Big man Zion shoe just explode !

Very true. But even with that these big men like Porzingis can't stay fit. We don't have an example of someone like Zion actually working out long term, I dont think, in basketball (of course I guess there hasnt been one). I mean what is his most natural athletic mirror, someone like Julius Peppers? Lebron is taller, leaner, and weighs less. Barkley and LJ were both 30 lbs lighter. Will be interesting to see and I certainly hope for the best. I enjoy watching him in college more than anyone I can remember that wasn't on "my" team.
And there's different grades of a sprain, ranging from microscopic tears (grade I) to overt tears (grade III), that are, again, usually obvious on physical exam in terms of the ability of the knee joint to support your weight. If they're saying that he has a "mild knee sprain" and that the knee is "stable", then he most likely was able to bear weight on it when they examined him after the injury, which is a good sign leading into the MRI. The specificity and sensitivity of these physical exam tests are not 100% (hence part of the reason for the MRI), but they do exist for a reason.
As someone currently dealing with an MCL injury I wish him the best. Such an obnoxious injury. It's a pain in the ass to find a brace that doesn't put excess pressure on that area. Ultimately, I had to settle for just compression. It's also frustrating when you think you've made strides (fine working out, no pain resting) just to get up, take a few steps, and feel like your knee is going to explode again.
'Cuse fan here. This post is gross.

Had this happen to me as well multiple times. I find Nike's quality to be shit these days/past years
The only Nike's I buy these days are the Free's for casual gym wear.
Looks like Syracuse fans now have bigger (and darker) concerns:

Yeah, Barkley was the only point of comparison I could really think of and that isn't a perfect one.
I've always thought there was more risk in the KP or Yao Ming types of freakishly tall big men than with heavier guys, but I guess we will find out with Zion.
That's horrible. I'm not excusing it by any means but the weather was disgusting last night. It was all ice and wind and we've been in a weather advisory since Monday.
Nike just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Duke culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in UNC where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over at Duke, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is that Duke fans, after seeing this, is not going to want to purchase Nike for sneakers, nor will they purchase any of Nike's apparel. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Nike has alienated an entire market with this move.
Nike, publicly apologize and cancel the contract with Zion or you can kiss your business goodbye.
