And so,

I don't know.

I think to me, it's something that NBA needs to really look at is style of play modifications so that guys can be healthy enough to be out there and play because guys like Joker and Shea are not ducking just to duck.

They want to be out there and they're suffering real injuries and everybody is.

No Dunks

Right.

But if it continues to worsen and all the trends are saying injuries are up, you know, over the last five to six years compared to where they were previously.
