This season he is under 60%, he is getting even worse.

It is all those hand injuries. Broke his hand in 2014 and has had multiple hand surgeries since. Dude has had multiple dislocated fingers, torn ligaments, jammed his fingers and played through it all. He fumbles the ball a lot more nowadays as well.

Thank you for providing context. I can’t stand him due to his fan treatment, but he is also an awesome maniac out there. Context is appropriate

This clip is almost kinda sad with that context. At least he made millions upon millions playing a child’s game…I know plenty of people with broken down bodies that got paid a fraction of what he did doing work that goes beyond pure entertainment.

What does that have to do with his injuries

[–] ruffus4life@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

just putting things into a perspective i guess.

How is basketball a “child’s game”? Or are his hand injuries actually from pattycake?

[–] Goonchar@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's a game that children can play (without altering the rules).

League also screwed over his free throw routine by not allowing him to walk past the three point line anymore. Not saying it’s the reason he’s bad from the line now, but it certainly didn’t help.
