It seems to me like people are getting ACL tears left and right these days. I remember it being one of the most serious injuries, but I don't remember like 10 people going down with one every year.

Adidas shoes have caused most of them.

Right, seems like an epidemic. It may be the PED's.

Well, a lot of shit is different now in general. Who knows what it could be. The shoes, it could be nutrition. It could be PEDs. Even legal PEDs.
I don't have a great memory and I can't really look up ACL history, but I swear more people are going down with them than before.
Just a crazy coincidence?

Or it could just mean nothing, and the particular players that got them, just happened to have an ACL injury. :confusedshrug:
without really thinking in detail about it, it seems to happen more often to guards/forwards(or am i entirely wrong). Maybe it has to do with they way the play. ie: stopping and starting, jump stops, etc.
[QUOTE=SacJB Shady]It definitely is the PED's. PED's increase your performance but they also make injuries that much worse when you do get hurt. So you are paying a price.[/QUOTE]
PED's actually help you heal quicker from injuries, and help prevent from injuries.
I wish Rose was actually on roids, so he would've healed properly from all those injuries last year. :facepalm

Only HGH helps healing faster.
[QUOTE=SacJB Shady]You're WRONG but that's okay. We know that MLB players took roids and this is not a discussion of whether you like MLB or not. Bonds was hurt almost a full year after breaking records and A Rod has been hurt for 2 years now and it's all because of roids.
YES you do heal from injuries faster when you're on roids. Yes, that's true. However, in the LONG RUN your body suffers more than it benefits and when you get seriously injured, it gets exacerbated from the roids. Your muscles get too strong for your tendons and ligaments so in the long run you will get hurt. Short term, yes you get better only to set you up for an installment plan, if you will.[/QUOTE]
It's gotta be more than that, though, even assuming that's true. They had to be using PEDs in the 80s/90s as well. It's not like people just started. But for whatever reason it seems like, and maybe it's just law of averages... but it seems like players, especially stars, are getting a lot more ACL injuries in bball.

But the players mentioned aren't older players.
I think players are trying to showboat more these days & trying to make more athletic plays which causes more wear & tear on the knee's.
I don't remember a team more destroyed by injuries than this year's T-Wolves. I'm sure there has to have been one sometime, but I don't remember it. Of course Love was a hand but look:
[B]Rubio ACL (yeah last season but still... he missed almost 1/2 this season because of it)
Budinger ACL
Josh Howard knee ended his career
Malcolm Lee knee ended his season
[/B]
There have been other serious injuries - Pekovic for example, had bone spur surgery and some ankle issues, aside from the Laker kidney punch - but not knee related.
And that's not counting [B]Brandon Roy[/B] since his recovery was a hope and a prayer from the get-go.
I had been suspecting their trainer, or maybe some specific exercise they do in practice because that's just crazy... I think all were starters at the time they got hurt
[QUOTE=SacJB Shady]But when you put the unnatural things in your body, you take a higher risk than if you do it naturally like Nash[/QUOTE]
Nash has had back problems for a while now.
There were a bunch of torn ACLs last year because of the lockout players were not getting proper rest.
