aubiefifty 16,778 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 since this is about injuries does anyone think other than me sharife is taking a pounding by other teams to take him out of his game? i still think kentucky was trying to hurt or at the least intimidate him.

The announcers have been saying it in games. Main reason he needs to get stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky did the same thing with Barkley years ago, although they were more likely just hoping to provoke him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,059 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 It's only natural to get physical with a guy that excels in a fast pace style of game. It's nothing personal that's how you play quick guys. Small quick guys you bang on them over and over. Wear them down, make them hesitate, slow the pace of the game. Take away the easy transition points. This is another reason having a nice little jumper is imperative. This is exactly what they will do in the NBA.

Yeah, get well first and only after 100% recovery play BB. Its just a game, and I know he wants to play, but a degree in Engineering or something will get you paid pretty well, too.

It is a shame because it would have been a lot of fun seeing Powell and Coop play together and run the offense. I really wanted to see how Coop played off the ball. He is so ball dominate right now because he has to be but I wanted to see what his game looked like playing off the ball a bit. If nothing else it would have given him a chance to practice his 3 ball more. Really hope Powell is able to take it easy and get his head right. I have to think it’s pretty rare for a hit like Powell took to cause such extended problems. Hopefully they really check him out and make sure there is not something else going on up there.

ellitor 33,093 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 FWIW an insider on the bunker says there was a stretch where he couldn’t even walk without getting dizzy or blacking out. He is struggling. This isn’t his first concussion and the other bad one was from the back of the head too when he was in high school. Feel so bad for JP. I just want him to get healthy for his quality of life at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get himself 100% healthy for his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot imagine the stress he is under in the classroom and you know he wants to get on the court. That stress does not help him get better. Agree. The florescent lighting in the classrooms probably aren't helping much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how severe this concussion was I am more worried about his long term health then his playing basketball. My prayers are with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest thing for him has been the compound of concussions. He had at least one similar like it in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
