NBA Thread 2022-23 Season

Embiid is probably the closest.

Good one.

I was thinking of Grant Hill as a guy who overcame being hurt for like 4 years in a row….but he’d already been a reliable stud for 6 years before that one issue that lasted forever…..and he was merely a solid role player once he finally got healthy.

Zion is fat and I’m not sure he likes basketball that much. If he did he would have had himself in better shape quite a long time ago.

Yeah, he just wasn't the same.

I used to argue with a friend that always called him a bust because of the injuries. I didn't think that was fair. He was really good before his knees fell apart. And then I'd feel gross for defending a Duke guy.

Gallinari opts in for Celtics return in 2023-24

After suffering a torn ACL that caused him to miss last season, Danilo Gallinari will get to make his Celtics debut after exercising his $6.8 million player option for 2023-24.

Pretty sure it was a broken ankle that was misdiagnosed in Detroit that ended up causing long term damage.

Yeah, he was legit a top 5-10 player in the league for a few years.

Can’t remember exactly but he might’ve played on it in the playoffs, his last year in Detroit?

I thought he was one of those guys that just missed the micro fracture knee surgery advances?

 

[OrangeDW]

I recall it was foot/ankle problems.

Grant Hill thinks a misdiagnosis destroyed his ankle and career

Grant Hill isn't being overt about it, which is typical for him, but it's clear that he blames the Detroit Pistons' medical staff for misdiagnosing an ankle injury that led to the scuttling of his career back in the 1999-00 … <a...

Bring him to the Heat game and he puts the mascot in the ER and tries to rape a woman.

What a guy!

Be the first, and possibly only, to own a pair of AR1s…

He better be resigning with the Lakers if they’re putting that out in Laker colorways, lol.

He ain’t selling any pairs of those otherwise, but could probably move quite a few of them to Lakers fans right now.

I think Hill transcends being a Duke guy, like Mutombo transcends being a Georgetown guy.

JONATHAN ISAAC LAUNCHES ANTI-WOKE CLOTHING LINE FOR CHRISTIANS AND PATRIOTS

Jonathan is going to need to play more than the 45 games he’s played in the last 4 years if he wants to move any clothes.

I suspect he probably has a problem with “welfare and handouts” too, while possibly being the most welfarey pro athlete of all time. My God, get on the court and play a game already.

Grant Hill and Elton Brand - that’s my list of Duke guys I like.

Not a fan of Brand…even when he was a Clipper.

Well that's a relief because Mutombo is one of my all-time favorite NBA guys.

Yup, hard to find a flaw with him. Also, this is one of my favorite Dikembe stories.

But what is even more amazing about the Grant Hill thing is at the end of his career when he was with Phoenix he suddenly became an iron man. From 2009-11, when he was 36-38 years old, he missed 3 games total in 3 seasons!

I loved that Nuggets team. Rose was drafted after they beat the Sonics.
