If this wasn’t enough to make you reconsider your NBA plans, maybe this next clip would.
That.got.to.hurt.
I would’ve loved to translate that in Jorge’s native language (Spanish), but unfortunately, I’m not that familiar with the language - and I’m not that pretentious enough to pretend that I do. haha
Jorge Garbajosa of the Toronto Raptors dislocated his ankle after a nasty fall during a game against the Boston Celtics. This is a big blow to the Raptors’ campaign considering that the 29 year-old rookie (yes, you read that right) is among their more steady players.
Did that make you sad?
Hopefully this puts a smile in your face. Sometimes, it’s just way better to stop playing after the whistle, eh?

That’s why I don’t jump high not mix it up in the middle whenever I get to play ball. I shoot jump shots with not much lift so that I wouldn’t risk excessive impact on my busted knees. Hehehe. Injuries aren’t too nice.
I get sprained a lot because I don’t like wearing high cut basketball shoes. Well, it’s the price you pay.
hi benj, off-topic. just wanted to say glad to have met u at the blog awards last night. salamat for visiting my blog too.
It was nice to have met you Sir Gibbs. The pleasure is all mine.
I’ve had my share of sprained ankles. I can safely say that I’ve sprained an ankle atleast 6 times each and had a plaster cast once because it was sprained so bad.
The one with Tony Allen, I saw that on tv. You’re right, you should stop the play when the whistle blows. That was really stupid. He got hurt all by himself. Hehe
A cast? Ouch. I’ve had a bad sprain before while playing in a internet forum league (Pinoyexchange). I was so badly sprained that I that I had to crawl from the parking lot to my building’s lobby - that took all of 20 minutes. When I was in lobby, I called up one of my friends to ask him to take my office chair from my room to use as an improvised wheel chair. I was on crutches for the next 2 1/2 weeks because it was swollen (and turning black and blue)and it hurt like hell. I couldn’t even place minimal weight on it.
To add to the agony, most of my classes where in the third and fourth floors of a building that doesn’t have an elevator. wahahaha.
