Kevin Durant with his shirt off looks like a wet dish cloth. It's insane that he's one of the greatest ever while looking like some abnormally weak blend of prepubescent and geriatric.

But seriously, everyone talking about his frame and stuff... He's just old and has a history of a couple bad injuries. That shit is never the same again

You don't want to only wear high tops, because you want to build ankle strength by letting them be completely unsupported.

But on gameday, for many guys they absolutely do help. It's not like it's rocket science... A little extra support in a particular area is always going to prevent some minor tweaks, but if you always have that support, your ankles won't be as strong

I was gambling heavily back then and followed a lot of smaller conferences - one of which was the MAC. Manhattan won the conference in dominant fashion that year and won me a lot of money. I told anyone who would listen they would make a sweet 16 run. Their first round opponent: Syracuse - who I said they would upset. Pretty much summed up how good I was at gambling. Lol

I used to wear high tops almost exclusively playing sports. I broke my lower leg and dislocated my ankle when a player did a take slide. It was bad. Really close to being a compound fracture. They had to cut the cleats off because they were high tops. I learned that day if its bad enough high tops arent going to stop it. They just get in the way.
