Problem is that a lot of NBA athletes are injury prone because they're given these hyper-intensive training regimens and doing nothing but playing high level basketball from the time they're in elementary school so they're putting a ton of stress and mileage on bodies that are still developing. And on top of it, LaVar Ball was putting his kids through intense training pretty much from the time they were toddlers. LaMelo was playing professional in Europe when he was 16.
It's like if you took the wear and tear of high school pitchers in Japan and combined it with WWE's retarded strength coach who makes everyone do explosive-based Crossfit workouts at the Performance Center.
