Top-10 DUMBEST Injuries in NBA History

[@oscardekadt]

i have to say i respect Larry Bird for being so humble and caring for his family, but should have been more careful who know how his legacy would have changed if de didn't injure is back

[@okiksotam6763]

Oh really?!

[@oscardekadt]

@@okiksotam6763 yea man, not only he retired early but his las years where in pain, he defenetly could have had a even mor impressive carrer without the injury

[@Alex_Off-Beat]

The whole way the 80's Celtics dynasty ended is just tragic

[@andreasdietzel5560]

C'mon, what you gonna do next? Hire someone to get the cereal bowls off the top shelf? That's just bad luck really. He was much more likely to injure his spine playing basketball or lifting weights. Just look at all those crippled post-career athletes. Sure some of them made a fortune but traded in their health

[@wobbafett2464]

I don't take his injury as a negative just shows you his character and his upbringing

[@MasterJ30]

How bout the time when Tony Allen decided to show off and pull some dunk even tho timeout was called and got injured, he could've easily avoid that since the game was in a timeout

[@pao_banaag]

Really enjoyed this, A.M. these types of videos are a nice complement to your hoop news videos

[@bracebrooks967]

You forgot Amare Stoudemire with the Knicks back in the 2012 Nba playoffs vs. Miami. After a game 2 loss he was so upset that he punched a glass box holding a fire extinguisher cutting his hand causing him to miss game 3. At least he was back for game 4 which New York won.

[@jbthestoner5504]

Also Kevin Love losing his fight against a folding chair that broke his arm

[@bracebrooks967]

@@jbthestoner5504 I didn't know about that story. I saw him hit a chair before in anger, but it didn't result in his arm getting broken. I'm guessing that story you referenced took place back when he was with Minnesota.

[@jbthestoner5504]

@@bracebrooks967 nah it was just a couple seasons ago in Cleveland. Lebron and Kyrie were ready gone and no one was paying attention to the cavs or Kevin Love lol

[@bracebrooks967]

@@jbthestoner5504 oh well that case that must have been the video clip I saw of him hitting that chair. It didn't look like he injured himself afterwards from what I remember. Anyway, Kevin needs to leave the cavs. He's been stuck there too long. At his age he should be on a playoff or championship contending team and let the new young core develop.

Kevin Johnson had a pregame ritual that eventually ruined his back. He would lift his 200+ lbs teammate (a 7 ft center) before every game he had to retire early

Oliver Miller. And he was 300 lbs.

What about Jay Williams from Duke? His health was his asset, but he didn't care , went out at Night on a motorcycle 🏍 without a helmet and speed knowing that would violate his nba contract .He crashed and the bulls released him one month later . He will go down in NBA history as one of the dumbest 👦 guy ever.

[@YuShawStang]

I remeber a basketball megzine having Jay Williams and Yao Ming on the cover, who are the top 2 draft picks in 2002. It is such a shame. But I am glad to see Jay Williams to be a good ESPN analysis eventually.

Low key I feel like bird would have an actual goat case or at least a top 3 oat case if he didn’t get hurt

[@GoatPopsicle]

Maybe if he played defence on at least on 1990-91 injured Magic’s level. Even in his prime he was known as a Jokic-level defender. You can’t be in the GOAT conversation without playing both ends of the court. Plus, his *cheating of the draft laws* in collusion with the Celtics and Celtics alumni in the league office, is an automatic DQ. Especially when compared to GOATs of other eras like Mr.Russell and Kareem carried themselves. Also add in: Larry Bird’s blackballing of journalists who dared ask about his teammates and team fans chanting racist epithets & songs at opposing black players. The chants were so regular, the broadcasters intentionally gave the Celtics less National games, kept the games on a 10 second delay to cut audio, and had a backup commentary team inside a soundproof booth. If Bird played the same way today, he would have a worse reputation than KD, Kyrie, and Simmons put together.

Carlos Boozer missed the start of his first Bulls Season for breaking his hand taking out the trash and falling

"We gonna have random videos like this" Or you could do a video about...I don't know...the European Championship: Fiba Eurobasket 2022. Great games, a lot of familiar faces (Luka for Slovenia, Gobert and Evan Fournier for France, Jokic for Serbia, Giannis for Greece (well, the last two got eliminated)). And man, really great games! I think it would be pretty interesting, if you would point out the differences between the Eurobasket and the NBA. The rules, the refereeing, the play styles,...

Addition: Doncic is also out. Against a Polish team with some good players but without real superstars. Certainly also a not uninteresting narrative: why do Giannis, Jokic, Doncic, probably 3 of the 5 best players in the NBA currently, not manage to lift their national teams to the next level?
