Players can get injured in summer games where they are playing for free, no matter what.
Anyone else remember when Durant scored 66 points OT whatever at Rucker? That's about a hundred times less safe than a Team USA scrimmage.
I don't know how NBA players step on a court next year if the rim supports and cameramen aren't moved back.
I said it in the game thread, but Anthony Davis literally falls into the cameramen 4-5 times a game and every time i'm holding my breath. I've got a cell phone that can take pictures from the stands. No reason for pro cameramen to be 5 feet from the court.

Real talk. Can't elaborate on it better than that.

Valid points, but it has nothing to do with the overreaction in the original post about players being afraid to play for Team USA in international competition again.

The base of the goal is further back in the NBA than it was here, no need to change it. This was a freak injury and an unfortunate one but the NBA doesn't need to fix their goals. Cameramen being as close as they are is ridiculous though but I doubt they do anything about it.

NBA players step on the court easily as they have since the NBA came into existence.....
Every team plays 82 games a year, the NBA has what 30 teams? So think of the number of games each team plays and I've never seen an injury like this in the NBA in my 30 years. Maybe it has happened and I just don't remember.
So I could understand that mentality if this was a regular occurrence but it really isn't it was an unfortunate event.

nobody give a crap about the basketball world cup. Just put in college kids for that or nba bench warmers and save the stars for the olympics
