Ugly shoes cause injury?

I am guessing his shoes are made to exact specs of his feet. And if he needs additional support in certain spots to help prevent injury, my guess is they customize them to accomplish that.

If ugly shoes caused injury then the majority of NBA players would have injuries from the shoes they wear.

I'm guessing Embiid's shoes are NOT made to the "exact specs of his feet".
That being said, I am guessing you are correct that if he needs additional support in certain spots to help prevent injury, my guess is NOT "they" but someone else customizes them to accomplish that.

Of course plenty of players have had foot/ankle/leg/knee injuries who have worn shoe brands known for making Basketball shoes but I can't help but think about guys such as Joakim Noah, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball, and Grant Hill, who all wore shit shoes and developed serious issues. I know Noah and the Balls question the shoes for their injuries. I don't blame them.

She dumped a second rounder for a first rounder.

I think Big Willie is doing just fine without her.

She's no Lisa Braun.
Or whoever his brother is with.

Few guys in action last night.
Och and Dick getting the start.
Och 6 points in 19 minutes
Dick 8 points in 23 minutes

Oubs 16 points in 24 minutes
Graham 0 points in 12 minutes

Q Grimes was the top scorer in the Mavs / Clipps game. 20 points 7-11 FG 3-7 3pt.

He's really surprised me in the NBA. He picked up a work ethic somewhere along the way because he's gotten a ton better since he left KU.

so Gradey Dick is my new favorite Jawhawk in the NBA.

I love Dick so much!

Prob the biggest Dick fan on the internet.

Preseason... but still. Might have to watch these boys play this year

dirty sock, same nonsense

why even change the name if the schtick, jokes, and maturity level are all still the same?

desperately needing to be funny isn't all that awesome.

I have one of Mario's #6 jerseys. I know, I know, of course I do.

Needs guards and frontcourt depth but would otherwise be a serviceable nba team.

Not sure about serviceable. That might (would) be the worst team in the NBA.

But not many colleges can create a better team of current NBA players.

you think?

even if we hypothetically added the aforesaid guards and front court depth?

I mean, I guess they'd be serviceable if the hypothetical guard added is Jalen Brunson or Steph Curry and the front court "depth"are 6th man of the year caliber.

That team up there you provided only has 3 guys who are regular starters....and 1 of them, Embiid, has said he is probably done playing in backs to backs.

If Oubre and Wiggins are your 2nd and 3rd best players, that's not ideal.


I wonder which college can put the best team together of former players? Nova has guards but no bigs. Probably UK? SGA Fox Murray Booker AD KAT Randle?

That team wins 15 games all season and those are the nights Joel goes nuclear.

Wiggins I think is still a better player than Oubre, even though he had a drop off season last year, but both probably aren't top 150 players ( Wiggins was at points in his career though ).

dunno whether or not now is a good time to mention I think Gradey Dick could break out...
