jesus christ I saw the notification and thought he had a season ending injury, almost had a heart attack. Great video tho
marcelo oliveira it's funny how you guys were concerned for Giannis but not Kyrie Irving when Giannis caused his ankle injury that sidelined Kyrie the rest of the playoffs and him needing surgery
@@darnellwilliams8783 who says we weren't?
@@darnellwilliams8783 Giannis is more fun to watch from my casual perspective
@@kylerBD nothing gun about running and funk like Giannis
@@darnellwilliams8783 Both injuries were accidents but giannis looked way worse plus he was in the semis
Yup. As a suns fan. Could not believe Giannis played through this but I’m glad he did and stayed healthy!
thats love bro ❤ routing for you guys out west
class act
He's freaking Giannis
A true suns fan would have wished he tore every ligament!
That's a true sign of sportsmanship.. When you want to beat your opponent fairly and without having any bad or malicious intent towards them
I was so sure Giannis was done when I saw that. Dude is literally built different
He’s a literal super freak. That’s the only way to describe it.
Are you sure? AD has been on 10 different kinds of injury this season alone, and can still play in the playoffs, AD is literally build different.
@@mattandreyvillela3402 bruh moment
Yes, I was absolutely shocked. I thought for sure he tore his meniscus and possibly other ligaments. Literally the worst looking injury I've ever seen, where a player miraculously didn't miss any games.
@@mattandreyvillela3402 well you’re not wrong 🤣
As a Bucks fan hearing the fact that he could have easily had a season ending injury is terrifying to think about, I don’t want to go back to the early 2010, and it also made me so thankful nothing worse happened. Also whenever I see a photo or video of Giannis’s injury, it makes me feel sick.
I'm a suns fan but it looked very painful
One thing I’ve noticed that I love about our man Brian is the way he talks about injuries or issues he brings up is always from a really genuine place wanting to help others. He never comes into anything trying to get one over on someone make a buck or exploit anything. Each video just seems like him sharing his knowledge with his ever growing BrianBros family. I think a lot more people on social media can learn from that. Just do your job don’t always try to one up someone or act like some big star. Be authentic be real be a good person and the rest will fall into place :)
Yep he just do him, he was the first sports medicine Dr. I came across explaining sports injuries and the only sports injury pg I watch.
He's the only one that I watch
Facts. Thats why a lot of people tune in in this channel. Its not for clout but really to impart awareness
Idk how a sports medicine commentator can exploit people but Brian makes a lot of money from his profession anyway.
@@Salsajaman by exploiting I mean making fun of them just saying oh haha x dude got hurt what a loser. A lotta channels do that. I’m not just talking parody and weirdo people purportedly legit creators take a tragedy and exploit it for views the don’t teach a thing they just use it for clickbait. Doc Brian just comes on gives us a very easy to understand lesson on whatever injury and that’s it. No milking it no nonsense just to the point high class content. So many people they turn a simple story into this big ordeal make it some big production try to make themselves look smart. It’s like one persons tragedy is a others glory. Our guy just teaches us a bunch and that’s it. To the point and honest. Dudes a stud flat out
Giannis is really BLESSED by GOD
Blessed by Zeus and idk Gaia or some shit
God doesn't watch sports.
@@hahawow1804 he's a good person and a hardworker, better than most of people.
The fact he went out and played with this shows how incredible he is
Almost super human
He probably would have been out for a month plus if it wasn’t the finals. Damn Giannis is truly a freak in the best way.
When this happened, I was scared for him. Baffled by his recovery and how each person reacts differently to injuries.
Giannis is a fighter.. He played through the pain even though it was severe.. He really was blessed that his injury wasn't any worse
As a suns fan, I tip my hat to Giannis and how he came back from this and put his team on his back and dropped 50s and 40s throughout the finals. Give this man his flowers!! Would love to see the suns get another crack at him!! ☀️☀️
He dropped 50 because Ayton didn't play defense. He will need to step up this year in the playoffs if the Suns are going to win the Finals. Ayton was the weak link in the Finals.
@@DIVISIONINCISION I mean y'all asking a 22 year old to guard the most dominant player in the nba alone
@@hueyfreeman1178 I mean he did try lol. Just obviously couldn't keep up.
@@DIVISIONINCISION Ayton underperformed, but that's not why the suns lost. They lost because they didn't trust their system when they were faced with pressure. They stopped moving the ball around and looking for the best looks and started playing ISO offense with Booker and CP3. Honestly its not their fault, it takes more than a season build reliable chemistry and for everyone to buy into a system fully, they'll probably be better this year
respect. Some fans aside, thought last year's finals had great sportsmanship all around. Looking forward to a rematch!
I just saw the tweet about it from The Athletic and immediately searched for your youtube. True enough, this vid is already here. Thank you for always providing us with the latest info!
Still amazes me that he wasn't seriously hurt that day
Whew!! I thought this happened in today’s game just seeing the thumbnail.
He scared me bad 😂😂
Phillip what happened to Ginnais was karma for when he stepped on Kyrie Irving ankle fans forget that
@@darnellwilliams8783 L
Yeah I clicked fast as crap cuz it scared me I was like omg 😱 no but it’s cool glad it’s a false alarm
@@darnellwilliams8783 championship karma most folks will take that any day
That really is incredible. I’m one of those people who can naturally hyperextend some of their joints, including my knee, but the extend to which his leg bent backwards looks like it would be devastating even to me. But hey, NBA players aren’t like you and I
I'm sorry but if any other NBA player suffered this injury, including Giannis again, they'd be done for the season.
This is very interesting to learn more about, thanks doc
Wow what a great video, loved it!
Doc I've been wondering the SAME thing. I've been fixated on that particular video; I landed hard on an extended leg and had an isolated posterolateral corner reconstruction. One of my symptoms before surgery was that I had several more degrees of hyperextension in my injured leg and it felt like I could stretch forever if I tried. Even now I have maybe 1 or 2 extra degrees in my surgery leg but I'm only 3 months post I'm hoping quad strengthening will help that.
It's crazy not only how so many different structures can get wrecked in the knee, but how some people can cope with the damage they have.
Tibialis anterior too
I just realized that I hyperextended my knee during my senior year of football. Some dude fell on my lower leg and i collapsed. I couldn’t get up for a minute because the hamstring had tensed up to save my ligaments.
this happened to me my sophomore year in football, 2 years later and it’s still in pain and giving me issues
Check out knees over toes guy and the ATG group
@@tshimologokgosi7340 fr these workouts helped my knees so much. fucked my meniscus up in highschool and it for years but lately never felt better/stronger
@@land930 it’s almost unbelievable how effective the workouts are
@@tshimologokgosi7340 through experience, I really can't believe how much pain there can be from a simple muscle imbalance. I've had moments where I had sharp back pain daily for months, and I finally decided maybe there is a muscle imbalance. I did a glute/ hamstring focused workout and haven't had back pain in months and the fix was instant. Same with my chest. I use to get bad pain in my armpit thinking I was going to tear my pec... I strengthened my traps and upper back, and it was fine instantly and has been gone since. Another common example people have is shin splints and doing that exercise where u raise your toe so like the opposite of calf raises. Knee pain is another super common one. When your quads are stronger than. your glutes and hamstrings, the knee joint gets pulled to the front of the socket, causing that pain when u bend or squat. So basically, your muscles (when relaxing) are always pulling and holding your joints and bones into place, so if there is a muscle that is too strong in comparison to another, even when it is relaxed it will be pulling harder and moving the joints / bones to a position where they are not comfortbaly sitting. They could be rubbing up against something and caused inflamation or maybe pinching a nerve idk. Im no anatomy genius, but I've had my fair share of imbalances and learned through them. When u have pain in one area for a long time, it's not that it won't heal... its because the injured area is in a compromised position. Without any knowledge of how your body works, the best thing to do is just exercviuseas and isolate every muscle around the injured area
Guess you're not made of greek flex tape
Amazing content doc ☝️👏👏👏..Fan from Dutch
i just rewatched the original last night.. weird how life works. hope ur doing good my guy all love!
Oh gosh. I saw the title and was afraid he hurt himself tonight and I missed it cause you’re so quick. I’ll look forward to watching this and getting your hindsight perspective.
He doesn’t play til tuesday
To add to this…
He’s commenting on how Giannis didn’t suffer a season ending injury in the ECF.
Love these videos
He’s not called the Greek Freek for nothing! 😁 Giannis is a different kind of beast and I’ve wondered if his insane workouts had anything to do with him not getting severely injured on that play. Milwaukee is blessed to have him and we’re all blessed his knee wasn’t completely messed up. GoOoOoOo Bucks!!!
Leg injuries always freak me out. Even more so since breaking the same ankle twice in 3 years
Non-contact leg injuries in football I just don’t even look anymore. I just hope for the best and say see you next year. Then the concussion ones where the bodies lock up. Ugh
@@liferealgood I feel the the same way which makes it funny that we always come back to these videos.
Holy shit Doctor you straight up made me think he hurt his knee again.
OMG. That could of been way worse! And he only missed 2 games...wow.
marksuave25 man really dont care for Giannis or his fanboys especially I'm glad giannis was ok but I know Kyrie Irving wasn't after Giannis fell on his ankle by not giving him any landing space it was done on purpose Kyrie had surgery but yall laughed
He’s a superhuman I swear to god his body just won’t let him get hurt 😭
@@darnellwilliams8783 Nah that didn’t happen
Didnt he missed 6
@@mjf5928 he only missed 5 and 6 of the ECF
The support that he was using helped him a lot
I remember watching that live and thinking he was out for a very long time. Thought for sure he tore something serious. It's good to see it wasn't as serious as it could've been. But hopefully there won't be any lasting effects of this injury in his future and doesn't make him more injury prone.
I'm hoping so too he's been sitting some games here and there because of that same knee.. he already said that knee still hurts at times plus that hyperextension destroyed his protection against a ligament injury one more injury on that knee wont be pretty
@@milwaukeesav6699 completely agreed. I really think that's gonna be an injury he feels for the rest of his life. How much is will impact his game, we will see. But you are right, another injury to the same knee won't be good at all. May even cut his career short
If you watch the play with Crowder, there was a ton of kick out. Knowing Crowder’s history, there was full intent to injure
Hey Brian, what's your thoughts on the knees over toes guy? Thanks for your always great content
Whats that?
A nickname fitting for the insane recovery. Giannis is undoubtedly a freak of nature, dude is a beast.
The dude is indestructible, there is a reason he's the best player on the nba right now.
Much love 💘
The man is a legend
Can you do a video on Chucky Hepburn's (PG for Wisconsin) injury in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday?
Giannis is a real freak in a good way. He may be the only player more stronger and more athletic than LeBron
genetically blessed or just built different. crazy that he only missed 2 games!
Giannis. What a legend
Bucks fan , this giving me ptsd
A freak of nature, that is Giannis. Back to back!! Go Bucks!!
Oh lord that hurts looking at it.
they don’t call him the greek freak for nothing!!!
Thats why he is the Greek Freak🔥🔥🔥💜💛
It's a blessing that injury didn't turn out bad 🙏🏽
He didn't just play on it ... He played his best game ever .. crazy
Dr. Brian how does an injury like that heal?
Dude OMG I thought something happened to Giannis! I saw the screenshot and the fact it only came out 5hrs ago made my balls sink. Whew! Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan! You a slick one 😆
YOU SCARED ME, DOC!! I thought something new happened to Giannis.
Giannis built different, descendent of the Greek God's.
One of the most improbable comebacks in sports history
Just a week after what was initially considered to be a career altering injury, Giannis surprisingly returned to put on one of the greatest Finals performances in NBA history!
the music in the back of the intro is fire tbh
Noti gang
God damn thought this was recent.
not only did he play in pain in the finals giannis was seen several times in greece 2-3 months after the finals limping in pain while walking. how the hell did he have a historic finals with pretty much one leg is beyond legendery
I was wondering if you'd ever revisit this because I think we all thought it was/(should've) been worse than it ended up being... I'm still shocked especially after rewatching how extended his knee was
Mannn you had me thinking that this just happened today🤦🏾♂️
I knew Giannis was from another planet……
Love the Jersey 😍
That’s crazy it would’ve been so much worse with one step
When I saw that hyper-extension live, I was sure he completely dislocated it. That screams dislocation with the levels of torsion on it. WILD to find it was just a hyper-extension.
Oh wow so it looks like I might have been right with what I replied to you with on Twitter, super scary what easily could've happened
I mean....they call him the Greek freak for a reason 😂
I think he probably had multiple small tares. That man is stuff as nails, I re watched the series a month or so after the finals. The amount of times he went to grab his knee after a strong drive or going up for a rebound speaks for itself. To go out and do what he did was incredible, makes you think what these guys are getting shot up with when you hear stories about NFL players playing through injury's.
I said if Giannis comes back it’s because of his youth
If that was AD, my lord his career is done. Giannis is truly built different, African power to him!!!
AD would be paralyzed and in a wheelchair for life if that were him.
It's probably due to all the Greek super foods he had as a kid plus his family's athletic genes
@@EvangelosLolos it was definitely the Greek yogurt
@@joshtheflatearthjedi222 it sure helped, plenty of calcium to build strong bones and ligaments. Maybe he put some olive oil in those joints too!
And he played through all that without a knee brace. Fucking insane.
Can you make a video on Chucky Hepburns Injury?
🙏🏼🙏🏼
could you talk about the herniated disk that was revealed that ben simmons was dealing with? Recovery time? and what it could mean for the nets season/post season?
They don't call him the Greek Freak for nothing
AD would STILL be on the floor in Atlanta if he'd suffered that hyperextension.
AD would've called in quits and retire if this happens to him. Giannis really built like a Greek God
They'd still be waiting for him to get up off the floor in Atlanta.
hes different like that
The “Greek Freak” is a very fitting nickname.
Are either of these possibilities needing to be surgical repaired or more of a time and rest type of thing? I didn't hear any type of off-season surgery
my knees can naturally hyperextend and i always feel very endangered to this kind of injury. because should i land with my knee hyperextended, it would 100% snap backwards due to the lever effect of the entire leg. But leg strengthening has really improved this paranoia and danger.
It's a miracle he didn't tear anything, wow. Hard to watch his leg hyperextend like that.
He didn't tear anything critical you mean. He definitely wasn't 100% and could have had partial tears of several structures.
@@hahawow1804 Yeah true. He did say a piece that protects from an ACL and MCL was torn.
do those protective ligaments ever heal on their own or do they remain ruptured until he gets surgery?
Idea for next video:
What Anthony Davis Can Learn from Giannis About Handling Injuries
Does this type of injury heal fully doctor?
Just as a precaution rest him until the playoffs
I have a doubt your working as doctor or not
Becoz ur updated and uploading the video immediately after injury😳
Giannis is superhuman
Uh, mah hart!!! I thought he’d hyperextended it AGAIN!! I want him to get the MVP!! And then, the title!!
Just a reality of how physical basketball is. Not that it is bad but players are or must be aware how easy careers change with one injury alone.
Giannis is a greek freak of nature
so is he at greater risk now to hyperextension, should he have surgery ?
And yet people still bring up other teams' injuries but pretend this never happened.
Injuries are sadly part of the game but being able to come back so soon and stay healthy after plays like Crowder's should be acknowledged as truly extraordinary.
😱😱
Wow
Perhaps change end of title to Giannis’ 2021 injury so people don’t get heart attacks lol
Doc been trying to give folks papa till all season 😂 this like the 3 person he’s mentioned papa till about lol 😂. By the way how does one spell it I know I’m tearing it up 😂
sheesh, that's a HUGE risk for him to take, glad it all worked out. He played excellent on that injury as well, truly a GREEK FREAK.
If he'd had got knocked out by Crowder defending that shot, Crowder would have seen massive backlash from everyone. I mean look at him kick his leg out, there's a reason that awkward motion is now against the rules and you can no longer kick your legs out to draw contact. That would have not been good for Jae had something serious happened to Giannis's knee
This kick out has always been against the rules. Refs need to call it more often.
nice
Saw Giannis injury my heart sank... phew
I wonder what ramifications this injury will lead to as he ages. I imagine “knee soreness” will become a common issue as he ages.
it'll be well worth it for the 5-6 rings he will be wearing as he enters the Hof podium
Has is OPL healed since then?
They call him freak for a reason
