It clearly was never his calf. Achilles. He's fucked.

He wont

this is why you always do those meme foot stretches before you play

achilles tear, even if you are god on the court or field, lasts minimum 13 months

>destroying your career to lose in 5

KWAB

You never actually fully recover from an ACL tear. You build up the supporting muscles and change your style of play to accommodate your new lack of explosiveness.

Fernando Gago is one

You don't. Its a 2 year injury minimum if he ruptures it. A slight tear maybe 6 months.

Thanks man. I'm new to watching NBA

like a sudden dick up your ass only larger

20-30 years

Most likely Dez Bryant

DCWAS

see Kobe's last years

3 weeks
he is not torn

30 minutes or less

He's at least younger than Kobe when he had his injury and Kobe was insane in general.

Apparently you can hear it snap.

john wall
kevin durant
stephen curry (future injury in the 4th quarter)

Is this a comfy thread then? I rarely watch basketball so I didn't know who he was. But he looks so weird. Everything about him is strange. Even the expression on his face. He is from a different planet. His anatomy and body language is totally otherworldly. Poor chap.

yup
youtu.be/JV3cpdexdVU

it feels like you've been shot

>stephen curry (future injury in the 4th quarter)
Fuck you. It better not happen but the way they tackling him and pushing him it might really happen.

REMINDER: Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles against the Warriors in the 80th game of the regular season. In 2005 Voshon Lenard tore his Achilles against Kobe’s Lakers. Between 6-8 season from today, one of these Toronto players will have an Achilles year.

If the greeks know about this like 8000 years ago why is it still a problem today?

he probably has some sort of marfan syndrome or gigantism. similar to kawhi his hands are abnormally large things you see with people with marfan syndrome

it feels like you've been shit

1. He’s not the workout freak that Kobe was.
2. He’s almost a 7 footer.

He may have advantages from his height and frame in being able to stay effective, morph his game but his explosiveness will never be the same.

He's done, retirement after Warriors lose. Check'em for confirmation.

For you

Medicine gettin better every year, plus who knows what kinda steroids or whatever they use these days.

I doubt KD actually tore his achilles. He got hurt planting his foot, not exploding from a neutral position. He also could walk alright. Most likely a calf injury.

Achilles

Because its a fucking tendon and we are humans with flesh bodies. The same shit can happen with your biceps, forearms, hamstrings, abdominals, etc. Tears to those things are no joke and its usually a sign that an athlete wont be the same again. It's also a sign that a team is retarded when they opt to waste high value draft capital on phenom players with known severe injuries in these places.

>2019
>steroids
They don't. It is not 1990's anymore. It is a clean sport now.

We've known about broken bones since the dawn of time. Still takes weeks to heal.

this is what an Achilles rupture surgery looks like
youtu.be/o4p-xHYuEhY

Stem cells most likely

This

Is that why they all play so terribly?

Besides that, you can steroid up to rehab, just gotta be clean to play.

nobody ever gets back to what they were pre-injury. It's the single worst injury in movement based sports. Boogie is the most recent example and he can barely even jump anymore, not to mention his loss of quickness

Why haven't we evolved out of the fragility of it tho

What about ACL

Because evolution was a joke. We're all just filthy apes.

When will lanklets learn?

>thinking it's an acl tear
That shit is extremely painful, he would not have been calmly just chilling on the ground if that was the case

kek

1 acl tear is nothing to modern medicine

Our horse tore his achilles, and we had to put him down.

Tell that to Julian Edelmans suspension

Is he ok?

He's fine, he still has 3 working legs

brehs
this shit sounds painful
youtu.be/YWEGZm_aLEo

it would be

>for you

Refrain from posting things like this in the future.

Because this isn't a trait that ensures general survival or is sexually advantageous. A better question is why we dont have clothing companies outfit athletes with smart clothing/tights that does the job of the tendon and provides enough support so that a tear can never happen? Some flexible and breathable lightweight carbon fiber support braces/tights for the ankles, hamstrings, biceps, etc should be no problem to produce, yet for some reason it's not a thing.

acl tears aren't always that painful

Even if not he's still capable of being the top player. Plus Boogie is a big, it's significantly harder for him to get over his injury being so heavy and his overall game is just different since he plays Center.

Still i'd say a sprain would be more likely

Pain is a meme

He first grabbed his ankle, then his calf. His Achilles rolled up his leg. He's done. He will never be able to plan that foot on a cut again. His Achilles is Jello now.

IDK why they bothered to even lie. The 4-D chess backfired on the warriors

steve kerr knew damn well it was the achilles and not the calf. way to risk the career of your star player coach

lol its like popping a paper bag

>Why haven't we evolved out of the fragility of it tho

because there's no selection pressure to do so

How can he still put weight on it as he goes to the locker if it was a torn achilles?

Lawrence Taylor fucked his in 92 and played one more year. He was not the same after that.

did you fucking sportstards even see Tifa?

ACL is anterior crucial ligament, not Achilles tendon bro. ACL is in your knee, still bad.

the selection stage ends at reproduction. If you can make it that far, all your genes are fair game. That's why humans aren't immortal, the parts just need to last long enough to have a family before your body falls apart

An horse is not a athlete

What's harder to recover from.. acl or Achilles?

sounds like the pistol in Halo. but really now im terrified i can get my achilles snapped just jogging around or something. is there a way to prevent this?

diet and sleep
decent shoes (fix your back and knees with good shoes too breh)

Could you prove that in a court of law?

Big oof

>It clearly was never his calf

torn/ruptured achilles is a risk when you have a compromised calf. he grabbed the calf when he was first hurt a month ago. even a small achilles tear would have meant he wasn't playing until next season. they took a risk, and paid for it.

t. professional pt

>steve kerr knew damn well it was the achilles and not the calf

no, see:

>why we dont have clothing companies outfit athletes with smart clothing/tights that does the job of the tendon and provides enough support so that a tear can never happen? Some flexible and breathable lightweight carbon fiber support braces/tights for the ankles, hamstrings, biceps, etc should be no problem to produce, yet for some reason it's not a thing

without attaching them to bones or muscles they wouldn't help because clothing isn't weight-bearing

Geeeeez...

good lord. that's a full rupture (not just a tear)

he won't be playing basketball competitively again until he's 33

I haven't watched basketball in a long time, but why are both teams so bad taking the ball up for a dunk/layup?

Is it just play styles? They're better shooters? Or are they scared of offensive fouls for being aggressive because it seems like the refs call everything.

Rip

excellent post pekka I'm sorry you didn't get the (You)s you deserve

maybe its because the interior defenders for each team are former defensive players of the year?

Heres video
You can definitely see it pop

yes, the pain is unbelievably nonstop too

maybe its because each team has a wing player who is an elite defender at preventing drives toward the rim?

You're never the same.

How bad is this injury this day and age, really? Worse than an ACL tear? what even causes this

wew that is awful

>How bad is this injury this day and age, really?
fucking bad
>Worse than an ACL tear?
about the same I think. both can vary in severity though

he'll go to germany for the year and get treatment. they have strict laws regarding privacy so he'll get the full race horse treatment without a peep to the public about the illegal methods. dirk and kobe did this

it's very bad and way worse than an acl tear. Quite literally nobody has ever regained anything close to their previous production afterwards. It basically kills all of your explosiveness and quickness

You usually don't notice it. That's why it's so bad, people often play on it for the rest of the game before realing something isn't right

Is an Achilles worse than an ankle sprain?

It's over, he'll be dead by midnight

an ankle sprain is like the 93 world trade centre attack

an achilles snap is like 9/11

Why would you even compare a greek legend to an ankle sprain

tendon tears are always way worse than ligament tears so yeah... he's fucked

BANG!

fuck the warriors

It takes at least 1 full year to return. Most players are never the same after it though. KD will be almost 32 by the time he returns, and coming off one of the worst injuries a athlete can have.

of course none of the amerifats got the joke

sprained my right ankle 8 times
don't want any of this shit anymore
never ever gonna do any more shit, I'll just shitpost

I broke my ankle playing basketball in high school. I'm 35 now, and my ankle still gives me problems.

This. He is genuinely fucked why the fuck do you think everyone on his staff is literally crying right now

Eric Berry

You can play again in about a year, but you're never the same. See: Kobe, Cousins, Richard Sherman, etc.

Don't forget he used to be injury prone. That's why he hasn't broken that team's cap.

Achilles' weakness was his actual heel, not his ligament. Has nothing to do with medical science preventing or fixing the ligament.

You can tear it by planting your foot. Happens in the NFL all the time to lineman getting pushed backwards.

Most people never tear their Achilles. Many have a particular physiology to where they can make jumps and cuts and never tear anything.

I've done this. In the woods. So I had to hobble for a couple miles in order to find some sort of transport to a hospital. It was excruciating.

What everyone said. It’s a pretty big tendon, he’ll have to work hard with physical therapists if he wants to play again, and even then he’s not going to be the same. Your body is fucking amazing, but it doesn’t do (all) miracles.

Not at first. You just feel something pop.

I thought people with marfan couldn't be athletes. Like it fucks you up in ways that go beyond just having large bones and looking weird

Napoleon is always right

Its about as robust as it physically can be brainlet. Think about how much abuse and wear and tear an athlete goes through. Its a wonder this shit doesnt happen to every single athlete, there is not a machine in existance that comes close to that sort of durability.

?? Demarcus tore his achilles and hes back in a year, same thing with Rudy Gay who came back and is playing better than before

kek'd & checked

The hero we need

No matter how hard a person trains, his ACL and Achilles will not get any bigger, but the rest of his body will. You’re planting a bigger plant, bush or tree into the same-size pot. It is a physiologic weak point as we get bigger, faster and stronger.

being an athlete is a mistake

just stay inside and shitpost lads

how severe is such an injury?

will he ever come back? how else had a torn Achilles who wasn't old af

And this is the real reason why using steroids for performance enhancing reasons are bad, kids. A little juice to help speed up athletic recovery is one thing, but going full bodybuilder mode and performing routine cycles to break records, attain muscle mass, and acquire strength that your body wasn't built to have only hurts you in the long run.

You can graft a ligament and it'll be almost as good as the original. You can't do the same for a tendon.

if you go full IFBB mode tendons are the least of your concern desu, also insulin is way more dangerous than steroids (steroids won't outright kill you, fuck up your slin dosage and you're dead right there)

Fuck that guy.

just posting to post on another board because "sending too many blah blah blah"

this nigger looks like an accountant

My grandfather went to a football match in 1965, it was Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Hamburger SV and the Bundesliga had been established a few years ago. It was during winter and it was cold as fuck, the ground was frozen and there was snow laying on the field.
During the match, Uwe Seeler (captain of Hamburg and the German NT, one of the best players in the world at that time) stumbled and tore his achilles tendon. According to my grandfather, the bang was so loud you could hear it everywhere in the stadium, even on the stands.
Everyone in the stadium thought his career was over, so did the newspapers. Seeler was the first player to return after such an injury, he played again in August. His first match was the WC qualifier playoff against Sweden, where he scored the winning goal to send Germany to the world cup.

There used to be a video of the incident (without sound), but I didn't find it.
