I heard AD has entered contract negotiations with Charmin to become their lifelong spokesperson.

But Murray with the real injury balled out

The way people get on AD and completely ignore lebum faking injuries every year in LA is hilarious.😂😂

AD is made of glass man. Dude and Embiid gotta be the softest big men ever

As someone whose had a bad shoulder for majority of his adult life. Get it fixed via surgery or quit the game. There is no in-between. It never goes away

AD needs a contract with Home Depot for Bubble Wrap 😂😂😂😂😂

He is gonna bitch about Davis, but doesnt say shit about Lebron and all his BS.

Dude has already made the t'shirt of LeBron James saying its just basketball 😂😂

He is still not the reason that they lost.......

That's Lebron seed planted in AD.

I’m an Occupational Therapist and Registered Functional Therapist and I can tell you that many shoulder injuries are caused by small forces in awkward positions. The rotator cuff is made of 4 relatively tiny muscles that keep the head of the humerus in a shallow concave surface called the glenoid fossa. It’s not like a hip, it’s shallow and it can be dislocated, torn, or even just a rotator cuff muscle can get pinched between the shoulder and the acromion. Look it up… it’s easy to injure. Then there’s this mentality that players should play through the pain… well, what if you cannot raise your hand? Sorry, you just can’t. Here’s an analogy… 4 workers with 4 ropes must raise a flagpole. They cannot move their feet but they can each vary their pull… they can raise it together. Now… remove one worker (one rotator cuff muscle)… now they can’t. Now bring back the 4th worker but put the base of the pole on a skateboard… now they can’t again. Now, if you want to call AD a liar… that’s just you calling him a liar. It’s possible… but it’s also possible that he’s injured on an old injury. Very possible! Ed Kaine

I had a stinger or whatever in high-school & never got it checked out. I remained very physically active & then joined the US Army. Every time I got very fatigued, the stinger would come back along with other shoulder pains without any contact. I never got it checked out & would always tough it out. Again, only fatigue cause the pain to return, it didn't require contact. With me going through that, I'm not quick to judge AD's shoulder pains, only a doctor can. It looked soft for him to go down from something so weak, but if you can't relate to having shoulder pains, then you don't know.

Lol! Kenyon Martin knelt on the floor having a mental breakdown during 2009 WCF against the Lakers 😂

🙋🏾‍♂️ I heard A.D. had a paper cut on his finger, fortunately they applied a tourniquet and stopped the bleeding.

Moral Of The Story: Bring back Howard and put AD back at the PF, he's not a Center🤦🏾‍♂️

I always found it easy to have a high tolerance for other people's pain.

It is easy to criticize something you have never endured. It was a very, very unusual injuiry but there is no doubt something strange happened and he was in intense pain.

A bad rotary cup can do that to you. My rotary cup is so bad from playing sports that I can't even lift the arm up at times ... In any slight hit will turn into severe pain. So in my opinion I don't believe he is flopping. But then again who was there to really know

Kenyon finally admitted it. Some players do actually exaggerate injuries to cover themselves from blame. Not even saying AD did that but i noticed dudes conveniently be getting injured when they’re about to lose, especially when they’re getting embarrassed

AD out plays the MVP and doesn't quit with his Arm hanging off the socket and still gets blamed. That's how toxic it is to play with lebron.

In high school an over aggressive teammate crashed down on my thumb in a non-contact free throw drill. For several years afterwards I would get an excruciating stinger in the thumb catching simple passes, dribbling, etc. Several years later - as a U.S. Marine - the unstable thumb is x-ray’d and it’s discovered that it had been cracked and heeled improperly; I took a hard pass on the re-break surgery. All those years of having people think I was grimacing for attention! Don’t judge.

I haven't seen AD flop and complain like the 'king' very often. It's strange to see a near 7-foot monster go down like that and I'm sure he played it up a bit to stop the clock but it happened on a play that didn't really benefit him. To me this looks like nerve pain, probably from aggravating an existing injury. Anyone who has had a rotary cuff issue or pinched nerve in the shoulder knows how excruciating that can be. He tried playing, briefly went to the back to get shot up with the good stuff then mostly fell off of offensive for the remaining game. As much as I dislike the Lakers right now, I don't think you're giving the best guy on that team a fair shake here.

I need that “It’s just basketball “ shirt 🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣

Shoulder injuries are tricky and difficult McCants knows this

These have got to be the 2 most ridiculous injuries I've ever seen. Just retire if your body can't handle little stuff like that.

It's not how hard it looks... the internal feeling for AD is all that matters. A small guy can hurt you if they catch u off-guard in the right spot.

Kenyon “Do As I Say Not As I Do” Martin lol

I swear you would have thought Martin was an all world player with 10 rings when he played the way he makes every topic about him.

AD has a history with his shoulder

And AD still better than all them bums

I had over 40 shoulder dislocations, multiple surgeries on both shoulders. One dunking, one being tackled. Most times I’d pop it back in. Never have I rolled on my stomach 😂😂😂

Thank You!

Even though players are soft today, how can u be bashing a guy that has a long injury history? It’s not like AD is trying to get hurt on purpose.

Most players are so soft nowadays lol

Thank you

Look at him...is the realist thing I ever heard. GET TF UP!

A Shoulder is a delicate joint and can easily be injured when in a nuetral position

No way Davis played that hard to fake an injury at that moment. U could clearly see he could barely move it. It doesn't make him soft. His shoulders are just susceptible

Im sorry, but 'street clothes' is one of the greatest and most deserved nicknames of all time. 🏆🤣🤣🤣

Each injury is different

I've had shoulder problems my whole adult life, it didn't happen from the bump by Porter. It happened when he went up with 2 hand to get a rebound and Gordon went under his legs and pushed him from the back. Arms flair shoulder pops . It happened to me before. He never got the surgery

The Lakers were done when J said ‘at the end of the day this is just bb”. 😂😂

When your shoulder is bad, it takes little to no contact to make it hurt bad.. What I got a problem with, is a bunch of dudes who can't even hold AD jockstrap, questioning his toughness, none of them has ever played at the level that AD does consistently..

AD is wasting his time in L.A! seek a better team.

This is why ignorant people shouldn't have a damn platform.

In the Grizzlies game Davis was hit in the right shoulder and went down. In the Nuggets game MPJ hit him on his left shoulder. Come on man, both shoulders? Yet he's slammin and jammin all night long. His shoulders can't be that weak.

I have a chronic shoulder injury. On many occasions, I thought the shoulder had completely healed. It will flare up at times and reinjure it just by coughing hard or sneezing. So going back to AD, I don't think he's faking it. That shoulder has been banged up.

Love that these guys are criticizing an NBA champion when there’s not a single ring among them.

The reaction was crazy though, call ne naive but that looked like a lot of pain for what seened innocuous.

He had a great season and lives through more than most everyone.

had a vacation booked already. didn't want to miss it

That podcast is full of 'tough guys' who did close to nothing on the court.

Only thing missing was the “Wheel Chair”! 😂

I currently have a fractured shoulder and absolutely could not imagine having to do physical activity using my injured arm. I’m a combat vet and like to think I’m a tough cookie but nooo this ish hurts. Every little movement is excruciating.

Finally somebody ain't afraid to tell it like it is. AD is stealing money from the Lakers, he hasn't even come close to playing half a season in God knows how long. How do people keep talking about how great this dude is.

Jesus Christ loves you and wants a relationship with you.

It amaze me how lebron do the samething and nobody say anything

Ad was the best player for the lakers this series, not only he was good offensively but he also contained joker very well this series, he did not stop jokic but this was not the usual jokic we see

AD in the 4th quarters: 3.2 pts 4 rebs 33.3% fg. So yes, he is soft. And this was happening last year too. He doesn't show up when it counts the most - at the end of the game. PS. Joker: 7.6 pts 3.8 rebs 64% fg

Lakers are dramaqueens! I’m not a Laker fan but damn, I miss Kobe’s time with the team.

Where this energy be at when LeBron be flopping all over the place like he died came back and died again? 😂 😂 😂

It's not about how hard it looks, sometimes your body shuts down on you. See it in every sport. Sometimes the worst injuries don't look like much, but the huge hits does nothing to guys, they bounce right back up. That man didn't put his whole year into this to just give up while riding momentum, getting his numbers, and winning. He got hurt.

Anthony Davis being a ' Gentleman ' volunteered to be a broom so they can ' Sweep ' the area 😁😁👍👍🏀🏀

How they call out AD on this but not Lebron? Dude acts like he gets shot anytime someone breathes on him.

AD is Mr. Glass. I've never seen a softer big man in history of basketball

AD was pathetic to go down like that.. I had to sit through a commercial break for him to stand up WTF

The funny thing is that last year it was the other shoulder. Message to teammates - You cannot count on me to "shoulder" the burden of carrying us. LOL

Glaring to LeBron. Lol. He probably taught him how to do it

Only immature people and haters make fun of another mans injury

There is a saying “ You are as great as the one that is leading you” …

Kmart is absolutely right. This IS a character issue. Even if MPJ hit so hard his entire arm fell off...that doesnt warrant writhing on the floor like that...not when you come right back into the game

LeBronze told him fake an injury so that they can lame it on not being healthy in the post game interviews. 💀💀

Kenyon is a bum..

Against the Grizzlies, it was his right shoulder. Against the Nuggets, it was his left shoulder.. Maybe he just has bilateral shoulder issues... 🤔

The new way for alot of superstars in the NBA is to fake an injury as an excuse to why they lost. LeBron did the same thing with his foot in the same game. Ja Morant does it ALL THE TIME in the playoffs when he starts losing. It's trying to give the audience an excuse to why they lost

As a Cincinnatian Kenyon Martin will forever be a star in my eyes

What I do know is that certain people have different pain thresholds than others. For instance, my sister in law broke her femur and felt very little pain. She has an extremely high pain threshold. What may be excruciating pain for one person may not be so for another.

I’m so glad to hear what the one time all star, never won nothing Keyon Martin has to say about competition and playing morals.

I love when Kenyon goes after players who he isn't qualified to wash their jock. For perspective, Kenyon was more of a bust as a number 1 pick than Deandre Ayton, yet never gets any of the smoke.

Leave this man alone

As a old school NBA fan. I'm 52. Two things 1 I remember the wars the blood.. but more importantly the never say die mentally. Come on Steve Kerr had a fight with Jordan. And Steven was like ohh u will respect me Mike. I joined the army at 30. So u can say I'm fond of toughness. But wtf was this weakness. Damn. All money no heart.

Preach

I AM GLAD SOMEBODY ADDRESSED THIS BECAUSE I AM NEW TO WATCHING THE GAME AND SEEING THAT I LAUGHED... 100% ACTING LIKE A CHILD..

That was it lol. Oh yeah AD wildin

I don’t think that he's faking, he's just fragile. He was always hurt with the Pelicans, sports isn't for the fragile.

Never seen a grown man fall to the floor from a hit on the shoulder.

That man drinking a Shasta...I didn't think they still made them shits lol

The guys in today’s game are bigger, stronger and faster than ever but they still lack the toughness of old.

So ima break it down like this: He’s playing out of position. He’s not built to play to center. He’s a power forward. He plays with skill and finesse while centers typically clean the boards and get physical. AD has suffered multiple injuries over his career, so now you expect him to play the 5 and bulk up but don’t expect him to get hurt??? Height and weight matters in basketball and this is bound to happen to any forward or guard. Hell lots of people theory monte Ellis having a downfall in the league due to him getting banged up playing the 2 over the years of his run in the nba. I say all that to say: DO NOT BRING BACK DWIGHT, GO GET A DECENT CENTER AND PUT AD BACK AT THE 4

My first thought was maybe a shoulder dislocation or subluxation. It can happen again that easily if the person has a history of it and it was healed improperly. I don't know if Anthony does. Minutes later, I threw that idea out because the staff did not respond as if it were. A dislocation is out the window because we'd be able to see that when they zoomed in on him on the bench. Either way, they would've had him in the locker room to be sure there are no tears; especially since he couldn't lift the shoulder. Then if you watch him play afterward, he wouldn't move the arm much while on defense, but he did on offense. So it wasn't as serious as he showed.

As a young FF/PM I remember going on calls with young, healthy looking guys that were stuck on the floor whining like crazy about the back spasms they were having. We would sometimes joke (out of the patients ear shot) that maybe he needed a “man pill” and too bad we did not carry those in our med box. Fast forward years later when I had developed all sorts of back issues and I never joked about that again, and realized none of the older firefighters ever joked about or doubted someone’s back pain. Not a fan of AD but I will cut him some slack on his health issues.

AD is so tender that It actually hurts.

Lmaoooooooo I agree I said the same thang when I seen it !!!

Once you have had the initial injury it is so so so much easier for it to happen again unfortunately.

What they are failing to say is WHY wasn’t a foul called. THAT was a HARD NON-BASKETBALL hit. He must have a problem with his shoulder that Michael Porter Jr. obviously targeted. This reminds me of when Kelly Olynik pulled Kevin Love’s shoulder out of its socket and left him incapable of playing during the 2016 finals.

He's shoulder was f up before that bro, put thinks into context. He played amazing

AD channeling his inner Michael Jackson with that interview

AD is not a center. Play him a t PF and sign or trade for a quality center..

The NBA is the new soccer

Shooting the basketball over multiple times puts more force then a bump like that. And contested rebounds even more depending on it. We found the new Ben Simmons
