Damn. That's nearly as bad as Nap McCallum's knee/leg disaster.

edit: although at least with McCallum's injury he was wearing football pants as opposed to basketball shorts so you couldn't really see the flesh and bone reality of the injury... the photo in the second link is brutal.

Here's the McCallum injury (he nearly had to have his leg amputated and certainly never got anywhere near the football field again)

warning this isn't pretty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVchNFaUiVc)

While we're posting random injuries, here's Thiesmann's career ender it looks like a normal tackle at first, but about half way through they show the reverse angle :shocked:

not for the easily nausiated (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clM8mPPDx9E&NR)

yeah, that's one of the interesting things about that video, just shows no matter how rough a player may seem, they don't really want to hurt anyone on the field (generally speaking)

That's a terrible injury for Livingston. He has so much potential to be one of the greatest point guards of all time. Now one can only hope he can even come back from something like that.

I heard on the news today that Livingstone suffered no arterial or nerve damage (although he did sever three ligaments). I know with McCallum's injury one of the problems they had was restoring proper blood flow to the lower leg due to massive arterial damage. He still has a long rehab, but it sounds like Livingstone should eventually be back on the court.

that's such a freak accident, you'd hate to see the guy's career end on that

that was the costliet Flea Flicker ever in Theismann's case..

poor Livingstone hope surgery and rehab go well for the guy.. always tough to recover from something like that

yeah, LT has said he hasnt seen the video and he never will. he was doing an interview for 20/20 and they wanted to show it to him. he threatened to leave if they tried to show him.

I read an interesting article the other day about Livingston, using his situation as an argument for players to come out of college early (like Livingston did)

What do you guys think?

Yeah I read the same thing. It's all about money these days, I would rather go to college though. It's a fun experience.
