The German Knee Treatment has a downside that it makes the knee too slippery.
Blake Griffin was one of the first players to get the new form of this treatment.
Greg Oden got the early form of this treatment on both knees at the same damn time and hasn't played because he gained too much water weight and put extra stress on his fragile knees.
Brandon Roy may have gotten the surgery too, but we'll see how he looks with the Wolves comeback, since he always had a solid perimeter jumpshot.
D.Rose was allegedly considering this same surgery, but felt the recovery time would rob him of his quick first-step to his dominant offensive move (drive left + corkscrew turn, hard right pull-up jumper).
