Parker: " I (still) want to play three more seasons, do the 20 seasons with Spurs"

[sasaint]

SF Cedric Ceballos, 1996-97, age 27, Lakers/SunsPartial tear of the right patellar tendon in November 1996, expected to be out 2 months. He got reactivated in January, but it continued to bother him throughout the season missing several more games with a strained patella in March after a trade to the Suns. He continued to have s ome problems with his right knee (meniscus) and especially his wrists over the following years. Some drop in production, though he did have another strong season with the Mavericks in 1999-00.

PF Antonio McDyess, 2001-2003, age 27-29, Nuggets: Several fractures and tearsSubluxated left patella in March 2001 (partial/incomplete dislocation). Missed remainder of the season. Initially there was no surgery, then in October 2001 he required surgery to repair what was then diagnosed as a partially torn patellar tendon. In addition he needed arthroscopic surgery on the right knee to clean out some loose debris and was expected to be out 3-4 months. In March 2002 he briefly got activated, but was deactivated quickly again when both knees got inflamed.Next season: Joining the Knicks that offseason, he was immediately placed on the injured list with a "left knee inflammation", and then in October required another surgery to repair a fracture to the left patella. In April 2003 he needed yet another surgery on the left knee patella missing the entire 2002-03 season.When finally returning to action, he played in 42 games in 2003-04 season. Then continued to play several seasons completely or close to. His statistics dropped significantly across the board before going up slightly again but never back to previous state. However as of now he is still active as a rotation player.

SF Glen Rice, 2001-02, age 34, RocketsPartial tear in December required surgery on right knee a month later, out for the remainder of the season.Next season: Appeared in 62 games, but he continued to have some problems with the right knee (strain, hyperextension, bruise). His stats dropped slightly, and at age 36 he was reaching his career end the following season where he appeared in his last 18 games.

PG Damon Stoudemire, 2005-06, age 32, GrizzliesSurgery on torn right patellar tendon in January 2006 after injuring it just before the end of the year, out for remainder of the season.He already had suffered from what was deemed 'left knee tendinitis' a decade earlier when on the Raptors missing the end of the 1995-96 season without going into detail which tendon. While with the Blazers he missed much of November with 2001 right knee tendinitis.Next season: Played in 62 games. Stats dropped to level from a few years earlier while about maintaining efficiency. Career end after 2007-08 season where he played in another 60 games.

C Alonzo Mourning, 2007, age 37, HeatSurgery on right knee to repair torn patellar tendon after 25 games, out for remainder of the season.Update: He had already sustained a partial tear in the left knee in 1997 pausing for ca. 3 months (initial diagnosis was 8 to 12 weeks), and missed a few games in December 2004 with 'right knee tendinitis'.Next season: Ended career

SG Kelenna Azubuike, 2009, age 26, WarriorsTorn patellar tendon in left knee after having appeared in 9 games, out for the season. In the video of the injury it looked like someone had beaten him out of mid-air with a bat when he tried to go up on a drive to the basket.

Please don't encourage him.

[MultiTroll]

Please don't encourage him.

LOL I'm sure you noticed two of those 5 ended up being Spurs.
Per Pops "must be over 30 and declining" criteria.

Altho props to Dyse and Mighty Mouse for the effort.
They sure as were not Softridge and Gasoft on the effort part.

[DPG21920]

Yeah, he was good with the threes, but I doubt that is sustainable.

And I don't know what the point is, what is it? That he might accept a 3rd string PG role for the minimum? I doubt it, but if that's the case then I have no problem resigning him for 3, 4, 5 or all the years he wants, tbh.

That's all I was saying. All TP said is he wanted 3 more years and wanted them all to be with SA. It was a personal goal to play 20 years.

He's said many times he's fine with whatever role and was fine with being benched all this year too. Manu said he would be fine with 5 minutes a game and that might be something TP is thinking too but everyone just assumed he meant he wanted a max deal and starting role.

But what the real point is none of that matter because that is the future. The key is this year with TP under contract and what to do with that situation.

People think they'll salary dump him

Porker isn't going anywhere. Anyone who thinks otherwise is ing autistic tbh

[SilverSpur]

Move him to front office , so he can start work on becoming a GM

It's kind of a meme on this site, but it isn't what it looks like. A ref blew the whistle just as Tony was about to shoot. That FT didn't count.

Stop trying to cover up what happened tbh.

I think it was that one of the refs blew his whistle or something like that

Damn lmao at my hour delay. What Seventy said

SG Kelenna Azubuike, 2009, age 26, WarriorsTorn patellar tendon in left knee after having appeared in 9 games, out for the season. In the video of the injury it looked like someone had beaten him out of mid-air with a bat when he tried to go up on a drive to the basket.

Darn. I forgot about Kelenna Azubuike, I thought he was a really good player for the Warriors and a decent person. I liked him. I seem to remember him just disappearing after showing that he can be a good player. Is this the injury that did him in?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Why are people discussing patellar tendon injuries when Tony's is a quad rupture, which is much less frequent and there are very few cases to draw conclusions from. In theory he should recover fully because the quad tendon is isolated and is above the knee, unlike the patellar tendon which is within the knee structure. Doesn't mean he's going to be as good, can't say as there are very few such injuries ( Griffin had a milder one in 2015 iirc ) but it's less severe than a patellar tendon rupture.

[objective]

I agree that the patella histories have nothing to do with Parker's injury, but for an injury to have a 9+ month recovery as expected by the Spurs ... That's a big time injury. Maybe it's more simple and more isolated, but 9+ months is no joke.

Seems like people come back from ACLs now in less time. And on a body as old and worn as his? When his injury was not only non contact, but happened on takeoff and not some strange landing ... A normal looking jump like that. What's to keep his other one from popping off when he starts to overcompensate trying to get back?

That is an absolutely false statement. The patella tendon is located below the knee cap and connects to the shin below it. The quad tendon connects the quad muscles to the top of the knee cap. Full rehabilitation is achieved when your injured knee reaches 85-90% of the strength of your non-injured leg. Any thought of TP of coming back better than ever is ridiculous.



People who have suffered quad tears sometimes never achieve full extension of their legs. Sometimes multiple surgeries are required. It's ugly. Also, most people who suffer this injury are 40 and older. Dude is breaking down quickly. He may risk injuring other parts of his body by overcompensating for what was lost in his quad injury..

LMAOOOOO

That's a terrible write-up. I read that dude's comments a while back. First of all, this sort of injury is rare in professional sports because it usually occurs in people over 40. Patella Tendon tears are much more common. Jimmy Graham suffered one a couple of years ago. The only other professional basketball player who suffered a full quad tear was Charles Barkley and it sent him to retirement. -- Full disclosure, Barkley had already indicated it was going to be his last year so when he tore the tendon, the long rehab process just ensured that his season and career was over. Again, its very rare and if TP is able to come back and play at a professional level, it will be unprecedented.

Don't understand what your point is :
1. Patellar tendon ruptures are more common and more severe than quad tendon ruptures?
2. Patellar tendon ruptures are more common but less severe than quad tendon ruptures?

Since this is the active Parker thread, some dude on ESPN said that Duncan and Parker were among the best pairs of all time at 3:38. He gets booed but someone else brings up Duncan and Robinson in 99

[dabom]

Bill I know you're a big parker fan, but all of SA loves Manu. Duncan and Manu would be considered the best duo.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Best duo ever?

Kawhi was singlehandedly spanking those two twinks. Jordan and Pippen would absolutely dominate them.

Shaq and Kobe would've killed them too. As would prime Duncan and Manu.
