Injuries

Does it seem like now more than ever players are being injured. It seems like every all star is always injured or recovering from surgery.

Kobe has had knee surgery and will most likely miss a few games at tha start of the year
T-Mac is a always out with back spasms and I heard he had pleurism
Vince Carter is trying to come back after two years od jumpers knee
Grant Hill we all know about him
Recently Ray Allen had ankle surgery
Allen Iverson usually has something
etc.
It seems like there is never a chance when most of the players are healthy

Yeah, they are all a bunch of weak pussys. Thats why I love player like Karl Malone, he never get hurts, he has played almost every game in his career .
Compare with Iverson, he plays like 60 games in a season

Weak pussies? Are you nuts? Have you seen what Iverson does in his games? The man is beat up day in and day out.. What in heavens name are you talking about...weak pussies .

Yeah,AI is a weak pussy!

At 6-foot-0 and a generous 165 pounds, Iverson does not have nearly the size of Wallace, who is 6-foot-9 and 240 pounds, and Artest, who is 6-foot-7 and 246 pounds. Critics of Iverson early in his career frequently suggested that his aggressive mentality and recklessness with his body driving to the basket would keep him on the injured list for the better part of his career.

Last preseason, when Iverson was expected to be sidelined two to four weeks because of a right finger fracture, he only missed one game in the preseason, and ended up playing 26 or more minutes in each of the remaining preseason games. He would go on to play in all 82 regular season games for the first time in his career.

*Kick's Slam harder in the nuts and runs away*

In perhaps the most courageous performances of his career, Iverson shook off the sacroiliac joint contusion - a hip injury that rendered it difficult for Iverson to even sit down - suffered in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Toronto to lead the Sixers past the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals, and a stunning Game 1 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals. Despite the injury, Iverson scored 48 points in the overtime victory over the Lakers. In total, Iverson only missed one game - Game 3 of the Milwaukee series - because of that injury.

Regardless of how many games he has missed, Sixers fans are familiar enough with the common sight of Iverson sprawled on the floor after taking yet another shot from players with 50 to 100 pounds on him. It doesn't usually take long for the outside observer to realize that the smallest player on the Sixers is not only one of the best players in the NBA, but likely the toughest.

Would ya be able to do this?

Yo! Don't get me wrong I know, that AI sacrifies his body as hell when he playing. I have mention this before in a thread

I think that Iverson is at least one of the most physical players in the legue. Look at the way he scores, he is not takin many long shots, he just throw himself to basket and goes for crazy shot.
He is on off the players that sacrifies his body most in the legue.

But maybe he plays to physical since I thinkg he plays to few game.
Iverson has only played over 80games 2times in his 7 years career.

Maybe it was wrong of me to use the term "weak ass pussies" cuz that defenitly not fits on AI, but I think todays players should focus in being in more play preparedness.

Karl Malone has only missed 9 games in his 18 years career (!!!)
Big credits to him! Today player should be more like him, he is not playing to much physical basketball, but he is always there for his team, and I think that is worth a lot!

Allen Iverson has missed 43 games in his 7years career.

You get the picture?

Check out Gary Payton too. He's only missed five games(not including last year where he only played 80 due to the trade). And more of them were for suspensions, rather than injuries.

Yeah, that is what I'm saying. Veterans are much better to manage come healthy to the court.

WTF, I thought that we were gonna have real discussion here, but i guess I win
