A bizarrely underreported angle in all this is Durant’s history of injury on that side of his body (2 prior foot surgeries I think?) Everyone I talk to who understands body mechanics sees this as likely interconnected, and the calf and achilles as likely related, too.

Team doctors have a clear conflict of interest. But it was reported Durant had advice from his own doctor, who is treating him now. If team doctors were to gove blatantly conflicting advice (no risk of re-injury vs. risk of injury), he would know.

Are you sure he doesn’t have authority to determine if a player is ready to return? He can’t diagnose and he can’t do surgery but it sure looks to me like he is the final say from the medical side.

The elite players have unlimited personal resources and their own doctors so they’re getting unbiased input already. 

Sorry but this guy thinks he can wear the jersey of the classiest, smoothest, most controlled and exquisite player of this generation??

Flesh colored is not the preferred nomenclature, dude.

Yeah, the solution to sexiste assholes is to keep women out of sports broadcasting. Go to hell.

That’s really interesting and I hadn’t considered that. Uncomfortable does make her more passive and I thought she handled it like a pro and looked pissed and like she had some choice words for him but just kept it professional. I hope she ripped the scheduler to pieces after and called Steven A on not opening his mout…

Oladipo talks about him on his appearance on the Woj Pod and it seemed to me it’s a weird dynamic. Oladipo was disappointed his father wasn’t really into basketball and said he sometimes “visits him at his office.” Oladipo then talked about watching Home Alone or Home Alone 2 every single day of his life and I…

That’s a good point. What about OJ though? My local morning show, KNBR, is my favorite vice and they are usually fun and cover a bunch of things but I was so turned off that even they got on the OJ bandwagon because of the “great content” while simultaneously saying what has society come to. Lightly covering what OJ…

We live in a society where double murderers are welcome to build a huge presence on twitter. I don’t think LaVar will have any trouble getting booked on TV shows. Ever.

I was just glad to understand something about NBA trade/cap issues for once...

Didn't the first offer in February include Kuzma? If the Pels don't move the 4th pick for someone good this seems worse for them.

He's a free agent, they don't have to give up players.

In next year's NBA it will be smarter to just start the Muscalas and Bongas every few days and rest your stars. This postseason showed us it's Hunger Games and recovering and resting is key. LeBron was very smart to sit so much last year.

This debate is the next Yanni/Laurel. Just drop it!!

I’m sorry to hear Google is not available on your internets.

And lost in the story is the fact this was the Warriors floor so the fans were NOT trying to stream on the court in some big crowd, this was singling out a guy.

Sorry, you’re phrase it not available on the RM69. Try again.

I think you mean the American oligarchy.
