He's making it really, really easy for me.
Why did he leave at halftime, exactly? It doesn't seem like it was medical care -- or that medical care was even needed -- so how is that excusable? I get that he has a lot to do with his twitter and IG, but that's not the time for it. He then sends the team a congratulatory group text? Seems like insult to fake injury.
It's pitiful that some of these cupcakes choose not to play with minor injuries. Again, Baynes took a shot on a broken nose last season and just laughed it off. IT got his tooth knocked out, picked it up, and drilled a 3 on the next possession (day after sister died). But this is your modern NBA, folks. A lot of these guys are incredibly soft, pampered, and selfish.
Lol what's the worst injury you ever had? Twisted an ankle once or twice? Love it when idiots come out to voice their opinions.
My senior year of high school, I played for a couple of months with a broken hand and hamstring tendon tear. This was two weeks after my father passed away unexpectedly.
Edit: Forgot that I also had tendinitis in both wrists.
And I bet you did it up hill both ways in 3 feet of snow too.
Hell, I broke a bone in my ankle and was playing less than 2 weeks later.
Reason why, it's frakin highschool, with little to no medstaff, and we aren't the faces of the franchise worth tens of millions of dollars that they are going to risk it on. It's the beginning of the season, so why chance it getting worse with an other blow.
They also kept him out to watch out for concussion symptoms since he was a bit dazed after. So it's a bit of BS calling him out not playing when the med staff made the call.
