Kevin Durant, with a ruptured Achilles tendon, Warriors coach Steve Kerr has announced in advance that he's reimbursed for next season. But now there is a brother who has publicly shouted that he can make KD comeback in only half the time, and has every chance to catch up with the second half of next season!
"Listen, KD, I want to convey some information to you. Everybody's saying you're reimbursed next season, I don't like that attitude and I don't want to hear that again. I'm going to shut up guys who say a ruptured Achilles tendon will keep you out of the season. I promise to recover from a ruptured Achilles tendon in 5 months, and you can do it. Regardless of which team you end up with, I want to see you lift the Gold Cup next June. The man who said this was named Redick Moss.
Who is this Brother Moss? Isn't he really bragging? This is indeed suspected of attracting people's attention, but to be honest, he really is not running the train with his mouth full of mouth, because he himself has experienced a serious injury to the Achilles tendon rupture, and miraculously it took only 5 months to officially recover and less than 6 months to return to the field!
Moss, 29, 1.91 m tall and weighs 111 kg, is a professional wrestler who competes in the WWE development league NXT. At the end of May 2018, he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and the initial diagnosis was that it would take him at least eight months to return to the field. But Moss, who was not yet 28 at the time, did the miracle by getting a full recovery from his doctor in just 4 months, returning to normal training in just 5 months, and finally making a comeback in early December – 6 months after a serious injury – to play a game.
This recovery speed can only be described as magical, although there is no data support, but Moss has already "unauthorized" to declare himself the first person in history. After his comeback for his first game, he wrote on social media: "I want to be the first person to bless you. What you've done is unbeatable, recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon in just 5 months, faster than any athlete in the history of sport, it's incredible! Redick Moss, you inspire everyone! ”
So you're going to say that Moss shouting at KD is eyeballs, and that's a reason, but people have really done it, so you can't say he's rambling.
Moss also deliberately said to KD: "Don't go to Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant's recovery from the Achilles tendon rupture is not as fast as Moss, Kobe can't help you!" ”
Objectively speaking, what Moss did was really quite divine. In general, the heavier the athlete, the more difficult it is to recover from a ruptured Achilles tendon, and the 1.9-meter-tall Moss is more than 20 centimeters shorter than Durant, but he is heavier than KD, which makes it even more incredible that he can complete the recovery in 5 months.
However, an important problem is that athletes in different sports do not recover much in the same time as after tendon injuries. Wrestling may seem intense, but it doesn't require too much full-strength jumping and running, which makes it less demanding for an athlete's Achilles tendon than basketball. It also means that after recovering from a serious injury to the Achilles tendon, the wrestler may be closer to the pre-injured state, but the basketball player will be in significant decline.
If you look at some of the NBA players who have suffered serious injuries to their Achilles tendon rupture before, they all took at least 230 days to complete their comeback, and most of them dived.
Cousins, 357 days
Guy, 283 days
Matthews, 237 days
Jennings, 327 days
Bryant, 240 days
Billups, 296 days
The oldest of them was 35-year-old Billups, the youngest was Jennings (25), and Durant was about to turn 31. It took about 8 months for these players to make their comeback, but it will only be the end of February next year 8 months from now, when there are still many games in the regular season, and It is not impossible for Moss to help KD come back to the championship.
Even if it takes 8-10 months to get back on the field, KD can still not be reimbursed for the season, provided that the team he joins can go far enough in the playoffs. Although Moss's words are exaggerated, after all, he has done miracles, and KD may really call him and ask the old man what mystical therapy he used at that time, so soon he will fully recover!
