Just an ordinary day for me like no other, browsing through the news headlines on August 1, Friday. The headline "Paul George suffers serious leg injury" really didn't caught my attention. I thought of it as some bruise or sprain injury that will probably sideline PG throughout the off-season and probably make him miss the entire Fiba International Competition in Spain this August.
However, not until I read the sub-heading of a news that say "Leg snapped like Anderson Silva and Kevin Ware" did my stomach started to turn.
I've seen some graphic videos of the injury of Silva and Ware and I have already promised myself not to see it again. But seriously, Paul George, PG24 himself from the Indian Pacers!
The video is too graphic to say the least, that his right leg bend like a straw. You can see the reaction of the players just how gruesome George's injury. Derrick Rose looks like his whole energy has been sapped, as he bow down, his head rests on clasps hands; Kyrie Irving looks like and crying he's a sobbing. James Harden (which George tried to block before his leg smashed on the stanchion) was kneeling down. All the players are just in total disbelief and shock.
As it is, Paul George will perhaps miss the whole 2014-15 NBA season or even longer. Most of the NBA players from LeBron James, Shaun Livingston (which similarly had a debilitating knee injury in 2007), Blake Griffin, Steve Nash, Reggie Miller, Shaquille O'Neil send their thoughts and prayers on Twitter.
