[NewsSource]

It's why he withdrew from the FIBAs. Not a good sign for a player whose game is predicated on freakish athleticism.

Yup. Griffing is just a lockout away from turning into Shawn Kemp.

Or Larry Johnson, T-Mac and countless others that had freakish athleticism cut short because of injuries.

Side note: I think Westbrook maybe the next one we read about

LJ would be a really good comparison. McGrady was a much better overall player than Griffin. He could actually shoot.

LJ could shoot toward the latter stages of his career.

Yes he could. He definitely developed that part of his game later on.

Maybe he aggravated it while he was doing backflips.
