That's as horrible to watch as the injury of the Louisville guy two years ago. Hope he recovers from that.

Terrible. Feel horrible for him. Not that it matters right now, but one has to wonder how this affects NBA stars playing for team USA moving forward.

NBA players have to extend their season and risk their bodies for some stupid international exhibition. It's not like it's the Olympics. And if they don't play, their patriotism gets questioned. Stop sending the game's best to these games. I could care less if the USA doesn't rank among the best in some worthless exhibition. And why does this thing exist? Money. I am just sorry that George had to be the scapegoat. |

The guys who really need to play these games are young guys. Not superstars like George. Completely stupid, meaningless tournament and I hope more superstars start backing out. |

The guys are playing pickup constantly in the offseason. Even if you eliminate these kinds of tournaments, the injuries aren't going to go down. It just happened to occur in a highly visible game. I understand why the teams would be reluctant to do it, but guys are more likely to get injured in the dunk contest than this. Move the support back to where it normally is and this never happens.
Freak injuries occur, but they are freak occurrences. On a more positive note, the doctors said that he had no damage to his ankle or knee (which I'm guessing means no ligament damage) and that they expect his recovery to be long, but full.

This was just a freak accident and has nothing to do with them being on an Olympic team. Its just a random act of life. Shit happens. |
