Oden Injury Prone, Bynum Bad Luck

The first time Bynum got injured was because stupid Lamar was just standing around like an idiot, and got his legs tangled with Bynum's. Out for the season.

I don't blame Bynum for the second injury either. If you have Kobe's peanut shaped head (it is a big pointy at the top) come at you full speed (wtf was Kobe doing anyways) you shall feel the pain.

I dunno too much about Oden or how he sustained the injury, but both have been pretty unlucky IMO.

Weird to think about, but Oden, Bynum, Bogut, and Jefferson are all injured. Four young big men with a great future ahead of them. All four are going to miss substantial time (not sure about Oden though). Meanwhile Fat Daddy O'Neal is healthy.

 

hmm, unrelated injuries caused by freak accidents? sounds like yao ming. but i bet you'd call him injury prone.

if you want to call guys like yao and oden injury prone, i think bynum has to be thrown in as an injury prone guy as well. of course, i'd call all of those guys unlucky. to me, if you repeatedly have unrelated injuries that's bad luck. if you have reoccurring injuries that just don't go away or keep coming back, that's injury prone.

 

Oden is injury prone to me, he's suffered these annoying nagging injuries throughout his career while Bynum has suffered some freak accidents.

What you could say is that if Bynum suffers a bad injury, he might be a slow healer; at worst I mean. The microfracture and wrist injury for Oden makes me doubt him for good until he turns it around.

 

what exactly are the annoying, nagging injuries that oden has suffered throughout his career?

 

The Bone chip recently that he's missing games for as we speak? That comes immediately to mind, and some foot problems the first game of the year. The wrist throughout his entire freshman year? He's brittle to me.

 

he hurt his wrist before his freshman year and had surgery. this season he sprained his foot(i think that's what it was) the first game and then went knee to knee with corey maggette which caused the bone chip. i wouldn't say that's necessarily brittle.

 

They're both just unluncky.

 

Yeah and he had to play his freshman year maimed; Microfracture out of no where, with what kind of tear on his body? He's brittle to me, he'll have to stay healthy for a few seasons then I'll take it back. Drew's injuries were immediate and severe impact type of injuries.

 

big toe infection, guy falling into his knee(broke a bone in his league just under the knee), and then a stress fracture in his foot(which if i remember correctly they decided occurred on a specific play but yao continued to play through it for a couple of weeks).

bynum has been unlucky. but so have the other guys. and they are routinely called injury prone.

 

Quite unlucky that Bynum had to be injured in the hands of two teammates...

 

I would say Oden is pretty injury prone. He messed up his wrist before his freshman year, he had microfracture surgery out of nowhere, he's had a couple of ankle injuries this year, and now he's got bone spurs. That's a A LOT of problems in a short time span.

Bynum however, was healthy as a 1st and 2nd year player, and then he got tangled up with Odom and ended his season there, and then landed awkwardly on Kobe's foot this year. His injuries have really been a wrong time/wrong place injuries.

 

so in your opinion yao wouldn't be injury prone either, right?

 

Not really...especially considering he was healthy his couple years in the league...then bad luck just ensued. Plus, at his size, getting hurt is inevitable, especially knee and foot injuries like he's had. That's a lot of weight crashing down consistently on him.
