French soccer player Djibril Cissé broke both of his legs like that, and he's still playing today.
Wow. That is about the epitome of stupidity as far as self-inflicted injuries are concerned.

Ugh, motorcycle accidents are nasty. I was driving the Angeles Crest Highway in the mountains north of LA and saw a guy get hit by a semi when taking a curve way too fast. His bike smashed into tons of pieces and his body was in at least three.
That headbutt injury is one of the worst and most terrifying injuries ever.
Makes you think how fragile we are. A guy basically lost his life on court in half a second of hastiness. Makes me sick to my stomach to watch that again.
Meh. Pretty stupid, but I've seen dumb like that from young people quite often. Old people for that matter, too. Been guilty of some stupid , myself. Maybe this was a little more nonsensical than some things, but probably no more than the 18 year old girl texting her pal meaningless and killing herself and a family of four. Takes a little luck to get old, because we're all pretty dumb.
The most interesting thing I took from this video is that during a life-threatening situation in the Greek league, someone will run out and try to save my ass with a bunch of they gathered from under the kitchen sink.
Sucks for PG and the league. But some of you s need to get a grip tbh.
quite a few squeamish beta softies in here tbh
Paul George takes defense to a new degree.
Cisse is always the first player I think of when I see leg breaks like this. He came back after 6 months from the Liverpool one (on the right).French soccer player Djibril Cissé broke both of his legs like that, and he's still playing today.
I don't know how someone keeps playing after breaking a leg like that twice, how can it ever escape your mind? I'd never go in for a challenge again, I tore ligaments in my ankle a few years ago when I landed on someones foot and it still flashes in to my head every now and then when I play.
Oh man...
I saw Theismann's injury live...this one is right up there with it.
Folks, if you can't handle Theismann, don't watch it...
Yes, but the owners are just trying to minimize that risk as much as possible since they're the ones signing the checks...
Bottom line: I feel bad for the guy, a horrible break. Hopefully he is able to fully recover.
Oh absolutely, I think the GMs and Owners will use this to their advantage and I understand why, but I think the perception of risk is much higher than the reality.
I know in the Premiership it is written in to some players contracts that they are banned from riding motorcycles because of the increased risk.
I saw it and it was pretty freaking gross. Him and Ware ugghhhh
I don'y know man that Kevin Ware injury was freaking horrible too.
Wouldn't the same logic that the GMs and Owners are using in this instance also extend to no play in the NCAA tournaments? Isn't that where Kevin Ware's injury occurred? In fact, if you take that logic to its ultimate illogical conclusion, wouldn't it apply to preseason games as well?
I don't doubt that the argument will be made, but my point is that corrective actions should be in the area of where stanchions and press people are situated for George's injury.
Bottom line is playing can result in freak accidents. Gross, horrible thing for the athletes. I hate it for them. But injuries happen playing sports. End of story.
As it pertains to the NCAA I doubt the NBA teams care, because they aren't committed to anybody yet. I agree the logic extends to preseason games, and considering the playoffs are really all that matter I don't see why it doesn't extend to the regular season too.
In fact, the NBA would be hypocrites to ban stars on the basis of injury risk, as they complain about teams doing the exact same thing in the regular season. We got fined for it, although that was perhaps more to do with rest than injury risk, but it's fair to say the risk of injury is increased when players are fatigued.
Mam, that is really painful to watch.
That is a shame for Paul George and the Pacers. The Cavs now basically have a bye to the Eastern Conference Finals. The NBA is very unbalanced by Conference right now.
As an old ABA team, the Pacers have a lot of things in common with the Spurs as a small market team (outside of the LOBTs).
I will avoid looking at any video too.
It sounds like college players will make USA Basketball Team next years.
Mark Cuban is a crazy guy but not stupid at all.
November 27, 2009..."We could still send our under 21 players to the Olympics. They will represent our country admirably, Im sure. More importantly, it would be a great business move for the NBA. Those players we send will get far more branding and marketing assigned to them then their current one and done collegiate careers (and the prospects of playing in the Olympics may incent them to stay in college as well)".
Because modern medicine, doctors can now fuse nerves to make one good as new. They take a nerve from one part of your body, like your buttocks, and fuse in place of damage nerve. Plus the pins in the leg make the leg much stronger than it was before. The most risky areas to fix nerve damage or broken bones is the back. In a leg or arm, and nerve can be sever and doctors can reroute the synapses. If the spinal cord is sever well, you are going to be paralysis as there is only one main nerve that runs through your spine, and the spinal cord, consisting of white tissue, has a different makeup to the other nervous systems throughout the body.
I just hope ESPN and other sports televisions are smart enough not to replay this video during Pacers or any other NBA game....saw it and I'm not sure, that I'm able to step foot on a court again.
Couldn't agree with anything more than this, it blows me away how so many people on here are obviously just spurs fans and not fans of the entire league. They want players like George and DRose to get hurt because they are "monkey ballers" what the are you talking about they are NBA players who don't deserve to get hurt just for using their incredible athleticism.I hope the monkeyball is just trolling. Like, you're legit the reason that the Spurs fanbase is as bad as the Heat fanbase or any fanbase (in the sense that every sports team fanbase has its equal share of lame s but it does feel like the Spurs fanbase feels itself a bit holier than thou undeservingly), the weirdass Euroball racist wads who think athleticism in a ing professional sport is crude/dumb or cheating or some bull .
NO FAIR AMERICAN BLACKS YOU CAN JUMP HIGHER AND RUN FASTER, IS NO COMPARISON TO GREAT SLAVIC BASKETBALL!!!!!! DUMB MONKEYBALL!!!
they're in like, every basketball youtube comment section talking that bull and they're almost always Spurs fans latching onto the Spurs so they create this super lame concept where it's like the Spurs style of basketball is the "Beautiful Game" and the only right way for basketball to be appreciated. Like, I can watch Spurs passing and the Spurs system and intensely appreciate its beauty and I can also watch a Clippers alleyoop dunk and appreciate its beauty without snarkily rolling my eyes at how athletic this professional athlete is and inserting subtly racist bull about monkeyball. Obviously the fact I'm a Spurs fan means I appreciate watching Spurs basketball more than the latter, but as a fan of basketball I can see the beauty in both in their own ways. Seriously what a bunch of lameass Eurotrash typically.
Like, Pop and the franchise developed a system over time based on the reality of our assets and the makeup of our team. If we had had some hyperathletic young superstar prodigy then we may have modeled and adapted to that. Why's discussion of basketball playing style gotta get ideological ("this is the right way!!!!!") and borderline racial? wack
I love watching the Spurs play, I love watching them play more than any other team out there, but honestly if you look at some super athlete doing an awesome alleyoop dunk or some crazy athletic feat and react to that by sniffing condescendingly and rolling your eyes about how it's not purist basketball and it's monkeyball and blahblah you straight up need to wipe the off your lips.
Horrible news.. Hopefully in a year he can make it back..
