Gerald Green played 12 years without a finger. Shawn Marion has a permanently dislocated left pinky. Mitch will be fine

soilentgleem

131 | 14 hours ago

I have a permanently dislocated finger too, you can’t really compare it to a broken finger because the pain factor is just completely different. With an injury like a permanent dislocation, you’re not really getting much pain from the finger getting bumped like you would a currently broken finger. I’m assuming the same is true for Green’s missing finger, different pain factor.

spraypaint23 | Lakers

Maybe he should permanently dislocate or cut his finger off before the finals

if your finger is just straight up missing, you obviously can’t feel pain from it, whereas receiving contact from a broken finger is extremely painful (unfortunately speaking from experience)
