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.
So what you are saying is if a player can't return from an injury without being significantly diminished then that renders them significantly diminished? Thanks for the clarity.
However, Lively is 23. He is fine.
