[Inside The NBA] Charles Barkley on Anthony Edwards injury: “This is Paul Pierce right here. I’d say he was messing with the wheelchair
He’s done this so many times this season that I’m honestly convinced he has to take a shit or they load him up with toradol because he comes out in the second half like nothing happened.
He just has low pain tolerance, I don’t get why it’s hard to understand.
250 pound center landing on your ankle, you might need a few minutes too
I would not walk for 3 months, yes
Lol it’s funny cause he doesn’t act like someone with a low pain T
Low pain tolerance but wolverine’s healing factor?
Bro might be real life Deadpool
I think you got it flipped, hes got high pain tolerance, most guys would be out after these injuries he has.
Same issue LeBron has, he is able to play through so much that people actually think he’s faking it. He is simply able to play through more. Steph would be gone for sure after an injury like that
Exactly. I’m a fucking pussy! Stub my toe in the morning? Calling out. Slight headache before coffee? Calling out. Jubiantly jerk it too hard into the sock? Calling the fuck out!
My threshold for pain is negative 10.
I think so too. Or at least, his initial reaction to pain is pretty extreme. Then he settles down and he’s certainly a tough dude, but that first reaction is always a bit much lol.
Pretty much every time it happens it looks bad, i think Ants just got rubber ankles that bounce back
But he literally was walking like he tore his achilles right after this. He put no weight on the foot, it looked so bad in this case.
You might be more dramatic than Ant lol. You should work for WWE.
Ok

Diagnosed with being kind of a bitch smh
Lmao can we get that on the injury report next time?
Athletic players generally have low pain tolerance. There’s probably a biological adaptation explanation there.
He just wants to remind the rest of the team they can play basketball too.
I dunno how well toradol would help with an ankle injury or anything where the issue is stability being compromised.
No no I’m sure team owner Alex Rodriguez is fully against any drug use in sports athletes.
Could be a medical condition that he just doesn’t want to draw attention too or hasn’t ever been diagnosed. Something with the nervous system maybe? Or he cramps up badly when he takes a hit? Not sure
Today’s certainly been Paul Pierce’s day of attention.
Many consider him to be the goat, its kinda shocking he doesnt get more.
Well FWIW he was given the GOAT title in the Game of Zones universe, which IIRC was initiated by Kyrie.
He also got a vote in the current players poll for goat last year, the evidence is very strong
That shot over al harrington was all-time
Dwyane Wade is still better 😅
not after he snubbed AG his dunk contest title
Ehh Pierce shitted himself then feigned injury. 9⁄10 shitty move
Dude, ankle twists HURT.
It wasn’t even him who did it to himself. He had another dude jump up and land on his ankle.
For like 10 mins apparently.
I mean yeah.. that’s usually the case. Immediate pain that goes away after 15-20 if it’s not serious and no swelling. You don’t regain full mobility but you can play through it.
Ankle turns outward with body weight behind them are WAY worse than when someone pushes your ankle inward.
Source: My left ankle is beyond messed up after years of sprains while playing.
Yeah my ankles twist just looking at heavy gravel roads now.
I can’t tell if the reactions in the sub are genuine or not. Maybe Ant has a low tolerance for pain, but also, what the fuck? I wouldn’t be good for a long time if a 250 pound human, moving at playoff speed, jumped and landed on my high ankle.
Right? That shit had to hurt like hell. My ankle would have snapped in half.
Weird people’s conclusion is low pain tolerance and not high. Most people who be out way worse than that.
If you watch the replay from behind the basket, you’ll see the force of the side of Ant’s shoe sliding on the court left a fat streak. That only happens when you have A LOT of force pushing down.
People see the slomo replay and discount how impactful something like that is, in addition to not fully grasping how big everyone on the court is.
What I don’t get is the NBA on TNT crew acting like he’s faking something, as they should know better than the average Joe. They really expect Ant to get up and sprint back on defense after that?
LeBron playing injured: He’s so strong!!
Ant playing injured: HR!!
People were mocking LeBron’s knee injury too to be fair. Some people are just pure haters.
Yeah, that was pretty disgusting
Chuck is not familiar with Ant injury tech
He does have 20-35 year old Lebron-like resilience where he seemingly injures something and then is fine after a timeout.
yeah, he definitely does, good sign for his career tbh. Paper players don’t go far
Chuck said “only thing he was missing was the wheelchair”, not what the title says LOL
😂😂😂 he really is extremely dramatic
Ant didn’t walk 4 miles today, though
people acting like he didn’t get his ankle landed on by a big dude
the league is in the gutter if every reaction towards anything is always just hate clown expose gotcha
It’s funny, god damn, take a joke
not really that funny
If you don’t think the clip of Ant warming up at halftime like nothing happened with Chuck saying “cmon man” while Shaq/ Kenny giggle in the background is funny idk what to tell you
notice I said people not Chuck, plenty of people in the comments and online just saying he’s dramatic and faked it without the jokes
Denzel Washington’s dealer walked in his locker room and Ant came out ready
When ya gotta go, ya gotta go
Just shit your shorts if you need to, bro. Pierce blazed the trail.
Nah he just sold his soul like Giannis did in 2021. Let’s see if it works out for him.
unlike 2021 half of the field isn’t injured but never say never
I mean Steph got injured clearing one round for him
Luka had a bad back, JJ had brain damage and LeSuperteam is old, so that was basically a clean round as well
The sub has told me Edwards is a bit of a drama queen for this stuff so idk
Turns out getting your ankle manipulated by 200+lb men at full speed really hurts immediately after it happens.
Typical Warriors player
AE1s should be purchased by the military. Im convinced their are better protection than combat boots.
If that was Embiid, he’s out for six months min.
Send da video
He really is over dramatic isn’t he lol 😆
