[F Gump]

I always thought his two greatest basketball resources were his BBIQ (ability to learn and adjust extremely quickly, for example) and his length. I never even thought of his running and jumping ability. I don’t think he got hit in the head or lost parts of his limbs, so I’d presume he’d return to be still rather good at basketball.

I've always thought of Lively as a "healthy or not" question mark that too rarely is in the "healthy" category.

But the question of damage to what he can PHYSICALLY do is an interesting one. 

And I wouldn't be so quick to render it an irrelevancy. You say all he needs is his mind and his height/length, but if he becomes slow up and down the court, and can't jump to be a shot-altering factor, doesn't that take away so much of his game that he's not really that useful anymore? Seems that way to me.
