Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

Are there some people that really think Victor Wembanyama is'n the Best and most complete basketball player in this league?

it depends how you look at it.. Donut is the most skilled by far but Wemby may be the most league altering player since shaq

I'm not 100% sure. I've seen it mentioned a few times, but I'm guessing donut means all offense, no defense, or maybe "donut" as in fat and out of shape? I am guessing Doncic.

Wemby needs to be there to be a leadership presence in any case, it's a bad look not to be there for the biggest games of his and his teams professional career.

Its a bad look to have been concussed? Dude come on, you're better than this. Who was going to knock him if he wasn't healthy enough to travel? No one and anyone who does is fucking stujpid.

Especially a PHD who has made a career talking about how bad CTE is. Has very little to do with what Vic’s got going on and the risks going forward …

Yeah why would we ever want to listen to a guy who's developed an expertise in an issue talk about that issue? I agree that Vic's doctors have the best handle on what is going on for Vic, but this dude didn't say otherwise. Y'all are just taking it personally because it might mean your favorite basketball team might not have its star. There's nothing grotesque about speaking to people about brain health during a prominent brain injury. Whats grotesque is letting sports fandom break your brain your so much that you can't act like a reasonable person and have to make a villain out of a fucking scientist just because he says something that isn't totally rosy for your favorite team. Love you are somehow trying to slandering the dude for having a PHD as if that would make him any less an expert on brain injuries.

You can’t listen to all of the Internet doctors. You have to trust in the people that are examining him.

Especially with concussions which still isn't an exact science. Disgusting to see so many youtube doctors trying to diagnose Victor for clicks when one of the golden rules for being a dr is don't give armchair diagnosis for things you didn't examine.

It’s libel, not slander.

So if he passes protocol he shouldn’t play because nowitzki thinks he shouldn’t?

Donut = Doncic? Hes better offensive player, but the guy don't play defense at all, same as Jokic. Wemby is by far the most complete player tbh
 
Posting just to try to make this thread visible for me.

Edit: As soon as I go out and come back, this thread is gone for me, even though I just posted in it. This is why I created an injury post yesterday and why I was so mad at Scott when he deleted it.

Yeah this is not a twisted ankle or jammed finger. There’s no such thing as playing through the pain with a concussion. If he’s not cleared he can’t go. It has nothing to do with his intestinal fortitude or willingness to play through the pain for his team.

It’s completely out of Vic’s control.

He’s cleared when he’s cleared.

Good thing is typically a significant concussion involves a massive blow to side or back of the head or forehead. He took it on the chin and his brain didn’t likely move around his skull like football player taking a huge hit to the helmet. Like boxing chin shots can daze you but doesn’t always mean there’s a concussion.

Having coached youth football for years I’ve seen well over 100 concussions and it sure seems like a mild concussion that is a 3 to 7 day thing. Most mild concussions present symptoms for 24-48 hours and you’re fine.

In youth sports if you had symptoms at the time of the injury or within 24 hours but not after that… almost all doctors would hold them out for minimum 5 days.

Doctors like to see 3-4 days of no symptoms for minor concussions.

Weird, first thing that came to my mind is that you should check your filter to make sure you didnt filter it out.
