Yeah, Rodrigue Beaubois says o twice here. He was untouchable (Cuban words) two years ago. Now he is out of the league.
Yup, navicular injuries are feared by athletes because they have ended many sporting careers, especially in basketball and Aussie Rules. For some reason it can severely reduce athleticism, and when the difference between excelling and being cast onto the scrap heap is only a few %, bye bye career.

I do not remember him fondly, either. Very run of the mill."... he played well when he got in the game"
the he did. He was mediocre a best.
I wondered what happened to him... so much potential. Two naviculars huh? Poor guy.
Pre-injury, I thought he looked decent. Crazy how things panned out.
I thought Roddy B just broke his metatarsal.

This article says : "He repeatedly suffered from injuries, re-injuring his fractured foot as well as his other foot and his hand."
They don't mention the specifics , but looks worse than Anderson's case.
Na
Too bad Anderson is too fragile...He missed chances withe the Spurs because he kept
getting hurt. He needs to go play some Euro ball,put down some decent numbers and
hope he gets the call......
Well it's pretty clear that JA is not the same player he was before he was hurt, both in his explosiveness and in the reliability of his jumper. I think the difference with Roddy B is that he just broke down quickly, because he was either tearing up the league or he was hurt for an extended period. There was almost no middle ground with him.
Definitely seemed to be the case. I remember watching a few Dallas games and thinking the kid had the potential to be a star in the league. Next thing you knew, he just wasn't playing anymore.
Anderson, on the other hand, just looked noticeably hindered by his injury. He lost that bit of edge and athleticism which was really his calling card coming into the league, and I think that knocked his confidence down a peg (which affected the rest of his game). After he returned, he never did seem to be much more than 60%-70% of the potential we all saw in him, and couldn't really do anything to make him stand out.
Then again, Spurfan's memory might be slightly skewed by the fact that we were hoping for anybody to take over for ing He Who Shall Not Be Named.
Guess the kid still has some spark left in him. Nice game...36 points including the game-tying 3 to send to overtime.
I've got a feeling he can still play. His shot might be broke but with some work I feel like he could adjust. The best thing I remember about him was his ability to block shots from the perimeter. Might've been the best on the team at doing that at the time. And you don't really see a lot of players in the league with the ability to do that consistently.
I don't feel bad for him, he still banked millions with being sub par, don't even bring up the notion the Spurs should go after him.
I have a hard time feeling bad for multimillionaires tbqh.
If he never plays another minute of basketball, then he made his money and his family is set for life.
I do wish him well though.
