Nike KD 12

It's not madness or spin, and KD wasn't strong-armed. It's out in the open that he wanted to come back ASAP. But you don't have to be anything more than a low-level member of the training staff to know that a weakened leg, especially a calf muscle, will cause you to overcompensate elsewhere. That's why it looked like a bomb went off within KD's leg in slo-mo.

It's not a conspiracy theory. I'm sure they had tons of doctors and second opinions, but clearly the focus was on "when can I get back" and not "what COULD happen if I come back?"

It's just sad for fans of basketball. I hope he makes a full recovery, but there's also the chance that we've seen the best of KD we're going to get. :frown:

It’s madness to me because you and many others in the media/online are making it seem like he got strong armed to get on the court and none of his management team did their jobs at all. That’s the madness I’m talking about. Many are saying it’s the Warriors fault like KD has no agents or anybody else to get a different POV from. Maybe they shouldn’t have let him play in hindsight but I just find it very hard that KD didn’t have people outside the Warriors also co-sign this stuff about his injury. Maybe I’m giving KD too much credit and he didn’t but I hope not. How many when he was rolling in the first was like yeah he’s done shouldn’t let him play?

Just want to be clear it’s all good over here just have a difference of opinion on this. No beef at all my guy.

The truth will come out in no time! We are all just speculating at this point...

Prayers up for KD...
 
Are the University Red pair fully released over in the states or just popping up on certain sites & retailers??

Are they up on nike, footlocker, etc?

I hear all of this and I’m with you but if you listen to him and the things his mom is coming out and saying, he’s very well aware and in touch with his image and how he’s perceived by all. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he was influenced at least.

5's might be GOAT basketball shoe

4's and 6's

if you hated those 3 out of the 12 or so shoes then clearly you didnt play ball in them. those are the 3 best performance shoes nike released

What were you hooping in prior to the 12? What happened (what move/play) on the tear? You already have surgery or has it been scheduled? Best wishes on your recovery.

Harden v.3's mostly prior to the 12s. It was a hesitation drive on the right side, actually not all that different than KDs play except i was turning the corner on the defender and going baseline. That plant with the right foot and felt the pop in the right knee.

Seeing a specialist next week. Hoping it's a small tear no surgery required. Can move north and south mostly okay. It's cuts, plants, jumps etc that it fires. Appreciate the support. Anxious to play again...but it probably wont be in 12s.

This pair is amazing. Best KD’s I’ve seen in a long time
 
Yeah that is a weird ad. I wonder if they got the ok from KD. If they did get the ok, then he knew the risks of playing and more power to him.

My thinking is that his achilles may have been partially torn along with his calf and it was going to require surgery anyway. He probably had a feeling that this was going to happen which could also explain why he didn't practice much leading up to the game.
 
That was the speculation from the beginning. That it was more of an Achilles injury and not a calf injury, and that speculation grew every time he was seen icing because of how low down his calf he was icing.
