Did anyone else see what happened to Paul George's leg? Coach K even ended the Team USA scrimmage in the third quarter because of it. The NBA is going to look very different this year because of this. This was definitely worse than Kevin Ware's leg injury during March Madness last year and if you want to see and you haven't I'll warn you it's really graphic.

This was worse than Theisman's injury

It sure was Purple. I watched that about 20 minutes before bed. Bad idea.

Yet another example why the basket support (and photographers) should never be so close to the end line. Nerlens Noel tore his ACL running in to one and now Paul George breaks his leg. And the second injury is even worse, because now NBA teams are going to put a ton of pressure on their stars to not playing for the international team. By FIBA rules they aren't legally allowed to prevent their players from playing, that doesn't mean they won't do everything else in their power to prevent it though.
