Let’s discuss Joe Ingles

[Rubashov]

That's one example. Now go ahead and match that with all the other ones incurred. 2 just this year. Exum for another. Go ahead and pull together your pickup game injured list and compare it to organized summer games. You act like organized games are less dangerous. If that's the case, and presuming that most players play pickup games each year, why are the vast majority of injuries incurred during organized play? Nice attempt at a straw man, and anecdotal evidence is nice and all, but next time try actually thinking.

Edit: 3 this summer, missed Barrett for the Canadians.

Did a quick Google search for basketball injuries. Quite a bit more attributed to organized play than pick up games. Shocking I know.

Edit 2: looks like Jamal Murray had an akle injury practicing with the Canadian team. 4 NBA players with injuries so far just this year.

Then add in Exum, and even Paul George a few years ago.

Still having a hard time finding many injuries attributed to pickup games other than boogie. Maybe he's made of glass.

Not that im here to support you cause i think you're an arsehole who should be beaten relentlessly with a stick. One thing to consider is the penniless nature of Australian basketball and the fact that our players are often paying for their own physios ect.

Still i think our guys also realise how important the team is to the sport and country, the boomers were the most watched Australian team at the last Olympics.

I will go on bout this tomorrow when im sober but loggrax is an arsehole.

No, but that idea doesn't shock me the least bit.

You should check it out. This microbiome research is awesome.

I’m an arsehole too.

But I also think nationalism (or whatever you want to call it) is stupid at best.

You didn't "trigger" anyone, no matter how much you like to think that's your impact, or how much your self-esteem is based on "pwning" anonymous people on the internet. You're just an *******. And you talk out of your *******. So you talk out of yourself. Weird.

Yes basketball players get injured from basketball activity. Imagine that. And the more basketball activities they participate in the more chances for being injured. So adding something like FIBA just adds more chances for injury. That's the point. For a useless activity, among guys who already take those risks in the normal course of things, it's a meaningless risk to take. So my opinion is they shouldn't do it. I would prefer to see FIBA be cast with young players like those from the g-league, who really need the play and exposure for development purposes and then the Olympics for the NBA players, to reduce the chances of more meaningless injuries.

Exum lost an entire season and who knows how much that set his career back. Maybe even altered the trajectory permanently. And for what? It's a meaningless reason to take the risk.

Useless?

And no, Exums injury has not hurt him that much. He just isnt that great and was never going to be.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it still fall?

You think Rudy Gobert is going to call a reporter to tell him he sprained aj ankle during a pickup game? Your argument falls apart if you start including anything that isnt major surgery because we have no way of knowing what happens during pickup games unless its major surgery.

For most things, but I think it is important for sports. Australia doing well puts Australia on the map so other guys coming up can have better opportunities.

It depends on the guys they are playing with. NBA players aren't going to the rec center and playing the guy in Jeans that hasn't played in 10 years that wants to undercut everyone on every layup. Guys are going to play much harder in an actual games which leads to greater risk and exertion... and more injuries.

So it sucks that there is greater risk of injury... but for a guy like DM the experience and reps he gets I think will be valuable in his development... Joe is already perfect so there isn't much benefit for him.

So just go back and identify lost games due to organized summer play and due to pickup games.

This I can agree with. However it certainly didn't help him become whatever he will be.

I don't deny that the experience can be valuable. I just dispute the risk/reward assessment.
