Ok, I tried, but I can't help myself. I am weak (where did I hear that
again???).
This is about the most mind-numbing post I've ever read.
So, how is it that you land on your knees again when you dive for a
,.......what was it......oh YEAH a basketball..... HEAD FIRST???????
*THAT's* quite a trick!!!!!!
Man, I've been playing hoops for years, and diving for balls for years, and
could never dive head first and land on my knees.
Oh, and let me *fully* understand you're "logic"......
You are "guaranteeing" that it is more damaging to the knee to *just* jump,
than it is to jump, *and then* crash down on said knees with such force as
to slide all the way across the stage.
Oh, OOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!! And how do knee pads and a "reliable slide" (what ever
the hell that is) contribute more to damaging the knee??????
Shite! I fell for it again.
I forgot you just like to argue even when obviously, *AND I MEAN OBVIOUSLY*,
are wrong.
I'm sure we'll get a *full* explanation.
