Two days, two horrific basketball injuries. This led me to think, when did the game of basketball become so dangerous? Everyone knows football is dangerous (concussions, snapped legs, herpes from strippers in Atlanta), but the basketball injury seems to be a new phenomenon. I myself realized the dangers of roundball many years ago, when I (at the ripe height of 4'6"ish) decided to become the next Spud Webb. I set up a trash can upside down, climbed on top of it, and attempted a dunk(using my newly acquired Pizza Hut Final Four ball), subsequently knocking the trash can over, slipping off the rim, and falling ass-first onto the concrete, the ball following to bonk me in the head for good measure. I thought my injury was painful, but good gravy, this weekend took it up a notch. For those who enjoy other people in pain, or are just sick, sick individuals, check out the links below:
