RIP Rudy Gay..

[HarlemHeat37]

Ruptured Achilles, out for season..his effectiveness will probably be finished, tbh..

What a career, maybe the biggest on-court cancer of all-time, despite being a pretty well-rounded overall player:lol

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

Has anyone this talented ever had such abject failure at winning games? Derrick Coleman came to mind but even he got to the playoffs a handful of times.

[Clipper Nation]

In :lol yesterday's NBA, Gay would be a GOAT candidate. In today's NBA, he's a selfish chucker.

It's strange, because Gay isn't even really bad at anything:lol..

He's been a pretty decent defender for most of his career, good scorer, not a horrible passer, etc..teams just always get worse when he joins them and better when he leaves for whatever reason..

I've also never heard of him being a bad teammate, either..

Something about being born Gay I suppose.

Couldn't wait 10 minutes and let Lefty have this one, uh?:lol

I always thought the same thing about him and would rack my brain trying to think of someone like that, maybe some of the good Mavs players of the late 80s/90s dark days. Maybe someone who was a career journeyman who was a solid player like Jim Jackson, but he was only a 18+ ppg scorer for the first 5 years of his career. It's really hard to miss the POs for a bulk of your career in a league where more than half the squads make the POs annually. If there had to be comparisons, I dunno, maybe:

Carter
McGrady
Wilkins
Al Jefferson
Corey Magette
Kevin Love would be the only person really comparable to Rudy before he was bailed out of his situation by the Cavs and gifted a spot on a title team.

No I had to jump on it, I saw Lefty poised to strike.

the idea that the grizzlies made the right call by getting rid of his is one of the funniest misconceptions in today's nba. He'll be fine. Ruptured achilles is a massively overrated injury.

being no small accomplishment, raven is the least intelligent poster ive seen on spurstalk, but hides behind the fact that he's a fan of the spurs/patriots and thinks the team success gives him credibility as a poster

???? Almost nobody ever fully bounces back from a ruptured Achilles. Dominique Wilkins is maybe the only guy ever. Wes Matthews is second place by default, and even he really isn't anywhere close to his pre-injury level.

[Raven]

How?
well, for starters in many cases it doesn't even need surgery and yet it is being spoken of as a career killer even though in most cases it heals just fine.

That almost never happens, and if you did 2 minutes of Googling before posting, you wouldn't look this stupid.

Bet what? That you're not stupid? Already missed that one, bud.

First off, define "just fine". Second, Rudy Gay becoming the second player in NBA history to fully bounce back from an Achilles injury doesn't make your statement any less stupid.
