Breakdown of the dangerous/cursed Adidas Rose....

[nathanjizzle]

So we had Sizemore and Webb tear ACLs and Kobe blow out his achilles in Nikes this week?

That's rough, definitely the shoes fault.

youre not even talking about basketball shoes

"KOBE'S LIGHTEST AND LOWEST SHOE TO DATE"


btw, is it a coincidence that all these players wearing light weight shoes are blowing out there tendons at the end of the season. d rose, shumpert, and now kobe? to much stress on the tendons over the course of a year and at the end of the game. this just stregnthens the argument that adidas light wieght material in there shoes are dangerous

Shump was wearing Crazy 8s. Don't think I'd classify that as a "light weight shoe".

Getting injured in a crammed schedule like Rose and Shump did, or at the end of a long season like Kobe did is more of a reason as to why they got hurt.

No shit?

There isn't a direct relationship from injury to basketball shoes...

The same injuries happen across different sports, all wearing different brands and styles of shoes, and yet they still have similar injuries.

or there shoes failed to have enough cushioning for impact and overtime there tendons weakened. maybe thats why both rose and kobe blew out there tendons at the end of the season, and near the end of the game. adidas are worst though since they dont have airsoles, nike does.

All Nikes have air soles?

Here I thought Kobes used zoom air, some shoes use lunarlon or whatever, and i think there is one more cushion they use.

Low tops give you more maneuverability, but the risks for injuring stuff around the ankle are a bit greater, if you land on someones foot or so and twist your ankle high-tops wont help you MUCH more either in that scenario, thats not the point... the point is the maneuverability presents more risks for injuries there, its more wear & tear on your ankles aswell, eventually something around there will just... snap....

Stop being dense, athletes get injured it's one of the risks involved in their trade.

Good thing Kobe has Ankle Insurances.
