    the nba has lost their finest thespian. =( on set, doing what he loved doing the best.

    I'm trying to see where the mavs player makes actual contact for him to fall in such a manner. I can't see it.

    Yeah, his left arm got tangled in the foul, then he flops onto his right arm and that's the injured shoulder. One of announcers tries to say the arm was injured before he hit the floor, but his right arm was dribbling and never took contact.

    The flop on the floor was when he hit his right shoulder. I thought he had perfected the paratrooper roll by now. guess not

    haha

    Dislike his play all you wan't but to find another human's serious injury funny is pretty sickening.

    Please. A dislocated shoulder is far from being serious. And he did it to himself via flopping. And if you don't think he wasn't flopping onto his right shoulder,,,I don't know what to tell you.

    face it...floppers at some point risk injury like this.

    Looks like he tripped and then tried to brace the fall but I dunno, could be embellishing. I suppose he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt with you guys. Anyway, sad that he got injured and you could tell it was bad by the way he reacted on the way to the lockerroom.

    Even though I can't stand Kobe I didn't like to see him go down either time.

    He meant across the entire league (i guess lebron would be first?) but actually paul is less important to the clippers than griff because the clippers have capable wings but no big man depth.

    It will probably linger around him for quite some time. I never said he was flopping, I just think its sad that you think its actually funny seeing someone dislocate their shoulder.

    Heypartner has 30k posts on a message board. He doesn't have a lot going on probably lives for schedenfraude.

    not sure if trolling or serious. He's their MOST important player and it isn't even close. CP3 is a top 5 maybe even top 3 nba player

    I don't wish injury on Chris Paul, but I also don't think a dislocated shoulder is any worse to a basketball player than a badly jammed (dislocated) shooting finger. He'll be fine.

    In the mean time, laughing at him for injuring himself on a flop is going to happen.

    The irony is half of Chris Paul's game is based on embellishing contact to draw fouls when there is hardly any. Actually getting injured when trying to embellish contact is very karmic. Thus, an unfortunate incident turns into a comical situation.

    Much lulz.

    The word is spelled "schadenfreude." Get it right.

    a dislocated shoulder far from being serious? yeah he'll probably return to the same level of play but he'll have aches, pains, and cold sensitivity there for the rest of his life. yeah i don't feel sorry for him, but i'm not gonna laugh at him. geez

    So will you have "much lulz" if Harden smacks himself in the face while flailing to the hoop and suffers a laceration from his beard that sidelines him for 3-5 weeks?

    Actually nvm, that would be pretty lulz worthy. Carry on.
