Lets hear about your bball injuries.

[pauls931]

Sprained both ankles.
Dislocated finger twice, same game.
Going to have an MRI monday thanks to a dumbass on my own team jumping below me right into my gut and clipping my knee when I was going for a rebound (probably meniscus tear).*

*type of guy that goes as low as he can into the key then jumps up with as much force as he can to create space knocking people away from him.

So what kinds of stuff have happened to yourselves out there?

[Texas_Ranger]

Today a piece of wood fell on my finger and it looks like my nail will fall off cause it's all black and it hurts pretty much. It sucks that tomorrow I have a basketball game to play.

[Pelicans78]

Sprained an ankle a couple of times. That's about it. My older brother tore an ACL once. I usually pace myself out there and play at 3/4 speed.

Not quite what I was expecting, but yeah that sucks.

[Hooks]

I stopped playing bball because I got injured way too much.

list of injuries from 7th grade to my freshman year:

-Sprained left and right ankle.
-broken ring finger
-broken index left hand
-broken index right hand.
-Broken left ankle.

[Muser]

2 broken fingers.

[Giuseppe]

I had a double coronary when Vuj got fouled late in Game 7. I woke up on the basement floor of Luva's house (well, it's his mother's house) with Kool bent over me trying to give me mouth to mouth.

Needless to say it was false angina brought on by Kori's kicking Luva out and Kobe's indecision whether to pass to Artest, or launch a howitzer there late in......uh, Game 7.

yea, sorry. I guess I didn't see ''bball'' there. :downspin:

I do have one bball injury. Last Friday I played ball and I got hit with a knee in my right foot's quadriceps. First it was fine, but the next day I couldn't walk cause of the pain. It still hurts when I run but it's much better.

[Bito Corleone]

Torn ligaments in both ankles.

Three cracked vertebrae in my lower spine (L4, L5, S1) - Had to quit playing b/c of this one

Broken every finger I have except my right ring finger.

Back injuries suck. I once came down on the back of both heels with my back straight. Basically my spine was pile drived. Hurt like hell and to this day I can still feel it a bit. This one is going to haunt me later in life.

[benefactor]

My knee is pretty much bone on bone, but I'm still destroying my rec league. Warrior tbh.

[Giuseppe]

I creid a million tears one time in June of '84. Does that count?

Ya, they are no fun. Mine actually happened in a scrimmage my freshman year in HS. Went up for a rebound and one of my team mates clipped my knee with his shoulder. I basically fell 5 feet straight onto the small of my back.

[Venti Quattro]

Omg Kobe-like :cry

[Cry Havoc]

Hairline thumb fracture.

Split forehead. (caught an elbow after a guy shot a three and I was running to cover him.


Three sprains of my right ankle -- the last one severe enough that I couldn't walk on it for 3 weeks.

Still going strong. Changed shoes, and haven't sprained my ankle in 5-6 years. :tu

[Trainwreck2100]

hairline fracture on my pinky , got a screw. Sprained my ankle so much the scar tissue that developed put me in physical therapy for a couple months

[TE]

Severely sprained ankles, both of them.

Bumped heads with some pathetic retarded scrub who got in my way when I was trying to lay up the ball on a fastbreak. I subsequently got a concussion.



I've also sprained my two thumbs and index fingers.

[VBM]

Tendinitis in my right knee during senior year in college. Annoying and only really hurt after playing ball until it magically went away about a year after it started.

Grade 2 right calf sprain this past July. First real injury playing ball and first sign of getting old. I was running down the court on a fast break and then it felt like someone kicked me in the back of the leg. I also heard the pop that NBA players talk about. It felt like a leg cramp after that....just one that didn't go away for a few weeks.

[Koolaid_Man]

Sprained both ankles.
Dislocated finger twice, same game.

[Giuseppe]

I shocked my tongue lickin' VBM's video loop. Does that count?

[Flux451]

I rebounded over this tall dude and landed on his foot...sprained ankle. After that never fully regained jumpin ability.

I can sit here on my dead ass hours on end, but, do you think I have the patience to sit in a theater for an hour & a half? No way.

[Donkeybong]

Sprained both ankles (on separate occasions) so bad, where i've had to use crutches. Also minor fracture to my elbow because i had my arm extended and fell back on it Only put my in a slang for a couple of weeks. A bunch of jammed fingers.

[Darrin]

I've dislocated a finger and sprained both ankles. That's about it.

[Veterinarian]

Plus why go out when you've also got a DVR filled reruns of The Wonder Years sitting at home?!

[pauls931]

Forgot one of my more insulting ones.

I was guarding a guy in the post, he then jumps ramming his shoulder into my chin knocking me down. He made the shot and got the and one (req league). I then was dribbling back up the court and noticed something dripping on my hand. Ya, blood from where the guy hit me with his shoulder. I guess the refs were pissed that I fouled his shoulder with my chin... 5 stitches on the under side of my chin.

[Chachachango]

Ya have soft bodies. I never got injured maybe because I never got any playing time
:depressed :lol

[MavDynasty]

Rolling my ankle multiple times and jammed fingers. Nothing to serious tbh

[Venti Quattro]

Rolling my ankle multiple times and jammed fingers. Nothing to serious tbh

[Red Hawk #21]

Let's see I've had some knee tendinitis from playing ball with ankle weights for too long.
Some Sprained Ankles here and there.
One time I had small blister on my hand, and when I dunked the ball the blister popped and blood started gushing. It hurt like hell, but it had a pretty cool effect. People were like "That kid dunked so hard his hand started bleeding" lol.
And I consistently jam my fingers for some reason, I probably need to get it checked out because they jam so easily.

[Fpoonsie]

Only my pride...(multiple times)

[Red Hawk #21]

Nowadays when I play ball it's just straight up Jumpshooting or floaters. There was a time when I used to look to attack the rim consistently, and I would always get beat up mid-air. Then when I call foul, I'll either hear "Nah, That wasn't even a foul!! That was just good D!" or "You're mad big! Man up, son!". Some people think because I'm 6'1 that I'm "Mad big" and for that reason they can punch me in my face when I attempt layups. I'm Jumpshooting from now on.

[rickross]

rolled ankles tbh.. dats when when I started takin care, learned how to board properly n shyt. Stats went up, no more injuries xcept for fingers/bruises/usual unworthy shit.

But when im playin wit unknown niggas I give dem da killa look first and if dey start playin douchy i play like bill laimbeer and shaq all in one.

Inflict much more than u receive nigga, dats my motto. Go out dere n show dem niggas who da bawss.

Son a post game is DA way to go in rec games wit nasty mofaccas.

[Dex]

I guess I've been really fortunate. All I've ever really had to deal with is a few rolled/minor sprained ankles. I also overextended my right knee one time and for months every time I would play, it would get sore and start to to click, so I had to start wearing a brace for a while and it eventually played its way out.

[Fpoonsie]

Oh, and fuck Shoot Em Up for turning the easy :lol, :lmao, and :rollin into pure faggotry.

Now, if I wanna laugh at, say, one of Cubby's jokes in this thread, I hafta give a fucking explanation or some shit.

I hope you asphyxiate on the next dick you shove down that cum-crusted depository you call a mouth.

[hobbler]

I sprained my left wrist real bad once and it fucked my whole game up. It mostly hurt me when I had the ball because I had to roll the wheel with my right hand and dribble with my weak left hand. Took a while to get used to.

[Jt.ONE]

i once hurt my elbow and had to shoot free throws left handed :cry:cry

[tlongII]

Torn patellar tendon in my left knee.

Sprained both ankles.

Torn tendon in my right pinkie.

Shin splints.

Broken right big toe from playing street ball when my foot kicked the curb. Also needed 8 stitches in my chin from falling and hitting the curb when playing street ball.

All in all not too bad. It's a young man's game though and I don't play much anymore.

u stanky lying fat ass 400lb muthafucker...I doubt you can get up and down the court...u the nigga sitting on the sidelines with the greasy box of Popeyes and Creme filled Donuts...:lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Sprained fingers(nursing one atm), rolled ankles, all the regular shit.

I also fucked up my foot a while back, and still feel it every time I play because I never got it checked out.

Tendonitis in left knee, just requires a brace....that's pretty much it.

[lil_penny]

broke my wrist while going up for a oop, fucker bumped me in the air!

[VBM]

inb4 the "blazer fans have the worst injuries crofl" jokes

[HarlemHeat37]

I've sprained my ankles around 15 times, the worst being torn ligaments in each..I never went to physio until recently, which was obviously a bad idea..I have to wear braces on each ankle now..

I've broken fingers twice, I've messed up the bone in my palm..

The worst "injury" I've had was a concussion, which resulted in the loss of my memory for around 24 hours, which was scary as fuck..

[rickross]

just cracked some ribs once and twisted my ankle so hard once it popped and i thought i broke it. put me out of commission for about a month that's the only serious one i've had though.

since all da otha posters in here is dwade/jump shooter niggas wit da exception of koolaid who a cheerleader i'd like 2 ask u my nigg tyson if u play like a mayne and fuck dem niggas hard n show em who da big daddy on da court. Dam son, every team needs a nigga who know how da handle business on da block.

[lil_penny]

inb4 the "blazer fans have the worst injuries crofl" jokes

:lol

[rickross]

naw im a SG imho i just drive and spot up no midrange game

I mean honestly I get ten times more pumped when i do a power dunk or block da shit of a shot and den stare down at a nigga in shock. Makes me plow harder if u know wat im sayin:lol

[xellos88330]

Countless ankle sprains, dislocated shoulder, torn meniscus both knees.

[resistanze]

- Avulsion fracture on index finger
- Sprained ankles
- Hyper-extended eblow

[jimo2305]

i sprained my ankle last night actually.. landed on it after going up for a rebound and everyone on the court heard the crack.. i was so pissed off because i have a game tomorrow.. it looks like i won't get any playing time unless it feels miraculously better tomorrow

[sribb43]

Never been hurt other than minor sprains but 3 weeks ago I was driving to the basket and felt a pop in the back of my calf. It literaly felt like someone kick me in the calf or a rock was thrown at it. I turned around to see who kick me and not a sole was behind me.

ive heard stories about a pop in the back of the leg and I feared it was my achilies. Lucky for me it was only a torn calf muscle but Im currently on on crutches and wearing a boot. Its been 3 weeks and I still cant put any weight on it. I'm going to be out for a while and it going to be a bitch when I am able to play bc my right side is going to be so damn weak and my left side is going to be so overworked.

Being on crutches and boot fuckin' blows....

[Dunc n Dave]

Besides the occasional ankle sprain and muscle strain:

-Torn Right ACL in HS from making a quick cut (still wear a brace to this day when I play)
-Last year torn meniscus in left knee on my birthday, had it scoped and was playing again 6 weeks after surgery (always been a fast healer)
-Busted nose twice in the last year from guarding a guy too close and getting an elbow to the face. One was from a JuCo player who was 6'5 and 250 to my 6'1" and 210. Thought it was broken, since it bled for 5 hours non-stop, but everything checked out.

See my post earlier. Sounds like you got a grade 3 strain. You're probably already past the pool of blood at the bottom of your foot stage. With my grade 2 sprain, it was sore for about a month-month 1/2, then the achilles felt weird for a bit after compensating for the calf. After about 2 months, you should be back to hooping with a calf wrap though.

[MannyIsGod]

8 stitch cut above my eye from an elbow rebounding. Broken nose from an elbow rebounding. 0294-28402849028409820982094820429 spained ankles and knees. 32482084290842048094280429840928028490248420982409 824092840492824 jammed fingers. 2 hairline fractures in fingers (one that I thought was a bad jam and just kept playing for weeks - oops).

TBH I'm getting old and have probably started to get arthritis because some of my joints hurt for weeks after playing a few months ago. My shoulder especially which is odd since I never remember hurting it badly like my knees and ankles.

[jjktkk]

Tore my ankle ligaments.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

get it? cuz manny was young 10 years ago



this one time we were all getting fucked up at a pool lounge and I kept calling thispego out for sucking ass at basketball....and he cajoled me into playing 1on1 after we left and I was drunk. As I jumped up to block the shit out of him, I landed on my right ankle inwards...heard a loud "POP". Turns out I broke my ankle...which is basically a high grade sprain. Still hasn't been the same to this day. Gotta wear a brace whenever I want to ball (which is never, these days).

Pretty confident its a grade 3. It had to have almost been a complete tear. Its still pretty sore but when it first happened the calf was so sensitive that if i touched it or bumped it in anyway it hurt like a bitch. Doctor cant really do anything for me, just says dont put any weight on it and keep using the crutches and boot.

Can't walk, can't hoop, can't lift :depressed
