Injuries are the biggest enemy of an athlete's career, and sometimes it is inevitable that players will be injured due to the intensity of the competition and the lack of adequate rest.
But at the same time, there are many injuries that are unexpected, or laughable, and this issue takes a look at the 10 most wonderful injuries in NBA history.
10. Barkley: Hand cream burns the eyes
In 1994, Barkley attended a concert by his friend Eric Clapton, and on the way he smeared some lotion on his hands. It happened that the light was shining on him at this time, and Barkley subconsciously rubbed his eyes because it was too dazzling, causing the cornea to be burned and he missed 10 games.
9. Boggs: Injured by sucking talcum powder
"Bug" Boggs is the shortest player in NBA history, and in a game in 2000, he played with talcum powder while sitting bored on the sidelines. Perhaps out of curiosity, I wanted to smell it through my nose, but I accidentally inhaled it directly into my nose, causing difficulty breathing and headaches, so I had to leave the field early for treatment.
8. Kevin Johnson: Celebrating being injured by a teammate
Johnson is a legend for the Suns, and he played well in a game in 1993, hitting a stunning shot to help his team win the game. Apparently teammate Ross Barkley was even more excited and took Johnson in his arms, but the hug directly caused Johnson to dislocate his shoulder and miss the game for two weeks.
7. Iverson: Recurrence of an old injury on the buttocks
In 2000, Iverson led the team to the Finals, scoring a good goal in a game and gently patting him on the ass while his teammates celebrated, causing Iverson to recur an old tail vertebrae injury and eventually lose the series.
6. Kevin Love: Broken finger doing push-ups
In 2012, after training at home, Lefu did a few push-ups in his spare time, but he fractured two fingers in his right hand and missed 6-8 weeks.
5. Nowitzki: Injured in his shoelaces
In 2001, after tying his shoelaces before a game, he just got up and stomped his foot, resulting in a tendon injury in his left ankle and went straight down for treatment.
4. Gerald Wilkins: Listening to jokes hurts
He is the younger brother of Donique Wilkins, the "human essence", and he is an optimistic and humorous man in life. After hearing a joke from a teammate during an intra-team training session, I leaned forward and backwards laughing, and accidentally kicked my leg and injured my thigh muscles.
3. Kendrick Perkins: Sleep injury
One night in 2007, Perkins collapsed his bed while still asleep, and when he woke up trying to escape, he found that his toe had been crushed by the bed, and he was forced to miss several games.
2. B.J. Taylor: Retire directly after applying ice for too long
In 1994, after playing a game, Taylor chose to relax with ice in order to relieve the pressure on his knees but accidentally fell asleep.
1. Hayes: Electroshock for drinking water
In 2006, Hayes participated in a charity race held by Maddie, during which he went to the water dispenser to fetch water because he was thirsty. As a result, the water dispenser leaked and was shocked on the spot, but fortunately, the final treatment restored his health in time.
