It's absolutely wild how he could demonstrate elite ability at a skill for so long and then it just vanishes.
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.
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.
How is basketball a “child’s game”? Or are his hand injuries actually from pattycake?
It's a game that children can play (without altering the rules).
