Twitter is freaking out right now. Anybody got a video uploaded yet?

"Hopefully I'll be back in time to watch practice," Ware told ESPN by phone today. "It hurts but I'll be fine. I'll be fine."
He added, "I jumped and my leg felt kind of funny. When Coach P tried to help me up, he gave me a funny kind of look. I'm looking at him and then I look down and I see my bone sticking out. It wasn't a hurt feeling. I just went into shock.
"In the moment, you don't know what's wrong with you. You're just looking, thinking, 'How did this happen?' I never watched the replay. I never want to."

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

Well apparently I don't wanna see a replay of it.

[DirkNowitzki41]

dont wanna see it again. just awful

[LosBulls]

Well apparently I don't wanna see a replay of it.
I do.

[Jameerthefear]

I'm in tears damnnit.

[Vragrant]

Feel so bad for the kid and I did not even see it (nor do I plan to).

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

I do.

About the worst looking injury I've ever seen on a basketballplay.

[Jameerthefear]

It was just on a simple closeout. Freak accident man..

[bagelred]

I don't want to watch it. But I will just so I can say I saw it.....here goes......

WATCHING

OK....Holy f-cking shit.....OMG. That was beyond words brutal.


This reminds me of Joe Thiesman's leg getting snapped by Lawrence Taylor on Monday Night Football. This actually looked worse I think.

[Jameerthefear]

Keep him in your prayers man :/

was it worse than Shaun Livingston's injury? (I just ate, can't watch til later)

[DirkNowitzki41]

just seeing the bench reaction says it all..

[jaydacris]

was it worse than Shaun Livingston's injury? (I just ate, can't watch til later)

yes 10x worse

[mattvNJ]

literally had to go outside and get air. almost yacked. So bad. The emotional expressions and feeling on that court were rediculously.

[Overdrive]

Compared to this Shaun Linvingston only rolled his ankle.

[bagelred]

was it worse than Shaun Livingston's injury? (I just ate, can't watch til later)

I don't remember Livington's but this has to be the visually worst basketball injury in its history. Beyond terrible. His lower leg basically snapped in half.

[PJR]

Yo, that shit was devastating to watch.

[inclinerator]

that was nasty

[Grinder]

I was at the gym watching this game when I saw this injury. As someone who's torn my ACL once and meniscus three times, I had to get out of there and clear my head.

That's not just a broken leg. There's going to be significant ligament damage with the way his leg contorted. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a torn/ruptured ACL, PCL, and MCL. That'll take well over a year to rehab from. Hope Ware can someday return to the court.

[Scoooter]

Horrific. They should have just been hammering morphine into him like someone who got blown in half in a World War 2 movie.

[#number6ix#]

Do y'all think he'll ever play again

Not only that, they could amputate his leg below the knee, like they almost did to NFL player Napoleon Mcallum on a similar injury before he finally healed.

[shaq2000]

Duke really has a leg up on Louisville now.

[STATUTORY]

no.

prayers to ware and his family.

damn that definite?

this really taints the whole tournament for me.

[FreezingTsmoove]

All I had to here was that he was from Bronx, NY to know why such a rare injury happended. 2 words SHIN SPLINTS. Out here in NY if you balling on concrete playgrounds without proper basketball shoes you develop "Shin Splints" or excruciating pain in lower legs since you can't properly land on concrete floors especially without proper shoes. I used to have it

[outbreak]

That was horrible. Twitter says players were vomiting on the bench. It sucks itll be all over the Internet and media now too.

Have them now actually after our intramural season and regular balling. They suck and def could be a possibly reason that it snapped at that part of the leg. Ughh sick to my stomach :facepalm

absolutely brutal, worst injury ive ever seen in basketball. i send prayrs to ware and his family as well, I hope he'll be able to at least nearly fully recover from something as bad as that

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

NCAA makes all this money during these tourneys and they don't even insure their players?

[Horatio33]

I just hope he is able to walk when rehab is over.

[InspiredLebowski]

Edgar Sosa had a similar injury and is a pro basketball player right now. His career doesn't HAVE to be over.

[outbreak]

Does ncaa provide him with any compensation?

[Mr. Jabbar]

Check the slow motion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KRO3RZxJcE

F , never seen such a bad injury even soccer

[InspiredLebowski]

Yes he has insurance. The school's each have policies that cover all their athletes. NCAA may be a cartel but it's not run by satan.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Would have never happened if he was wearing LeBrons.

[bagelred]

Yes he has insurance. The school's each have policies that cover all their athletes. NCAA may be a cartel but it's not run by satan.

I was just thinking that. You'd have to think the individual school is responsible for insuring all their athletes.

[9512]

I will NOT be watching the video of it.

I hope to Kevin Ware will get healthy to even walk again.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Unbelievable. I feel terrible for the kid.

[d.bball.guy]

So heartbreaking seeing his teammates and coaches cry.

[PrettyCool]

Is he out for the final four?

but as for any type of compensation or problems down the line, he is on his own

Lots of players from the Bronx, and you don't hear of this happening with a whole lot of frequency.

There has to be more to it. For one, his legs looked mad underdeveloped as it is.

[bagelred]

Kind of sorry you saw that injury right? I got ya covered..........

Damn dude that poor kid. As someone who tore three ligaments in my right knee, I must say his looks 1000x worse than mine did. Damn poor kid. The rehab is going to take quite some time, but it's not the end of the world. He can still play, it will take a long time, but hopefully he can get back to playing.

[jstern]

Since I couldn't really bare to watch, did his bone stick out?

[D.J.]

Since I couldn't really bare to watch, did his bone stick out?


Big time.

[InspiredLebowski]

The hardest part of the rehab will probably be the mental hurdles, just learning to trust his leg again. All he did was jump and land and it just snapped, not like he got undercut on a layup a guy landed on him or something.

Chicks dig scars, so there's that I guess. He'll have some gnarly ones.

[The Choken One]

Just sat in silence with my mouth opened watching that video... that was worse than the RB in college who snapped his leg.

I couldn't even imagine seeing that in real life...

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

That wasn't as gruesome if you can tolerate blood. The leg snapping in half is medieval.

[Budadiiii]

no.

prayers to ware and his family.
Jesus Christ you are painfully stupid.

[Qwyjibo]

That wasn't as gruesome if you can tolerate blood. The leg snapping in half is medieval.
I think the threat of death makes it "worse" for me.

[RedBlackAttack]

Reading about it on Twitter, I knew it was going to be bad. It was worse than I thought it would be. Sort of reminiscent of the Theismann injury, except there weren't socks to hide the bone/flesh.

I'd say that's probably the worst sports injury I've ever seen, in terms of the visual.

[d.bball.guy]

Adidas. Im getting rid of mine tomorrow.

[KG215]

After the Marcus Lattimore injury, where his leg just sorta flapped around in the air like a flag flapping in the wind, I thought I'd never see another sports injury that gruesome. Then today happened.

[mattvNJ]

Adidas. Im getting rid of mine tomorrow.

got my crazylights, i dont think a shin snap has much to do with the support from the shoe. Just a weak bone and a freak accident.

gonna cop some kobe's get that longevity haha

That doesn't happen unless you've got shin splints and probably some other issue with your bones. That's heart breaking. I had to hold on to my leg after watching that.

I've actually seen this happen in real life during a basketball game. It was at a tourney...the gym was hardwood laid right on top of concrete. No give whatsoever. We were watching in the stands waiting our game to start...guy goes up for a routine rebound comes down and "snap". It was very subtle and sounded like breaking a big piece of styrofoam. Guy screamed...no...shrieked for a second or two then complete silence. We assumed he went into shock. They brought a stretcher and when they placed him on it his foot was moving around like a fish on a hook.

Totally surreal and none of us were in the mood to play after that.

Never imagined I would hear or see it happen again.

[DMV2]

That was horrifying to watch. I can't imagine the pain. :(

That is the most horrifying injury I have ever seen on a basketball court. I didn't know something like that could happen. There must have been something wrong with his bones for them to snap like that.

I know third degree burns cause zero pain because all the tissues are already damaged to a point where there's no sensation. I wonder if it's similar, where the damaged parts of your body just loses its sensation that you don't feel a thing.

I believe you but damn. My friend's ankle went through his skin like that in a most pit accident. He was screaming in pain before he saw how ugly it looked. Once he looked at it, he was calm and not saying anything. Of course that was because he was in shock once he looked at it. But still. ****.

[RoseCity07]

Has anyone seen that House episode where one of the patients bones break really easily. The person ends up having cancer which caused the bones to become really frail. I was looking at that picture and his shin bone looks hollowed out in the middle.

I'm probably wrong but it is definitely strange that his leg did that. Could it really be just a freak accident or does this guy have a bone density issue?

The hollow part is the bone marrow, where it has blood and all sorts of cells in there. Looks like normal bone structure to me.

[AlphaWolf24]

From watching the video...it looked like he might have rolled his ankle first.....then while his ankle was flat against the floor....somehow put enough pressure to snap his tibia.


*** I hope he makes a full recovery and can lead a normal life.

A shinbone fracture is caused by trauma to the shinbone. Trauma includes:

That's a freak, 1 in a million type of occurrence though. Think of how many times in NCAA + NBA history a guy's closed out hard on a shooter (probably millions), yet that's only happened once ever.

Nasty injury, easily the worst basketball injury I've ever seen.

[daily]

wow that was fast :eek: I guess the injury looked worst than it was.

In the end it is just a broken bone, no joint involved. It's when they start having to rebuild your knee that it gets tricky. From the pic looks like a fairly clean break.

He's young should recover just fine to play another day.

[d.bball.guy]

wow that was fast :eek: I guess the injury looked worst than it was.
Yeah :wtf: I guess he'll be fine but may not be able to play ball again, but hey, if guys like Shaun Livingston can still play, why can't Kevin Ware? Torn ACLs are worse than broken legs, although it's gonna take time to rebuild the bone.

The biggest fear in really severe breaks like that one is seriously damaging the ability for blood to circulate below the fracture. This can result in gangrene, which would mean amputation or worse.

That said, it sounds like things are under control and this kind of complication isn't a huge concern at this stage.

[LBJFTW]

Clean break, about a year of rehab.

[Droid101]

Man, I haven't even watched it. Only read this thread.

And my right shin is throbbing. WTF?

I can't watch shit like this. Last one I watched (Shawn Livingston) left my knee hurting for days.

Scary shit man.

Pitino said it was the same injury Michael Bush had in college. I guess if a running back can overcome an injury like that, a basketball player should have no problem.

I wish people considered timing. I haven't seen it and I really don't want to. I only wish him a speedy recovery. No real ligament damage is obviously very important, for a number of reasons. But the shock is difficult to imagine. I feel terrible for any loved ones watching that. Best wishes. You'll be alright.

He's young should recover just fine to play another day.This. It's obviously a gruesome injury, but the surgery to fix it is a lot "simpler" than if he'd shredded his knee.

Methodist Hospital also has some of the best ortho surgeons on the planet, he was lucky the game was in Indy. The doctor that did his surgery's probably done it dozens of times.

[takai]

I cannot even fathom being in that situation. That was by far one of the most brutal things I've ever witnessed.

Louisville statement re Kevin Ware: surgery completed. Bone reset, rod inserted in right tibia. Will remain in hospital until at least Tue

Wow, thank God for science.

[BurningHammer]

If the leg is treated right, it will become stronger when fully healed. So, get well soon!

What exactly was the injury? A broken tibia, dislocation?

[Fudge]

Man, I haven't even watched it. Only read this thread.

And my right shin is throbbing. WTF?

I can't watch shit like this. Last one I watched (Shawn Livingston) left my knee hurting for days.

Scary shit man.
This!! So me right now.

[HardwoodLegend]

I'm sat here massaging my knees and shins all paranoid about a simple jog tomorrow.

Shit might snap just jogging a slow pace.

[InspiredLebowski]

What exactly was the injury? A broken tibia, dislocation?Only thing I've seen/heard is "broken leg," which'd obviously be his tibia. Pitino said immediately after the game that he broke it in two places, which doesn't make it any easier, but I'd think that's more of a problem with it healing properly as opposed to the actual surgery.

It's a really terrible injury, but if he can get through it mentally and learn to trust his leg again there's no reason he shouldn't be able to play ball again.

Yeah man, give those legs a day of rest and rebuilding.

I'm thinking about doing a few jumping jacks to warm up for some light stretching, but I'm scared.

[9erempiree]

Prayers to him and his family.

What kind of shoes was he wearing? It better not be the Rose's.

[flipogb]

Rose shoes again, Im scared as a Laker fan with Dwight wearing Adidas

it definitely was the new Rose shoes

[InspiredLebowski]

A pair of sneakers doesn't make your shin snap in two.

[HardwoodLegend]

A pair of sneakers doesn't make your shin snap in two.

They're not the main cause, but the heel on the Rose's isn't forgiving at all to landings in that area. The sole is very poorly designed and promotes ankle rolls.

My legs are just aching me right now watching that video holy shit

My bad. I knew Rondo wore Nike lol.

[tomtucker]

just seeing the bench reaction says it all..

but it was the same reaction all NBA benches do when a great play or dunk happens.......

[talkingconch]

I came across this picture and cant even explain how bad it is

http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/12560618/640/12560618.jpg

you can see the bone popping out in the uncensored picture, didnt want to post it though
im so densensitized, hope a speedy recovery

[tomtucker]

how can a such a bad break happen from just landing on it........never seen this in the NBA............

[DirkNowitzki41]

but it was the same reaction all NBA benches do when a great play or dunk happens.......

:wtf: not at all.

the bench ended up vomiting and cried.

[guy]

Not trying to be insensitive but I think this pretty much guarantees Rose ain't coming back this year.

[KeyNote]

Watched it live on television...I only saw the bench reaction and the players on the floor all collapsing

then they showed the super slow mo replay..I literally turned the TV off

[tomtucker]

Not trying to be insensitive but I think this pretty much guarantees Rose ain't coming back this year.

what is the connection ?

[dunksby]

****!!! That's horrible...Hope he recovers and gets back on the court.

[KeyNote]

This falls under the 'freak injury' category

A one in (insert huge # here) chance of that happening ever, i suppose

[senelcoolidge]

Milk does the body good. Either he had a previous injury there and it just gave out or he has calcium or some other type of bone density deficiency. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Oh my, oh my... That was sickening. I hope this guy makes a full recovery. I can't say he'll be in my prayers since I don't pray, but he will be in my thoughts.

[andremiller07]

Poor guy hope he makes a full recovery, but damn all his teammates on the bench moving backwards just showed how truly nasty that was, hopefully he was in a state of shock where he didn't feel that much pain but I doubt it poor dude:(

[East_Stone_Ya]

oh dear :(

[bagelred]

Ware is a warrior though! Right after his leg snapped, he picked up lower leg and threw it at the Duke player to prevent the shot. Commitment!

[guy]

what is the connection ?

Dude's already been paranoid as **** about coming back. I would think there's no way he'd think about risking it now after watching that.

[Solid Snake]

What exactly was the injury? A broken tibia, dislocation?

I'm not sure if you can give a name to an injury where your leg snaps in half and the bone is sticking out.

[pauk]

I'm not sure if you can give a name to an injury where your leg snaps in half and the bone is sticking out.

Its called tibia/fibula compound fracture. Breaking your tibia usually always looks more gruesome than breaking any other long bone in your body because tibia has basically no support at all infront of it and a bit to the sides aswell (muscles/tissue etc.)... its basically just skin infront of it (touch your shin and see for yourself, you can almost feel the entire bone in detail), so when the tibia breaks then the skin will usually not be able to keep the bone from revealing itself :P

Looks he will be perfectly fine, infact the bone will heal up and be even stronger....

He was unlucky, but still very lucky imo... because with such tibia fractures there is big risk where the bone will pierce through more vital directions as it can severe/damage some arteries/nerves/tendons beyond repair.... leading to amputation.... hell if it severes that big artery there you are gone to meet your maker in 5-10 mins tops due to blood loss if you dont get help...

I have never seen anything like that. I can't watch that again.

The injury he sustained has now been officially renamed to the "Ware And Tear".

I personally think that's inappropriate. :no:

[AlphaWolf24]

Hold the F*** UP!..

( I've been reading more about the incident)

- Kevin ware was telling his team ( right after the injury).." Don't worry about it...I'm Fine...Just win"

- The next day he is using crutches to get around ( looks like he's even putting pressure on his leg)

- That man has warped the Basketball Space - Time continium.....We have pro Basketball players needing wheelchairs for shoulder bruises.....and floppers gettin Heated over people bumping them in the forehead....




:applause: at Mr. Ware......hardcore.

[edrick]

It's not uncommon for people with a tibia compound fracture to be walking day of/day after surgery. It looks A LOT worse than it is. The fact that it broke outward and not inward made it look even worse.

[NauruDude]

i hope ware picks himself up and goes for the draft. kid got future if he can rehab.

if derrick rose can come from injury ware can too

:lol GTFO here...

[Foster5k]

Wish this guy the best.

He needs to seriously start working on his legs. He has chicken legs. No wonder his leg broke like a chicken bone.

[NauruDude]

this must change the whole mock draft for next year know

I waas thinking can they make him honorary NBA director instead of Stern now??? I think that would be fair.

yes...skinny legs.....

look at this skinny guy....If only he had more muscle mass on his legs..

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2008/0303/mma_silva_throat_kick_580.jpg

:facepalm seriously...watch basketball...90% of all the great leapers have skinny frames....the fact that Ware jumped so high made it possible for a fracture.

anyone's leg will snap if they land on it and put enough pressure.

Because I know people that have gone through it. I know you must think he's the first person to ever have this injury... but he's not.

- so this person you know( compound fracture of the tibia) was on crunches the next day??

- I have never had a compound fracture of my Tibia..

- I have been playing BBALL and organized Basketball for nearly 30 years...

- injury's I have had.... many Torn/ankle ligaments....Torn plantar...Plantar Faciaitus...broken eye sockets....broken fingers...Sprained Knee, tendanitus..

even when I tore Ligaments on my ankle I could barely put any weight on my foot for a week.( Hospital told me to use a wheelchair for a week)

but since I'm so Alpha...I hopped around on 1 foot all week....and still balled

- all I was implying was...he snapped his Tibia/bone sticking 6" out his skin....next day he is putting weight on his leg/walking in cruches. ( rather then being wheeled around )

- I never said it's not possible...I said it's prolly not common...Ware is just damn Alpha....An Alpha giving props to another Alpha...that is all....

Alpha recognizes Alpha.

[d.bball.guy]

Wow he's already walking in crunches :applause: :bowdown:

Just happy he has taken the injury well.

[QUOTE=tomtucker][B]shit....they cut off his leg and gave him a white dude

[edrick]

- so this person you know( compound fracture of the tibia) was on crunches the next day??

Yes, and it also happened to him while playing basketball, basically the exact same way as Ware, except my friend was contesting a shot at the rim. His snapped inward instead of out like Wares. He was walking with crutches right after surgery. It actually happened only a few months ago.

I'm not saying it's not a big deal, because months after the surgery my friend can't walk too much or it becomes very painful he says.

[CavaliersFTW]

WTF** your a crazed man or a dumb :roll: :roll: you fk** think the took he leg offf and makeanother ?? no thats is paint no ta real legs , he didnt not have white leg now , its is april fools man :facepalm

That dude does have some skinny legs. Makes me wonder how Durant hasn't suffered the same fate.

[D.J.]

That dude does have some skinny legs. Makes me wonder how Durant hasn't suffered the same fate.


Skinny doesn't automatically equal weak. Ware either had a stress fracture to begin with and the landing snapped it, or he has some calcium/bone density issue. It's not normal to land like he did and snap your leg. I could see if someone undercut him or he got knocked off-balanced in mid air, but no one hit him and all he did was contest a shot.

[AlphaWolf24]

Very similar injury in a NCAA basketball game in 2009'..player recovered and is playing overseas!!

[UK2K]

Should have been cut after he skipped his court date for speeding in a rental car without ever mentioning it to his coach.

He should have been cut with Chane Behannan.

But Ware became famous for breaking his leg. Cutting him would be a bad PR move. So they medically red shirted him for the season. He didnt attend any games after the initial 9. Even home games.

Hes trash. And trouble.

Auburn and Georgia State will let him run wild.
