Just saw this on IG and said to myself, “another day another AD injury “ come here and it’s the title

WHY DO THEY MAKE LOWS?

KOBE BECAME THE 1ST PLAYER
WITH A LOW TOP SHOE IN 2008...
nikkaS WERE ROLLING THEIR
ANKLES FOR DECADES BEFORE LOWS
BECAME A THING.

AD'S fukkING TIBIA WOULD
HAVE SNAPPED ON THAT PLAY
IF HE HAD ON HI TOPS.

THE LOWS ALLOWED IT
TO ROLL AND SNAP BACK.

​

High top shoes offer more ankle support. Idk how you can make an argument against that. Sports scientists have done studies on it.

 

[intruder]

I can’t even call him soft. He’s just fragile.

 

[pimpineasy]

Stop playing him at Center. He gets injured more and/or plays not to get injured (less aggressive). Play him at PF and get Tristan Thompson.

This.
Playing him at center yields good numbers but increases his injury rate exponentially.
He needs to lose weight and get back to pre Lakers weight.

 

[Goat poster]

Lakers should trade him while he has the highest value in the team.

he will be useless as he ages .

 

[FaTaL]

Yikes, can’t see why anybody can blame him, it happens if u ball

 

[King Poetic]

Dude Need to be playing in the wheelchair league, but hell he probably blow a tire

 

[horizon]

He will react to any injury long or short-term like his world just ended, head to the locker room, and either come back and play 10 minutes later or come back the next game like it never happened.

Dude has absolutely zero pain tolerance.

I done heard it all on here smh

Low top shoes allow the ankle to roll in this exact type of event and allow the achilles and ankle to flex when cutting...high topshoes lock the ankle in and support but do not allow it to flex when cutting.

If AD was strapped in tight in hightops this injury is quite possibly a break not a sprain.

 

[Weaver31]

We ain't on the court with him and we just fans but bruh got bad luck with injuries. I see why yall saying he gonna retire with Bron. Hell Bron's old azz may last longer than him.

 

[Mike18jj]

AD need to get right with God or ask the chick who put vodooo on him for forgiveness because something not right

Wouldn't an ankle.brace cause the same issue?

If what you guys are saying is true.. then 90%of the basketball sneakers made would be lows..

ESPECIALLY stephs sneakers..

IDK, my experience with performance shoes is mainly running, and those are low because of the reasons I mentioned. More stability shoes have deeper drops but never high of course. Now, basketball and running are different of course. While not 90%, there was a major trend to go low top in the mid 2000s and it hasn't faded.

 

[lib123]

If im AD im not taking the court without two ankle braces and some high tops on.

No way in fxck should it even be possible for his ankle to bend like that knowing his history. Idk why any big would hoop in low tops tbh.

Facts too many Bigs play with low tops.

THE ONLY STUDY
THAT SAID THAT WAS IN 1972
WHEN nikkaS WERE STILL
HOOPING IN CHUCKS.

LIKE I SAID NBA PLAYERS
AND FANS
DIDNT START ROCKING LOWS
UNTIL KOBE IN 2008...

EXPLAIN ALL THE
ANKLE ROLLS BEFORE THEN...

NOW HALF THE LEAGUE WEARS LOWS
BECAUSE THEY DISCOVERED
YOU HAVE MORE ANKLE MOBILITY
IN THEM.

ALL THIS THREAD HAS DONE
IS TELL ME WHO ISNT A HOOPER.

WTF DO YOU THINK WOULD
HAVE HAPPENED TO ADS ANKLE/LOW LEG IF HE WAS WEARING HI TOPS
ON THAT ROLL HE HAD?

I CALLED IT WHEN IT HAPPENED...
NO FRACTURE, JUST A SPRAIN.
​

KOBE LOW TOPS
PROBABLY SAVED HIM
FROM A BROKEN ANKLE...

IF HE HAD ON HIGHER SHOES
HE WOULD HAVE PULLED A GORDON HAYWARD.
