Horrible knee injury, I cant even watch the replay...what a shame

This poor kid just can't seem to stay healthy. It's a shame too since he's a rarity in this league. 6'7", "true" point guard, very good defense.

The guy came out too early! His body was not ready to play a mans game.
he is still young but these setbacks does not help his developement!

This kid is literally a walking injury.

Man my knee hurts just by watching it
tkf@ 2/27/2007 12:16 AM
very sad. He is a likeable kid. tough injury...
nyk4ever@ 2/27/2007 12:17 AM
Wow I just saw it... he was just going up for a layup and he came down and baaaaaam. It's amazing what can happen in a half a second. I feel terrible for this kid.

that was nuts. theismann's was worse b/c that was a clean break of the bone. this is a tear or dislocation. he CAN come back from this and since he's so damn crack skinny, there's not alot of pressure on his knee. but it's going to take ALOT of rehabbing and ALOT of muscle building on his legs to prevent something like that from happening again.
he's probably out until the 2008/09 season.

I just read about the injury. This is his second dislocated knee in four seasons. The guy did the same thing to his right knee four years ago. He's just not built to be a pro baller.

That injury looked like his knee just gave out. It hurt me just watching that. You really think he's out all of next season?
eViL@ 2/27/2007 12:35 AM
Oh man, I just saw it. Dude's leg looked like a wet noodle. That was nasty.
EnySpree@ 2/27/2007 2:09 AM
Geez Louis rice and peas!
That scares the shit out of me. I'm so scared to hurt my knee like that. They say its not likely to tear again but that's what they say till it happens again!
Shaun is gonna have a tough road ahead of him. Damn I feel bad for him. Its not even about him going to college. He just grew too fast and his body didnt compensate. Dude is gonna have to really take a hard look at his training. Maybe even look into doing something else. Oh baby that was just icky!!!

I said this on these very boards maybe a year or two ago.
Some peoples bodies can handle it and others can't. Look at Grant Hill. We all have lost what was suposed to be an incredible, Hall of Fame career from grant hill, people forget how good he was. ANd he NEVER could make it. Hes older now, and it doesn't matter, his best days are way behind him.
As for Shaun, he is still young and has plenty of oppurtunity to be this phenomenalt PG that everybody thinks he can be (I'm not convinced); but these constant injuries aint helping matters at all. If i were him I would develop a MJ/J. Kidd/Sam Cassell appraoch to the game.
Don't try to be a high flyer, be a runner, play a low impact game, and dominate the game with your brains and understanding of the game.

Qrich for Livingston and Rebraca....................
highfivesucka@ 2/27/2007 7:51 AM
OUCH!!! that was even worse than when Frye hyperextended his knee. how does that happen, just not enough strength in his knees?
Solace@ 2/27/2007 8:25 AM
Damn. That had to hurt.
Nalod@ 2/27/2007 9:28 AM
Reality sucks! Looking at him out of highschool vs. a guy like Maggette who came out after a year and built like a truck was huge.
This guy was never to be that big, but he is really fragile.
Two thoughts, keep him down until he matures or give thought to what would have happened if this occured in college and no money! Should The Clips have bought him along slower? Should NBA teams do that and expect to pay these guys big? NBA is not for kids!

I just saw the video of the injury again. God Almighty, was that hard to watch.

Bumba clot...Oh shit...wow...Clippers fans should be slitting their wrist at this point in the season

I wouldn't be surprised if he were forced to retire, and it would be a goddamn shame if that were the case.

Jesus Christ...when I saw that last night, especially followed up by how loud he was screaming on the floor, my knee went numb.
