[Highlight] CADE IS BACK Throws down the lob with force!
THE ONE LUNGED MENACE IS BACK
New mythical hooper: cade with one working lung
I don’t think anyone would have blamed him if he missed the rest of the season and playoffs. It’s awesome to see him back in the regular season
I hope hes truly healthy and not pushing things to get an All NBA nod. We really need him full strength for the playoffs.
Speculation is playing back into shape + fairly minor injury compared to typical collapsed lung diagnosis
These games are basically meaningless, so the fact that he’s out there implies his health is not a concern
Isn’t the typical collapsed lung patient old AF?
Maybe why it was minor for him then
Yeah I think when they were saying 3-4 weeks that would be the average time if he was a 65 year old 2 pack a day smoker.
Don’t know which type he had but tall, skinny adolescent males are susceptible to collapsed lungs.
Like CJ McCollum old?
pushing things to get an All NBA nod.
I think he can only get to 64 games, so he can’t make all NBA.
He can file for an exemption like Luka apparently but who knows how that’ll turn out lol
Lukas is for missing time for the birth of a child. What would Cades be for?
Edit: both missing out is so dumb. I hate this rule.
Looking at the rules again he probably doesn’t have a chance. Hopefully they look over the rules after the season and can change some things around because it makes no sense how 2 MVP candidates miss out on awards like this
Its one of those rules that sound good on paper because ‘load management’ was kind of getting out of control but they didnt really think it through.
Me too, he seems fine but I don’t know what he’s feeling so I can just hope and pray he’s 100%
I read “one-lunged” (like he can only do one lunge) and was wondering why jumping off one foot was some sort of incredible feat.
They replaced his second lung with a robot lung. Stop the count!
Cant believe this man had a collapsed lung withing the last 6 months
MVP
No one else came back from a collapsed lung and dunked on the vaunted Bucks defense like that
CJ McCollum dunking on the Bucks after collapsing his lung: https://www.nba.com/pelicans/videos/cj-mccollums-steal-dunk-pelicans-vs-bucks-3-28-24
How dare you go against my narrative!
Well played
It’s weird that it happened twice lol
hahaha best me to the punch, well done
insane pull
How the fuck do you remember that 😭😭😭
Crazy pull lmao
“vaunted Bucks defence” 😂
XD
No one else would DARE dunk on the big bad bucks
wait how the fuck he back already? people were talking about pistons not even having him for round 1 of the playoffs lol
I donated my lung for him. A lot of weed residue caked up in them but better than nothing I guess
He did get pretty high on this dunk
Average return on a pneumothorax is 3-4 weeks. People didn’t think they would need him until the playoffs and that was a 5-6 week recovery. He wouldn’t be playing if he weren’t 100% right now.
lol he absolutely isn’t at 100 % and there is zero chance he would play right now if it wasn’t for the 65 game rule
You don’t know much about punctured lungs. Can’t make the 65 games for the year anyways so it’s very much he wanted to come back to play because he was feeling 100%. Zero reason to rush back.
he absolutely can same as Luka, he is gonna apply for the extraordinary circumstances rule, just wait and see
I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure the extraordinary circumstances rule is for things like death in the family not unexpected injury.
he is playing to ramp up his conditioning before the playoffs
Collapsed lungs don’t take that long to recover from, especially in a minor case like Cade’s
Yeah, an NFLer came back after like two games just last season.
Pneumothorax isn’t that scary actually! I mean in the moment it is because you can’t breath. Main thing is that it’s a flow problem, not a pipe problem, fix the flow and theres no longer an issue, and more importantly nothing to replace or heal.
Your lung pops a hole letting air into your chest cavity that makes it so your lungs can’t expand. So easy solution is to take out the air and then patch the hole, easy with a needle and a stitch, not much actual healing from it. Main part of leave was probably prep for surgery, the actual surgery and then recovering from anesthesia, and then ramping back up. It also rarely if ever is recurring so it’s not something that he has to worry about in the future. Just a freak accident, but not an all too uncommon one!
Doc is going to have a resume sitting on his bench seat
Number 21 commits the turnover and is at the exact same distance that Cade is to the basket and is just trotting down lol, bench this guy unless they’re tanking, which I don’t even know anymore with the Bucks
somehow didn’t notice this on the first watch. It gets more disgraceful each time it replays lol
Not even looking for a man to defend
literally jogging down the court without a care in the world
Ousmane?
Yup, thats Ous. Theres a reason he wasn’t getting playtime on okc and it wasnt just lack of talent
If you don’t like that, you don’t like Doc Rivers basketball. Dude takes the love of the game out of these players man.
Ousmane is the Arabic word for “skeezer”
What is 21 doing? Just trotting down the floor after turning it over. Like bro you could have at least tried
Dieng aint catching Ausar lol plus he’d have to foul cade it’s just not worth it
That’s good ol Cade “mono-lung” Cunningham for ya!
shhhhh-PLADOW!!
wtf I thought he was supposed to be back first round at the earliest?
He’s built different
Shiiiiit clearly
Not only is Cade back but u got a Stew in one package
I was expecting more based on the title
Yea, I see no force as well
Good to see Cade back in action in time for the playoffs!
holy shit, that was fast, so happy for him
I love this man’s game .
Ausar Thompson should be DPOY.
Some voters don’t even have him as 1st team which is truly psychotic.
My GOAT
Holy shit, I did not realize he was back
Good to have him back!
My King🙇
with force! is a stretch
He isn’t back until he wins a title in my book!
No he wasn’t supposed to be back for the first round, he can’t do this!
Cade got way less bounce than I thought
