Look what happened to Kobe..dude was never the same after he tore his Achilles
Look what happened to Kobe..dude was never the same after he tore his Achilles
Some of the best doctors in the world cleared this nigga to play when it was obvious he wasn't gonna be ready. Fucking trash.
The Warriors failed him. No way he should've been out there, especially on the eve of free agency. That team don't give a fuck about him.
Kevin Durant injury is achilles related. Look at how low that ice bag is. Expect a rupture of his achilles tendon soon. Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor but I took contemporary health
I remember Marino describe it like a curtain getting pulled and shooting up quickly. That was..... pretty graphic. Hope he comes back strong.
So sorry to see. As a Raptors fan. And shame on those who celebrated this in the arena
Amen.Best doctors in the world paid for by the owner of the team
This is why Leonard was right to sit out last year. Fuck team doctors
Kobe already had too many injuries by the time he tore his achilles.Look what happened to Kobe..dude was never the same after he tore his Achilles
It's one of the most painful injuries usually. Having said that, I've seen some of my buddies on the ground crying after tearing their ACL's and I've seen others walk it off. I think each injury is a case-by-case event.Is it painful? Because he didn't look like he was ever in any pain while on the court. Or does he just have a high pain threshold?
KD's could have been avoided had he just sat out the rest of the Finals.What is going on with star players with ruptured Achilles. John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, and now KD have all had the course of their careers altered by this in the span of season. The last one was Kobe and before that it had been a while since a star got hit with an Achilles tear. Crazy
Yep. This injury will reverberate for decades. He was obviously not ready but macho sports culture of self sacrifice won out. No blaming KD, but the whole culture of "sacrifice" that is prevalent in pro sports.This 100% validated everything Kawhi did with the Spurs. Fuck team doctors. Only come back if you feel ready.

The whole thing is so idiotic. It makes so angry.
Doesn't make any sense. How much money is KD worth to the Warriors with a potential career ending injury? These teams need some sort of risk/benefit analysis expert on payroll.The whole thing is so idiotic. It makes so angry.
He didn't see active play for a month! And they drop him in the intensity of the Finals in an elimination game? What the heck?!
That wouldn't help. It's all macho bullshit sports culture.Doesn't make any sense. How much money is KD worth to the Warriors with a potential career ending injury? These teams need some sort of risk/benefit analysis expert on payroll.
Other than the lay person's common sense connecting the calf injury to this, is there medical reason to believe his return (edit: early return from the specific injury) significantly increased the chances of popping an Achilles tendon?Heads need to roll for this shit
Meyers, the doctors, whoever else is culpable

No, they dont and they shouldn't. Its tragic, but it's also stupid to some extent on his part. He will still get a max deal, watch some team risk it (knicks), develop young players and then insert him for 2021. Evrn if turns into a stretch 4 with less dynamic movement he can "Dirk" it to 4 straight all star games still.
I think your first point is it. The weakness in the calf exposed the Achilles.Other than the lay person's common sense connecting the calf injury to this, is there medical reason to believe his return significantly increased the chances of popping an Achilles tendon?
I'm asking honestly.
The Player Association need to demand invesgation for this.Heads need to roll for this shit
Meyers, the doctors, whoever else is culpable
I don't think it's even the Achilles it's just overcompensating causes issue. Like when OBJ played on a high ankle sprain for 5 weeks and then his ankle shattered.Other than the lay person's common sense connecting the calf injury to this, is there medical reason to believe his return significantly increased the chances of popping an Achilles tendon?
I'm asking honestly.
What's weird is that GS is seen as a very methodical organization when it comes to player health. But of late, they've been making tons of mistakes.The Player Association need to demand invesgation for this.
Hopefully Lebron/CP3 silence in twitter of this because theyre prepping concrete step to demand action.
GS FO is on fucking roll after Mark Stevens accident and this.
Really wasn't worth it. We potentially just lost one of the 10 greatest players of all time for 11 points.KD's could have been avoided had he just sat out the rest of the Finals.
