Likewise. I saw that live, saw all the replays, and still, I don't think I actually ever really saw the bone protruding out of his leg like that. If I didn't know anything else about that picture, I would think it was fake.

The crazy thing is that there wasn't any real contact. I'm wondering how your leg can snap and the bone can just shoot through your skin like that just by coming down awkwardly.

When I was at summer camp as a 12 year old at Wilson high, we were playing that game where everyone except one person touches a wall, then rushes to the other wall while "it" tries to tag you. Repeat until there is a winner. We were playing that game in a padded room used for trampolining, and the kid next to me stretched out his arm to touch the wall as he ran into it. His arm folded, broke in three places in the forearm and the bone popped through. He did not even realize. He turned around ready to run again, and I had to tell him he broke his arm. He looked at it, and just froze. Freaking weird.

I hear that when something like that happens, the brain sorta blocks out the pain. For all I know, that could just be a wives tale though. I mean, I did see Kenyon Martin break his leg in his Cincinnati days, during the C-USA tournament, and even though I was sitting up in the second bowl, I can still remember him screaming out in pain like he was giving birth, so I'm not sure how much credence to give that thought.

I will be perfectly content in life if I never see the footage.

Me too! Not gonna watch it!

I can't watch it. Did someone land on it, or did it just give?

He didn't land on anyone. It was just landing wrong. I don't think it had anything to do with muscles or anything. The way he landed was a hard run to stop a three, then he landed on one leg sideways. The momentum just twisted hi bone to break.

In a high school football game, I was tackled. With the football on its end and my arm stuck upright (elbow on ground, hand around tip of football), one player hit me from the side and another hit me from the top. My forearm acquired an additional joint halfway up. I picked up the football with my forearm now molded to it, turned to my sideline and said, "I think I broke something". Several people vomited on sight.

I didn't feel a thing. I should have been in unimaginable pain. Instead, all I remember is me on sitting on the training table with our super-hot trainer on her knees blowing up the air cast for my arm between my legs. Thank you, human body.

Lmao! Great story and greater ending!

Also it seems soccer is a sport to avoid if you don't like milk.
