    For a sprained ankle? 75% of the roster probably has sprained ankles right now.

    Meh, the offseason will be here before he knows it.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    Umm I'm not sure that's the argument. I think the argument is he gets hurt too much. Honestly though, if Kobe or even (as AD said) 75% of the league posts picture of sprained ankles, the twitterverse would be flooded.

    I don't really care about anything other than Eric playing well. With or without ankle sprains. With or without nagging injuries. I don't care; just play good basketball.

    bad knees, bad back, bad ankle, bad attitude, bad performances, bad contract
    never assume

    People say he's not tolerant to injuries, and the slightest bit of pain he gets he needs to rest it off. With his type of game, of course he's gonna have injuries. He's so damn aggressive, the bumps and bruises come along the way. Look at D-Wade. Feel like watching Gordon is like watching Wade almost.

    Most people speak in hyperbole on the boards and are uneducated in general on the situation and the fact that he wants to play in B2Bs but he's not cleared. Regardless, the main argument against Gordon is that he's injury prone, and you hit the nail on the head on why that is. He's 'so damn aggresive'. He needs to learn his body and understand what he can and cannot do if he wants to play the large majority of the season. His pull up jumper has to become elite. I have also called into question his preventative type exercises. I don't know his routine, but I often wonder if he is taking the proper precautions to strengthen up joint supportive muscles.

    Wait a minute. Hold the phone! Gordon is playing with an injury? Nahh, that's gotta be a pic of someone else's ankle right?

    The team will probably shut him down tomorrow.

    Ankle sprains are common for eveyone who plays basketball, athletic or not. Especially if you have flat feet.
    2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!

    it's probably not a good idea to throw max contracts at players who are made of glass

    Bingo!

    Well Arian Foster (prior to last season) sent out a picture of his X-ray showing his jacked up leg, and he went 18 games dominating. That's football. It's physical. Gordon Sprained his ankle and his brother thinks its a sign of how tough he is? Gtfo!
