Who was the last player to make a successful return after an achilles tendon rupture - and by successful even return to 85% of what they were
Dominique Wilkins When the injury happened: A January, 1992 game at age 32. Before the injury: Wilkins is a strange case, and perhaps not perfectly comparable, given his injury happened nearly 25 years ago with few similar examples since. But he was one of the league’s most dominant scorers in his prime. After the injury: No player has ever recovered to the same level that Wilkins did after a torn Achilles. Across Wilkins’ next two seasons, he averaged 28 points and nearly seven rebounds per game on 45 percent shooting. His numbers declined the next year, but Wilkins also turned 35 — it was going to happen eventually.
cp3 is way better player than wall. and I like Wall I’m just saying cp3 can legit shoot the three at a high clip and had the best plus minus of all players for years when he was with the clippers. Wall at his peak was never as good as cp3. now if Wall can be whatever cp3 was last year for okc getting 15/6 shooting pretty good from three im all for that over Russ. It’ll allow Wood to slide into being or the teams second best player on offense which imo he is at the moment baring cousins just turning back into the 27/13 monster he was before the Achilles injury.
I dont trust those videos... of course he looks good when he is fresh thats a top worldwide talent. question is how much his body can handle over the season course
