable when it counted and when they needed him most
AD is Mr. Glass. I've never seen a softer big man in history of basketball
ok little johnny
AD was pathetic to go down like that.. I had to sit through a commercial break for him to stand up WTF
Where this energy be at when LeBron be flopping all over the place like he died came back and died again? 😂 😂 😂
These dudes minus mcchants are lebron nutthuggers or just plain scared to say anything..lebron be flopping and acting like he got killed damn near everytime these dudes refuse to say anything smh
I feel bad for Anthony Davis. Why criticize only AD but when Lebron does it multiple times he gets a pass? Look, injuries happen and do not wish anyone to get hurt but what is Lebron’s excuse?
Lakers are dramaqueens! I’m not a Laker fan but damn, I miss Kobe’s time with the team.
had a vacation booked already. didn't want to miss it
Only immature people and haters make fun of another mans injury
Who said he was injured?
@@EricA-kl7by 😂
The funny thing is that last year it was the other shoulder. Message to teammates - You cannot count on me to "shoulder" the burden of carrying us. LOL
Glaring to LeBron. Lol. He probably taught him how to do it
🤡
There is a saying “ You are as great as the one that is leading you” …
LeBronze told him fake an injury so that they can lame it on not being healthy in the post game interviews. 💀💀
As a Cincinnatian Kenyon Martin will forever be a star in my eyes
Kenyon is a bum..
Said this once and got banned by a channel but I'm finna say it again: AD wife must really love him for how much he goes down 😅
AD in the 4th quarters: 3.2 pts 4 rebs 33.3% fg. So yes, he is soft. And this was happening last year too. He doesn't show up when it counts the most - at the end of the game.
PS. Joker: 7.6 pts 3.8 rebs 64% fg
My first thought was maybe a shoulder dislocation or subluxation. It can happen again that easily if the person has a history of it and it was healed improperly. I don't know if Anthony does. Minutes later, I threw that idea out because the staff did not respond as if it were. A dislocation is out the window because we'd be able to see that when they zoomed in on him on the bench. Either way, they would've had him in the locker room to be sure there are no tears; especially since he couldn't lift the shoulder.
Then if you watch him play afterward, he wouldn't move the arm much while on defense, but he did on offense. So it wasn't as serious as he showed.
Thank you
Look at him...is the realist thing I ever heard. GET TF UP!
I AM GLAD SOMEBODY ADDRESSED THIS BECAUSE I AM NEW TO WATCHING THE GAME AND SEEING THAT I LAUGHED...
100% ACTING LIKE A CHILD..
The guys in today’s game are bigger, stronger and faster than ever but they still lack the toughness of old.
Kmart is absolutely right. This IS a character issue. Even if MPJ hit so hard his entire arm fell off...that doesnt warrant writhing on the floor like that...not when you come right back into the game
As a old school NBA fan. I'm 52. Two things 1 I remember the wars the blood.. but more importantly the never say die mentally. Come on Steve Kerr had a fight with Jordan. And Steven was like ohh u will respect me Mike. I joined the army at 30. So u can say I'm fond of toughness. But wtf was this weakness. Damn. All money no heart.
As a young FF/PM I remember going on calls with young, healthy looking guys that were stuck on the floor whining like crazy about the back spasms they were having. We would sometimes joke (out of the patients ear shot) that maybe he needed a “man pill” and too bad we did not carry those in our med box. Fast forward years later when I had developed all sorts of back issues and I never joked about that again, and realized none of the older firefighters ever joked about or doubted someone’s back pain. Not a fan of AD but I will cut him some slack on his health issues.
Against the Grizzlies, it was his right shoulder. Against the Nuggets, it was his left shoulder.. Maybe he just has bilateral shoulder issues... 🤔
AD is so tender that It actually hurts.
Never seen a grown man fall to the floor from a hit on the shoulder.
I had a torn rotater and kept playing with it for months. It finally got to where I couldn't lift my arm
Ad played 77 regular season games n 5 postseason games shoulder that that sensitive. I think its impressive he made it this far & had one of his best years yet.
That's why they call this the weakest generation ever. Celebrating mediocrity...
He's shoulder was f up before that bro, put thinks into context. He played amazing
Unless you were right there when it happened and you're a medical professional, how could you possibly know the exactness of it all? This equates to the same reason why "eyewitnesses" are often unreliable in court.
I’m so glad to hear what the one time all star, never won nothing Keyon Martin has to say about competition and playing morals.
I understand people are passionate and competitive, but you aren't at or going war. You're playing basketball...a game.
I don’t think that he's faking, he's just fragile. He was always hurt with the Pelicans, sports isn't for the fragile.
So ima break it down like this:
He’s playing out of position. He’s not built to play to center. He’s a power forward. He plays with skill and finesse while centers typically clean the boards and get physical. AD has suffered multiple injuries over his career, so now you expect him to play the 5 and bulk up but don’t expect him to get hurt??? Height and weight matters in basketball and this is bound to happen to any forward or guard. Hell lots of people theory monte Ellis having a downfall in the league due to him getting banged up playing the 2 over the years of his run in the nba. I say all that to say: DO NOT BRING BACK DWIGHT, GO GET A DECENT CENTER AND PUT AD BACK AT THE 4
When your shoulder is bad, it takes little to no contact to make it hurt bad.. What I got a problem with, is a bunch of dudes who can't even hold AD jockstrap, questioning his toughness, none of them has ever played at the level that AD does consistently..
That shows just how great LeBron is. In a conversation about AD who has never played more than a 3rd of a season because he’s always injured, yet he’s somehow a top 75 player, everybody here is talking about LeBron.
Facts...NBA finals game 7...Lebron comments and Topics incoming.These mf's are annoying
AD channeling his inner Michael Jackson with that interview
The NBA is the new soccer
So you saying AD got an issue on both shoulders?
they need to have a betting category on when AD will get injured. every damn year
Anthony Davis being a ' Gentleman ' volunteered to be a broom so they can ' Sweep ' the area 😁😁👍👍🏀🏀
We have no idea how bad the injury is. Why would he fake an injury. Sometimes a small bump can reinjure something. And a shoulder isn’t something to easily heal or to play through in a basketball game.
You can run on a hurt leg, you can’t really shoot shots on a hurt shoulder.
Wasnt kenyon injury prone?
