Remember the trainer in Portland who was supposed to take care of Brandon Roy and Greg Oden? I read an article by a kinesiologist who went to examine them (their joint functions and way of moving) and who warned that trainer about their biomechanical imbalances (in their ankles). The trainer would not take it serious and therefore did nothing to adress it. We all saw what happend to these guys.

I remember when Kenyon Martin got hurt and this happened I can relate to it. I was very happy and relieved that he found the right doctor and end up playing more NBA basketball 👍🏾. On the other hand I can relate to it I having a torn patella, chewed up meniscus, repositioning of my heel and extension of my achilles tendon. Doctors as far as I'm concerned with butchers and they basically experimental. Wish I was in a position as you brothers were to avoid better doctors but thank God you all made it and Hall of famers in my eyes. As a basketball player who never got that far but always in my love the game. To God be the glory I've had a total of 20 surgeries major 😇😇🙏.

I never thought about half the stuff they were talking about. How athletes just disappear after injuries and how they can be mean during recovery. I had to bust out laughing when homie said he would choose his mom over his girl. Why?! Why. His girl I am sure loves him and wants to be there and take care of him. It just shows how sometimes men and women think about situations differently.

Respect, it seems to me worst emotional and physically for professional athletes after listening to their life experiences. I Tore my Achilles years ago as amateur player capable of dunking, took a lot to learn to walk, learn how to drive a car braking and accelerate with opposite foot because since I was in College and got paid to be there no choice but to go to school on one leg couldn’t just take time off, needed to get paid. The mental battle is challenging it’s not just the physical side. The mental battle beats you down after seeing your calf muscle years later, I’m still low key mad at the lack of strength and shape of my calf muscle!
