[Inside Rockets Source] Eric Gordon's Back Issues

Cue DaDingleberry* claiming the Rockets front office doesn't bother with physicals before bringing in often-injured players.

* His choice for a nickname, not mine.
<BR>

 

sounds like tmac style issues.

good thing is he is more of a jump shooter than an athletic driver/creator

 

So you're saying that his career could be over if Clutchfans rides his back too hard. I'll be sure not to post any negative threads on him in that case.

 

Lol. /\

 

Back is of least concern - legs are more worrisome

 

Yeah, not my choice, I am sure the Rockets are aware.

DD

 

It's all connected.. Scoliosis means the pelvis isn't level, which means the legs aren't either... question is, by how much?

 

I trust the OP. Anyways, he's obviously highly injury prone, thus the discount.

 

OP , who is your sauces???

 

A lot of information aversion going on in this thread.

 

The same could be said for virtually every thread.

 

Your description is exactly that of structural scoliosis... So, if it isn't that , then what is it? You don't know or won't say?

 

We know he's injury prone, or else he'd be somewhere else with a bigger contract

 

great Gordon going out for the season game 1 is now certain, thx OP.

Posting this for 2 reasons.

1. Gordon describes his injuries as "flukes".

2. The Times-Picayune used the Clutchfans YouTube video of the press conference.

 

"Our doctors have looked closely at their injuries and most are not recurring injuries,'' Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said. ''In fact all of them or we wouldn't be sitting here at this press conference.''


Weird quote.

Why did he initially say most?

 

A simple mistake??

 

Because he meant most, he corrected himself to make people believe there's nothing wrong. Eric definitely has some concerning issues which could rise up at any moment.

 

Dude lots of people have issues which could rise up at every moment, Curry's ankles, Parsons' back etc. Even Tmac had back issues before he even played and he still had at least a productive 9 year career.

If Gordon didn't have these issues he wouldn't be signed for just 11M, half the amount Crabbe got. Also we don't even know what these issues are, let's wait until he actually gets injured before we worry about it LOL you guys are acting like he's still injured now LOL.
