competitive basketball for years that was frequently quite physical, and no player anywhere near TJ's size ever knocked me off my feet. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure I've ever been knocked off my feet when not jumping. Yet college and NBA players somehow seem to wind up on the floor from off-ball bumps about 20 times per game.
That was a flop, folks, just like so many others. It's an epidemic, and is a much bigger concern than TJ's bony forearm. I'm now a creaky, middle-aged man, and I could still take any breezy shot TJ's talented-but-skinny carcass could dish out without advertising to the world what a floppy wimp I was.
That announcer was being ridiculous.
