Gilbert Arenas Details The STRUGGLE Of Overcoming Injury 

I tore my ACL and meniscus and got surgery and went to rehab. Made me really appreciate what athletes go through on a whole different level.

Yo Kenyon making my knees hurt 😂😂

I got a lot of respect for D. Rose and G. Hill. For their comebacks after comebacks

This show is real. Its dope getting stories from the athletes perspective

Remember the trainer in Portland who was supposed to take care of Brandon Roy and Greg Oden? I read an article by a kinesiologist who went to examine them (their joint functions and way of moving) and who warned that trainer about their biomechanical imbalances (in their ankles). The trainer would not take it serious and therefore did nothing to adress it. We all saw what happend to these guys.

Kenyon makes the listener feel what he's saying

Martin was a BEAST. Played his heart out. Definitely wanted him on your team!

“It’s called WEED.” 🤣👏 Best medicine. 🗣️💯

Dope how they tellin the real! For Kenyon to even have a full career after what he went thru in college is crazy. i remember watchin him play. beast !

Fans think injury (like playing the game) is like 2k (simulation). They make the money they make for a reason. Players go through it year round.

I had a trainer in hs get mad at me for going to the doctor for what he said it was a strained knee. MRI showed a torn meniscus. Obviously can’t compare to these guys but yea I get it

I ruptured my Achilles and has surgery. 5 months later, I’m at 50% of where I used to be. People don’t realize how much punishment athlete take to play.

These are the conversations that civilians never hear. Y'all are warriors.

Kenyon talking about what he went through was greatly appreciated. As a basketball 🏀 fan I never thought about that part of what these players go through . The Sacrifices that you all went through 😮Wow . As fan’s we watch and cheer, but we never think pass that THANK YOU KENYON AND GIL FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME. I SALUTE YOU 🙏🏽PLEASE DO ANOTHER SEGMENT ABOUT THIS TOPIC ABOUT LIFE AFTER BASKETBALL. THIS WAS VERY INTERESTING.

K Martin keeping real lol

3:00 It reminded me of what recently happened with Victor Oladipo and the Pacers also it makes me think of Derrick Rose situation in Chicago when they would rush him back

Shout out to Kenyon dawg we love you for sharing your experience brother, pain is relative but most importantly relatable…

Man after I went through tearing my meniscus and walking around on it for 4 months then having surgery then rehabbing it’s hard as hell and depressing you really feel helpless after having surgery. It gave me a new respect for them dudes going through that then getting back out there to play

Sounds like a doctor from the Veterans Administration 😢

Kenyon “knowmmmsaying” Martin 👏🏻

I knew Kmart was tough but damn, salute to him.

Rehab is literally like learning how to walk again as an adult

This was one of the realest clips I’ve seen on here! Loved it!

One of the best episodes !

Great topic and insight.

Enjoyed this episode

1. Always get an MRI with contrast. 2. Isn't Dr. Trainer the one that said Keith Van Horn was fine but he had a broken Ankle?

I’m so glad y’all spoke on this. How many athletes have suffered through injuries or worse lost their careers

Kenyon said he was "unsolicited" crying, lmao 😂 Now that's Pain.

Powerful testimonials

Very good video…great information…..

Real convo … salute 🫡

I remember when Kenyon Martin got hurt and this happened I can relate to it. I was very happy and relieved that he found the right doctor and end up playing more NBA basketball 👍🏾. On the other hand I can relate to it I having a torn patella, chewed up meniscus, repositioning of my heel and extension of my achilles tendon. Doctors as far as I'm concerned with butchers and they basically experimental. Wish I was in a position as you brothers were to avoid better doctors but thank God you all made it and Hall of famers in my eyes. As a basketball player who never got that far but always in my love the game. To God be the glory I've had a total of 20 surgeries major 😇😇🙏.

30 years of work packed into 10 years or less. We don't feel that. Our knees click for less

Great conversation. Awesome stuff.

When kmart speak more he shows his true value to the show hes a gem to the show💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Mannnnnn!!! I had MRSA before on my stomach. Decided not to take the pain medication when they cleaned it the second time. Lawdddd!! Straight scrapping my flesh. I learned how a animal feels getting cut on with that blade.

This conversation got real real man, injuries, surgeries and rehab, thats why they get payed millions, they literally sacrifice they body to entertain bruh Sports is the modern day gladiators no cap!

Respect for sharing these personal stories

They was draining Mike(Wizards) knee almost nightly and they said the fluid was black. Mike played on one leg and averaged 20.

That's why it's so impressive to see Jamal Murray come back even better than he was before the rehab.

Makes me wonder more about Kawaii and Spurs

Doctors really messed kenyon and Gil up . Especially kenyon he was robbed of all-stars selections all nba selections all defensive nods and possible a hall of fame nod

2 Achilles surgeries within 5 months of each other. It’s been 13 months since the first one and still can’t really run. The amount of strength I lost in my calf is Wild. I’m walking around with one big ass calf and one slim Jim 😂

My man K-Mart is different. The realest!!!

I believe thats the reason Kawhi left SA was because of the misdiagnosis from the staff in SA, I dont think hes fully recovered still.

Love KMart man, great story teller! Was a real beast too! 😂😂

And these convos are why you never hear players bashing another for an injury.This video made me realize why 1 month the team comes out and says rehab going exactly how it’s posed to then the next month they say it was a setback or they got reinjured.Zion and lonzo perfect examples.

My brother sent me this video because my dad is currently refusing rehab and is sooooo mean to my mom and he is not a mean person. I truly appreciated them being so honest. I never thought about half the stuff they were talking about. How athletes just disappear after injuries and how they can be mean during recovery. I had to bust out laughing when homie said he would choose his mom over his girl. Why?! Why. His girl I am sure loves him and wants to be there and take care of him. It just shows how sometimes men and women think about situations differently.

“Just take this leg, I’d be in this mf 🦼 🦽 💨 “ 😂

This is why the leauge needs a union for this players after they are done

Kept it real in this one

It's stuff like this that makes feel for athletes. Especially when people say they just playing a game they don't really do anything.

That’s why I don’t get how people mock Ben Simmons. This guy got a spine surgery. I got a hairline fracture on my back in 2015. To this day, I don’t function the same. I don’t sit, walk, sleep, or do day to day task the same way anymore. And this guy is bumping with giants.

I appreciate this group keeping it 100000% My son is 16 and has tendinitis in his knee. The pressure to come back early early is real! Hearing stories from these vets is what you need to put your Heath and body first

This conversation was exceptional.

Man I’m 2months into my first injury ever and I ruptured my patellar tendon and everything they saying is 100% true! Man I pray I never deal with another one before I go but to any and everybody out there dealing with a injury PLEASE GO TO REHAB and continue to rehab forever to help not have these same stories for you

Kenyon is hilarious 😂

The dark side of surgeries stories told... this was Wild...

Us military guess being going through similar shit. I had a nerve burned in my back smh. Literally got cleared 5 months for a deployment after ACL and meniscus surgery. Shit ruined me for life smh

“ so u got a dimple right now “ 😂😂😂😂

I’ve been fortunate enough to have drs and trainers that care enough. I remember when I cracked my knee cap ts was terrible

Love and Like is what seperates pros and wannabes. I didnt love it enough after High School. My Knees were shot at 18! No cartilage.

I remember I hurt my knee freshman year of high school and went to idk how many doctors and they all gave me a different diagnosis but never thought it was serious, fast forward to senior year my knee is still bothersome and then come to find out the tendon that keeps my patella in place was absolutely shredded causing my knee cap to just move all around my leg and I had to get patella surgery to fix it. If doctors are that careless with me a high schooler with no chance of playing pro, imagine what they do to guys that make them millions.

Best Sports Podcast hands down.

Rehab is always a hard because your body is mending. Especially after a complete katella surgery it's like learning to walk all over again and if you don't push yourself you almost guaranteed to have limited mobility. Then the psychological State of mind worried about breaking it again

Man that same story about that guy and the broken knee cap mine did the same thing and they told me the same I had a full ride to Nebraska and my senior year I had to quit playing football for good.

I love how KMart says “nah’m sayin’”!? 😂😂

K mart need to be on there everytime, he as real as it gets

I'm a military veteran and I have both my knees totally replaced. I went 11 years of shots in my right knee. I over compensated are tore up my left knee

Damn Miko didn’t bring her twins this episode!?

I tore my acl in august of 2022 had to wait for surgery in late January 2023. Im definitely not the same as I once was and I can still feel it pain somewhat but I’m grateful for being able to walk somewhat normal lol

The mental game is so much tougher than people think, it's about life.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

These stories are why we now have load management

I know Toradol it’s not great for you but damn that shit gets rid of the pain like no other pill

I had knee surgery back in March of 2020 and I’m still not back to 100% 1:44

These boys are great...always loved Kenyon's takes...straight no chaser.

Martin was just in an episode talking about how he played through a broken hand because he didn't want to come out now this 😂

I played all sports baseball outfielder, basketball guard, track 4 different events, football RB… playing football I got the ball up the gut a DT fell on my foot twisted it broke my right tibia and fibula. It went from doc telling me I’d be back in 3 months to I’d never play football again. I was out the entire season but after that I was never the same again. I came back still clocked a 4.4 but I was injury prone after that my left knee started bothering me, ankle on my right leg stayed getting hurt I just gave it all up.

Respect, it seems to me worst emotional and physically for professional athletes after listening to their life experiences. I Tore my Achilles years ago as amateur player capable of dunking, took a lot to learn to walk, learn how to drive a car braking and accelerate with opposite foot because since I was in College and got paid to be there no choice but to go to school on one leg couldn’t just take time off, needed to get paid. The mental battle is challenging it’s not just the physical side. The mental battle beats you down after seeing your calf muscle years later, I’m still low key mad at the lack of strength and shape of my calf muscle!

Yep. Team doctors and trainers are not gonna be on your side. They're gonna be on the side of who cut's their check, which is the franchise. Oh, don't worry! Yo can play in 2 months! Yeah... sure

Hyper extended my knee in the 3rd grade during a freak accident WALKING UP THE STAIRS. Tore my ACL, meniscus, PCL and chipped the knee cap. Took a good amount of time just to be able to bend my knee at 90 degrees. Took to running track later on and was good but not as good as I was before the injury. I was injury prone after that. Grade 1 quad tear in 10th grade, pulled groin 3 times, herniated disks in lumbar, etc.

You still one of the greatest to ever do it bruv.

Did yal here with Gil just admitted to??? He said he would rather have his leg taken off right now that's how much pain he got 😢😢😢 Ya onlyl see millions He just want health😢 His 100 million can't even buy him health he knows the best doctors in the world😢😢😢

Damn this is sad! Something needs to be done about this! Smh

😂😂😂 Gil crazy asf bro

Tore my PLC & ACL was told I wouldn't play again now um nowhere near NBA level but I did play again and came back better than before. Rehab is a state of mind thing. Barring u have the right doctor and take enough time to fully heal and not rush back.

3 Knee surgeries and I’m still hooping. I thank God!

I’m happy Keynan brought this up Carmelo had the same doctor and that guy been hurt most his career why he became a shooter for real

I 1000% respect players who play thru injury but I’m also not going to disrespect the ones who try to be more cautious of their body & what they have to go thru personally

So this tells me that Chicago's team doctor did D-Rose crazy!!

K-Mart right about getting mom😂 22:22

Damn kinda makes me mad hearing how the organizations some don’t really give a fuck just get him back on the court smh

I fought my ass to get to get start JV and same year ,same intensity to be a black belt in tae kwon do. Later that year , torn my rotor cuff while competing . Everything derail for me , and I wanted to end my life , all of this at the age of 15. I was so dedicated and passionate, and it was taken away from me. At the age of 40 , the same shoulder , needs to be replace down the road. I was never a professional athlete but I understand and maybe felt what they go through. I never criticize of rushing them back from it.

They need to do more docs about sport surgery

That MRSA pain is no joke!!! I cried too lol

After a 16 hour shift in the e.r tonight. I gotta say I was not feeling this conversation . 😑 love the pod though under dog whoa whoa !!!

Absolutely wild

When he said my mom I felt that one...🤣🤣🤣

As an athlete is fortunate to never have had injuries ever but knowing this information this is what makes Lebron such a damn anomaly. The way he plays ball and 20 years with no major injuries is insane
