Unbelievably unlucky and freak accident for such a great basketball player/person. I'm as big a Celtic fan as anyone, follow them as closely as I do our Huskies, and to see that unfold 5 minutes into his Celtic career was heartbreaking. To start his 4 year contract/journey with the Celts this way, the highest paid player on the team, makes me sick to my stomach.
It really was exciting to predict what this team was set to accomplish this year, but with this injury it completely changes the game and makeup of what this team can get done. There's one good thing to come from this, the young guys are going to get priceless experience and grow up far faster than what was expected (sounds familiar). I immediately picked up Jaylen Brown in both of my fantasy leagues, kid's going to have an unbelievable season now that this has unfolded.
If I we're Gordon I'd place a phone call straight to Paul George and get some advice from someone who has gone through something as horrific as this smack dab in the middle of their prime. First game of the season....un-duck* believable. You can't write this stuff....classy by Lebron to go give him some love after he got carted off. I'm going to go drink some more beer to drown my sorrows. So unfortunate...
