Care to elaborate? rose has some of the worst landings out there, when he was mvp rose. im not sure if that's a speed/drive thing, how does for example, john wall land? he goes pretty fast too. | ||

It would be a decent study if some one took players like Rose, Oden, others who had major early career hurting injuries and see all their landings vs someone who wasn't' injured. It is impossible to draw these conclusions from a few highlights. | ||

Who thinks Melo gets traded and who thinks he is stuck in NY? I think he will stick, despite it makes no sense, because they are the knicks. | ||

Anyway, my nonscientific take on these landing kerfuffle. I believe than any athlete, especially NBA ones, know instinctively to land on the balls of their feet to cushion the landing. Even if you are not into sports of any kind, jumping would naturally instruct your body to do so as landing on your heels not only fees awkward, but it is also uncomfortable. So, as a general rule, athletes know the "proper landing mechanics" instinctively Now, isolate a particular jumping sequence. Multiply the velocity five times. Double the height of jump three times. Include three of four people on the landing area. Add in adrenaline and hype of the moment and surely the entire mechanics changes a bit. This is not to say that the idea is false. It has probative value, more rigid study is needed and the manner JimmyJ used it in this thread is completely ridiculously wrong. Kobe is definitely a bad example to use. The formula of X then Y, where X is bad landing mechanics, and Y is career shortening leg injury does not apply to him. The guy practically played all his 20 year career at a high level. It is more X + A + B + C ...then Y in his case. Rose, on the other hand, offers a good opportunity to investigate this idea. (Wade and maybe Westbrook fits the picture also.) All of them are high-flying, human-life-desregardig, players who suffered significant injuries early in their careers who could provide good data 1) IF they consistently have bad landing mechanics; and 2) IF consistent bad landing mechanics are a significant cause of career changing injuries. | ||

I guess he's just a postmodernist. :p He is an uneducated troll who thinks he is smart. There is nothing postmodern about it, just good old plain idiocy. | ||
