Anthony Davis has poor genes for soft tissue injuries, it's not just bad luck

[Yes or No]

Wtf is this? I've never seen anything like it. It's not just bad luck at this point.

Injured finger and knee on same play? He's like the anti LeBron.

There's something wrong with this guy's ligaments and soft tissue. He scored through the roof in terms of mobility and coordination for his height but holy shit I would not be surprised if this guy gets a season ending injury just getting off the team plane.

He probably has a severe case of Marfan Syndrome or some other shit.

His finger was already hurting, I believe there was a bad alley oop attempt the other day where he hit his hand so he's probably a little sore. Other than that he just looks weird right now because he isn't in 100% basketball shape so it will take a little bit to get into mid-season form.

He does look somewhat dysgenic in the face and skull. Peanut-shaped head.

[Real Men Wear Green]

He may well be injury-prone but coming into this season out of shape like he is was terrible. Truly irresponsible of him. Almost like he wanted to punish Dallas for taking him out of LA. Conditioning makes a huge difference. The idea that you can get into shape during the season is the reason why Shaq only has one MVP and will be the reason why Davis isn't AllNBA this year.

And there's rumors that the bulls are willing to acquire him someday. The FO shooting themselves in the foot, as usual.

Almost read this as 'down'. Lmao.

^ I am praying the Bulls don’t acquire Day-to-Davis.

As for why he earned that nickname (that currently he can’t even live up to, cause he barely plays at all this last calendar year):

We’ve seen players with physical limitations and disadvantages have long successful NBA careers:

Pistol Pete Maravich is an alltime legend, and played a full career with a defective heart that wasn’t even supposed to make it to 30.

Magic Johnson played with undiagnosed HIV for who knows how many years.

Kevin Willis had one of the longest NBA careers of all time, despite arm length and hand size hampered by the Polio virus, and kidneys (and hairline) damaged by many years of anabolic steroid abuse.

Ron Artest was a crackbaby and fetal alcohol syndrome baby, from Queensbridge homes, and had a long and very eventful career.

Russel Westbrick, another likely crackbaby, averaged a triple double and an MVP.

Anthony Davis, if he had some lifestyle or dietary habit harmful to his career, we’d know by now. He isn’t abusing any recreational substance, he eats healthy, etc

It must be some sort of genetic deficiency, perhaps not full blown, but that he is at least a carrier for…. Carrier for Marfan Syndrome gene, or other FBN1 mutation issue certainly a somewhat strong possibility. Maybe Some sort of blood cell deficiency or low platelet count. Opposite of wolverine type sh!t.

Must be something along those lines.

Doesn’t help he isn’t mentally tough either.
And clearly doesn’t have a high pain tolerance.

This might be bro science but he appears to not have good muscle density. He’s kinda fluffy and soft.

As someone whose GF is an Ivy-league fellowship surgeon, and 2 of her siblings are also surgeons. A younger sister of hers underachieving as an RN, and whose cousin is a pediatric gastroenterologist, and another cousin doing the scumbag doctor thing with a rural practice that is essentially “a pain management clinic” read: legal opiate dealer to Medicaid peeps, allow me to make you less ashamed of “BroScience”, or at least elements of it:

The vast majority of young medical professionals, at their backyard yuppy-Esque parties, childish Mario Kart / Mario Party nights with the Asian young residents and fellowships, etc … all openly admit and joke about how your average devoted bodybuilder has better dietary/supplement knowledge than western trained doctors, as well as impressive levels of hormonal knowledge, and all manor of skeletal muscle and integumentary knowledge. It’s not some debate, they all openly laughingly acknowledge it.

For sure. Common sense can go along ways once you understand some basic fundamentals.

A group of friends of mine coached me on my first cycle. They knew their shit, I was impressed.
