'I Thought I Broke My Tailbone'

[DHawes22]

Shootaround Notes: LaMarcus Aldridge Talks Injury Injury In New Orleans

What was going through your mind after the injury happened?

“That I had broke my tailbone or something, something in my back was fractured because it was just so painful that I felt like something was broke. I couldn’t move and it was just a really, really sharp pain going through my backside. I just was in pain. I was freaking out really.”

What were your emotions right after the injury occurred?

“I was mad at first because I felt like it wasn’t a good play to make by (Aron Baynes). Because the ball was gone and I had scored, so I was kind of mad that he even slid in there. It couldn’t have been a charge. So I was kind of mad at the way the whole thing happened. And then I was also mad because I had energy, and I felt like I was finna try to take over the game and be better than I was. So I was just kind of mad that it happened at that time, when I started to feel better. And then I was just concerned, because there was so much pain than I had ever felt before. And it wasn’t going away. So I was just freaking out.”

I don't believe this was Aldridge.

If it were, there would have been "you know" dispersed throughout these sentences.

Is he saying that he finally had energy, which comes and goes out of his control? That's what his critics have said for years. Maybe he's diabetic and doesn't know it.

there should be an English To Aldridge translator webpage that adds "you know" every fourth word.
