Prepare yourself for some hilarious, original "Germans" jokes.

What does that mean. I don't watch basketball.

It means a lawsuit. The argument will be if that base was in the proper position George wouldn't have broken his leg.

Unless my vision plays tricks on me, the miami heat goal is closer than normal...

No it doesnt, unless they cleatrly violated rules about the distance of the goal in an exhibition game...which i doubt

The base didn't cause his injury

I only watched it once because frick that, but his foot was on the base before it snapped.

It doesn't mean anything other than this being a freak accident. I imagine if you look hard enough you can find an instance where someone got injured on the base of the basket in an NBA game and they wouldn't have on the FIBA court.

The base is why his leg is broken. It was the 1st thing his foot touched.
Not saying that anything should change now, because this was just an uncommon freak injury. But the base was definitely in the way.

Yep, having the base further back would have helped. It reminds me of the gruesome Patrick Edwards injury where the cart was too close to the field. I'm not sure where liability falls though.

After watching the video again, the base is exactly why he broke his leg

It was pretty much an unfortunate freak accident. The base (and cheerleaders and cameramen) are all as close or closer on some college floors.

An all star had a gruesome leg break from landing on it last night.
