Proctor020 | Mavericks

It’s his “brakes”.

I recently watched some older highlights from year 2-3 (🥲), and the dude was different. Driving full speed and stopping on a dime under the basket used the be his super move, bigger than the stepback. I’m now convinced that move is the cause of all his leg problems, those plays were insane for a reason. Ripped up his left leg. It’s a left hammy because he’s still compensating for his left calf/achilles.

Bonesawisready5 | Spurs

2 | 4 hours ago

SGA does have insane control of speed and pace. It was just a joke but more than likely he never gets THAT hurt from it, barring any one unlucky injury like KD which all the greats get at one point (MJ year 2, Duncan 2000 , Kobe, etc) and SGA is in FAR better shape than Embiid and Luka who also foul bait so I don’t actually think it’s that likely. Unless when they trade/move on from Lu Dort and then he has to play him 4 times per year, then PRAYERS. Jk

I’m convinced AD and Embiid did it to themselves flopping. Jokic is remarkably durable by comparison. He’s not falling down like a Jenga tower every other minute of game time.

lalo1398 | Lakers Bandwagon

AD rarely flopped he would land that way to try (big emphasis on try) to not hurt himself

Bonesawisready5 | Spurs

-3 | 4 hours ago

TBF vic falls that way intentionally to not hurt his legs. It was just a joke lol. SGA is in far better shape than Embiid and Luka and other prominent foul baiters so he probably doesn’t have much consequences worse than anything Harden or KD have suffered, maybe even less since he seems like he has a great mobility routine in his off court workouts. I am just saying it’s a risky strategy and again, haha, OKC got a title so no matter how bad it could possibly go from here on out it was worth it for Thunder and SGA

yep, this sub doesnt want to admit it, but AD has really shown his value over Luka this year

he may have only played 20 games to Luka’s 42, but because Luka doesnt play defense, we can divide the 42 by 2 to make it 21 so they;ve basically been even

then max christie makes up at least one game, so good trade overall
