As the article pointed out, KP's injuries were contact injuries and could happen to anyone, and there are things he can do about it (strengthening).
Naysayers could be right and he'll be injured half of the time all his career. It's not like I expect him to suddenly become invincible like John Stockton LOL. But given his dedication to the game I have confidence he'll do what he can, and with some luck he could turn this around. Maybe he could be a Bradley Beal and suddenly plays 75+ games for consecutive seasons, you know?
Don´t disagree. Just wanted to point out that a player of his size is not comparable to the average athlet. I am really torn on the entire gaining strength issue. Getting a stronger core and lower body is probably a good thing. Gaining weight and bulking up isn´t.
