So Kobe doesn't take charges? and MJ and Magic never did either?

Bird and Pippen took charges and had bad backs. Are taking charges and bad backs related at all?
But we really shouldn't look at them. We should look at the league's top charge takers and whether they have back problems more often than non charge takers.

omg Nash has a bad back! it's true! taking charges will mess up your back!
never mind that there are 34 other players that are not bothered by it.
btw, i look down on taking charges for the simple fact that if the player falls down and the refs don't call it, the opponent gets an open shot with the defender on the floor. forces your team mates to close out the open man and leave somebody open and just generally fk up your defense.
not to mention it can go the other way and you are called for blocking. seems like a bad strategy if your players really aren't good at taking charges.

Bolded are players who have experienced back related problems/injuries off the top of my head. Kobe may be on to something here

9 out of 35 for 25.7% is really low. other extraneous factors are also not taken into account. for all we know, it could be diet or conditioning more than taking charges.

Bird dove all over the floor. His bad back probably came from the reckless abandon he played the game with.

This is drawing offensive fouls. Not all of these players get them by taking charges. Show me a video of Kevin Martin taking a charge. Lol even Smush Parker is up there... get the hell outta here with this list.

Re: So Kobe doesn't take charges? and MJ and Magic never did either?
I agree. A lot of floppers are the ones who are good at taking charges(ahem, Derek Fisher). Why risk getting hurt plus if you don't get the call you have taken yourself out of the play. Stay on your feet and just contest the damn shot.

I don't consider that low. I'd like to see a comparable list of players who play a equal amounts of ball but take less charges and see what their % is.
