Non-Contact knee injuries are

 

[PacMan Jones]

that right knee tearing up was like taking ole yella in the back and giving him that shotgun to the dome. It was just putting him out of his misery, he's been playing terrible for most of the season (with a few flashes of brilliance). It was like watching Grant hill on Orlando during Dwight's first year.

nah it reminded me of rg3 stanky leggin

And its his healthy knee too.

Rose
Rondo
Westbrook
Irving
Curry Jr
Lilliard
Parker
Paul
D. Will - Sting bean ankles. Will probably be traded. Absent since he left the mountains.
Holiday
Wall - Exciting. Lots of talent, lots of potential. Still unproven. Not elite
Conley - Good, not elite

Dragic - See Conley
Nash - you know better.

Rubio - Injury prone, hasn't played 60 games in a season yet. He's exciting, but still has the potential to be Telfair 2.0. not elite

Teague - Exciting - not elite

Calderon - Old. Consistent, not elite.

Walker - Kemba? You gotta be kidding. 15 and 5 avg. is not "top shelf"

Jennings - arguable, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Still not elite

Lawson - I like Lawson, good PG, not elite.

MCW - Had a few good games, but is not elite.

Obviously the top 7 or 8, I would call "elite" and then the rest I would say are a wash with each other but no one would be rushing to replace any of these guys. Basically if one of these were your starting PG, you would be looking to fill out the rest of your roster.

I think you're overstating the depth of the elite PG in the NBA. The one's I said aren't elite, are not top-shelf. They're good guards but not franchise players as you say they are.

They just discovered the ALL a few weeks ago as well.

I don't blame you, go back to playing 2k13 and using ratings to rank your players. Yall, don't know shyt about basketball if it's not written on ESPN or Bossip

yes I listed Holiday, Conley, and Frency (I assume you mean Parker) as top shelf....what world are they not?

You do know Bob Cousy, Big-O, and Mark Price aren't playing anymore right?

 

[tru_m.a.c]

He was testing it in practice with the Bulls for weeks and practiced with them the rest of the season. If he wasn't confident in his ability to play at the level HE was accustomed to playing at, then he was right to keep practicing and return when he felt 100%. Knee injuries aren't regular scrapes or bruises breh, if you tear your knee up the recovery time can be different depending on the severity of the injury & the body of that person.

A doctor saying his knee was structurally fine doesn't mean he was ready to then go play a 48 minute NBA basketball game the next day breh

breh stop wasting your time with these nikkas

they want rose to go out, play hard on a newly recovered knee, and then at the end of the season have to get it scoped

they act like we don't have evidence from thousands of athletes about how hard it is to get back to full strength

let em be selfish and try and tell another man when to run, hop and skip

 

[CoolCappy]

As a life long heat fan I hope d rose knee is just a bad sprain

You can qualify elite, top-shelf, franchise however you want. The fact is the PG position top to bottom has the most depth in it then any other position and the distance between the top PG and the lowest one on that list is a lot slimmer than if you took the top SG, SF, PF, C and took the same # of players.

I think that's pretty evident and it's a shame I have to explain that to supposedly basketball saavy posters. Not gonna sit here and argue that Rose is franchise pg as opposed to MCW or Lawson...but if you have Lawson on your team, you're more than lkely looking improve at other positions before PG.

Don't know what you mean by that....And Big O was a combo guard...not a PG in the purest sense....He even played the 3
