The "Normal MRI" Myth - Doctor Reacts to LeBron James Knee Updates
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.พ. 2022
- At LeBron James's age and history in the NBA, it's almost a certainty there are abnormal changes in his knee even though they might not amount to enough severity to describe them in a press release. LeBron made some new comments about his knee health today and we'll review what it all means in this video!

Basketball is a brutal sport on the knees. 1600 games played (regular season + playoffs). Will be the only player with 40K pts 10K reb 10K asst in a career.
I appreciate you breaking down the whole “no structural damage” mri for everyone who might not understand. I played ultimate frisbee at one of the highest level of the sport for a while. For the past 2 years I’ve dealt with patellar tendinopathy. The two mris I’ve had have come back “no structural damage” but that doesn’t mean I’m fine. I haven’t been able to run consistently for these past 2 years and it’s so frustrating to know I have wear in my knee that can’t be fixed with surgery. Most likely the cartilage is worn and I have to accept I will never be the same. I’m only 23 but I expect to need a knee replacement at some point in my life. To go from being a great athlete to struggling to walk a mile without severe knee pain and inflammation is tough, more mentally than physically
I know how it feels. Just looking for a good doctor. Knees get messed up and there's no way to replace cartilage?
I know how it feels also but in other important part of the body . Once the knee ,hip , and back go out it’s something we have to deal with for the rest of are life. I’m also the same age and the mental part is definitely true. This shit either makes you or break you!!
Don't give up man, I'm in a similar situation. I'm almost 27. I've had patellar tendinopathy since i was 16. And let me tell you I WISH that was the only issue I had lol. I'm not losing hope and I believe in our bodies ability to heal with patience and the right progressions. Currently facing a huge setback, but I keep believing. Goal is to dunk by the age of 30 with no pain!
“At the highest level of the sport” lmao
So that means you and Todd Gurley have something in common. I believe he had similar issues. It sucks. Wish you well in life.
His knee is probably an issue from the previous ankle injury where he most likely favored it thus straining his knee and causing him an issue
Who went to his page thinking he had a AD video up already.
I really enjoy these videos and love how you are able to simplify the information
Been watching since you had like 17 k subs love your channel Doc !!
Seeing as lebron has played his highest minutes a game as a laker and I’m pretty sure he’s still on pace for most games in a season as a laker it makes sense. Hopefully he’s better soon
Well, give him an off season where he will be monitored heavily. This means you won't have him when the season starts.
What are you talking about? He’s played his lowest minutes a game with the lakers as well as only 50 games a year average with them. Where did you find these stats
@@PrestonsDen can you not read? “Highest minutes a game as a laker” as in this season Is the highest minutes per game he’s played in a laker uniform. Is it really that hard to understand?
@@icey2203 guess I was tripping I see what you’re saying now my bad
lakers wasting his late prime… smh
Mr Brain,you do a good job explaining data about the knees. I 👀 your last 🎥 on odell and you do a very good profession.✌
Waiting for the ad video rn lol
Hey Brian,
How do you display film footage as you speak? I'm assuming you play the video as your record teh video then in post do picture-inpicture and overlay that audio with the original audio?!
It's a nice technique that I would love to learn!
cartilage is like a bearing or rubber silent block - it wears over time with big loads applied
Can you teach us how to get over patellar tendonapathy
Cartilagehealing is best done with activity, it is said, as this stimulate and circulate the fluid in the knee and seemingly so happens to better than no movement at all, so could it be cartilagedamage, that he suffers from?
In this regard, does collagen peptides type 2 with vit C help such recovery?
We are many suffering from this, so any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I like how he says he doesn’t have the luxury of rest as if I’m supposed to feel bad for him.
He’s a millionaire just dribbling a ball , the middle class people be like “first time”
@@fenixkillzem1181 really kiddo? These athletes spent time to improve their body and game.
@@BRON_234 lol yeah kiddo you obviously you not middle class privileged at it’s finest thank you proved my point
Is there a link to that 2008 study that I can find?
Great insight as always, thank you for enlightening us!
Answer: Wear and tear over 17 years.
The health professional are not allowed to use wear and tear as it can harm their patients 🤣 weird right? What else do you call it? Getting old? 😂😂
I keep seeing/ hearing how lebron plays through some crazy injuries. I think when he retires he’ll feel the effects of giving his all to the game
Remember the 2017 or 2018 finals where after the Cavs lost, he admitted to playing the last few games with a broken hand?
@@PatNeedhamUSA yeeah totally forgot about that..The funniest part about that is that it’s brushed off as an excuse that makes him look soft.
@@yeahaight1163 that injury may have been real but it gets thought of that way because lebron is a career pretend victim who tends to exaggerate and lie about everything.
@@Gl-my8fw only that he doesnt. This whole narrative is made up by randoms who have no inside info and just want to hate, writing everything off as "lies and excuses" lmao.. if the athlete and team says theyre injured, but some internet randoms say "nah uh i dont believe it", its pretty clear who's side is more credible.
Absolutely for sure and even then whew Lord
I remember you pointing out that little fluid sac he had in the back of his knee. Lakers keep playing like trash, they may just shut him down for the season.
Did y'all notice that he changed his knee pad to Black after Doc did that video? 😭😂
@@iamdeandrefrench right I seen it he might wear that black sleeve pad untill the rest of the season
Can you do a video on Marcus smart?
So I’m 44 and I’m guessing that my knees wouldn’t have normal mri scans either .
Hey Brian did you finish school and do all the testing necessary to begin practicing medicine? can’t wait for the day you get on a sports team’s medical team!
I mean he has MD in his channel name 😐
Or did you mean board certification?
Man all those miles are catching up with him. They are gonna have to start cutting his minutes but they rely on him too much as a team
It is called arthritis and old age, old knees. His miles on his knees have to be off the chart. Lebron is a big stong man at his height and his weight, knees take a pounding. Great timing, I had my right knee shot up today. At 55yo, with M.S. ok its old age, but I was a Collegiate baseball player and later mile, 5k, 10k runner so these knees have miles, not like Lebron a world class athlete, but I feel for him.
So not exercising that much is the key to good knee health?
You assume it is age. It could be something else. He is lebron. He isnt Dwayne Wade or you
LeBron invincible don’t say things like that 😭
@@jaganjoseph386 I have bad knees, bad back, I still exercise. Walk everyday.
@@majormarketing6552 37yo, 6'8" 250-280lbs pounding on those knees. Something has to give. Father time is Undefeated.
Keep up the good work, Brian.
You should do injuries for UFC
Do ad recent ankle
This is fascinating. Normality is a malleable, flexible term.
Once the knees start going it's time to retire. It's a tribute to Lebron it took almost 20 years before his body started breaking down after 35 great genetics with playoffs he played an extra 3-4 seasons.
Its hard seeing him retiring coz he's still playing at such a high level. Most all time greats retired at this age coz they aint good anymore or they're not the same... But LeBron's production was so high gj its hard to say "its time to retire".
All he needs is someone who will step up for the team so he's not requored to drop 40 just to have a chance.
I think Lebron will do 22 seasons and retire at 40. He definitely at least wants to see Bronny get into the League and pass Kareem in Points
Could you make a video regarding Zach Lavine’s knee ?
Only 3 players in the NBA are playing higher minutes per game than LeBron this season. It's borderline miraculous that he hasn't suffered a more serious injury yet.
sounds like my wrist carpal tunnel...just fucked.
Can we lessen the negative effects of collagen overtime by taken collagen peptides? or is there no real way to overcome these negative effects ?
Hi doc. Would you be willing to address the mental health issue regarding ben simmons? Like defining what mental health is and your take on Ben Simmons situation please?
The same thing goes for players like Paul George and Kawhi Leonard too. Kevin Durant too. Kyrie Irving too. They’ve all had issues in their playing past with their knees.
This man is in year 19 tho which makes it different from the rest
Maybe he needs to visit his Miami doctors so they can give him HGH
The fact that this comment was difficult to find.
And that I thought of the same thing as I scrolled to your comment. 😆
He wont ever retire before he passes Kareem tho. He’s too close to give up now.
True
@SplayMnBoss Not for regular season all time points. That’s the big one.
@SplayMnBoss That one included playoffs as well
@SplayMnBoss he’s still a long ways away he’s 3rd all time
@SplayMnBoss That was not regular season most points. He is still 3rd all time.
#FLBJ
😂 welcome to old age😂
Next is the back
And the shoulders 😂🤣😂
News flash doc when you’re over 30 swelling in the knees just come out of nowhere 😬
news flash not everyone has Lebron's genetics
*19th season
yet, the goat is averaging 29 PPG and still breaking scoring streak records!!
It is A.D. he will be out until the Playoffs, if the Lakers make it to the playoffs, if they do, he will come back, have a monster game and then fall on the floor with another injury. Lakers need to wrap him in bubble wrap.
Would a 'normal mri' be a pristine knee?
It's not like the Lakers are gonna go far in the playoffs anyway.
Yes they will because lebron is going to have to carry the lakers on his back like he did in Cleveland in 2018
LeBron look off the roid cycle
👀👀👀👀
this season is over they r done wow this team
This guy is really good at explaining things.
Anyone who has played sports at the minimum of a highschool varsity level and even more so with college sports experience is aware; Not only are there very few people that are great athletes but there are far fewer humans that are great athletes who actually have a body that can even take the beating to get to a pro level. What is harder for me to understand than the athletic ability, is the durability your body has to have to survive say, a 15 year career as a defensive end, linebacker, safety or running back in the NFL; let alone a 20+ year NBA career. These humans are truly outliers even beyond just athletic ability.
Its called peds mate. Dont be so naive that pro athletes do not take peds. If you know you know.
@@PhiyackYuh If you think it is more to do with PEDs than genetics, you are the one who is naive.
@@HArryvajonas its called load management. Since when did lebron play all 82 games compared to the old school ballers with less technology and advancement in sports medicine? As if he played every single game in his 18th season.
Only a fool would believe James doesn’t have issues with that knee we as a public don’t get reports on. We see no structural damage and dumb fans assume they are doctors too. Did you see how fans trashed Kawhi because he went to the SB with PG? It’s because he hasn’t played this season so they assume he isn’t working diligently in rehab to heal up. It’s crazy to me.
Why this man's not on espn yet, I'll never understand
He's eating without the slave masters
@@SANTANA1deep he's leaving millions and millions on the table tho.
9th
Dr. GOAT
1:46 LeBron is playing his 19th season. Not 17th.
Please do the recent Marcus Smart ankle sprain
The Goaatt Dr🐐
Least he was honest about it
4th
He is done
It’s sad to see LeGoat no longer be indestructible anymore. Never take the greats for granted, here today old tomorrow 👑
Yall took Kobe for granted and never gave him his flowers
Lebron will never be legitimately remembered as the goat especially since he is a huge p.o.s.
@@CaliJatt0809 facts. Now they killed him, and everybody acts like they cared. He was truly more than just a hooper. Our athlete philosopher of our time. Our Bruce Lee.
@@CaliJatt0809 I’m guilty of that. Top 5
@@SANTANA1deep Jim Brown would disagree
Brady was superhuman and played until 44 without any knee or other major problems, I’ve always assumed that LeBron could do the same. Any reason why this couldn’t be the case?
Brady never had to jump or run full court full speed multiple times a game over an 82 game season plus all Lebron’s deep post season runs. And honestly brady maybe didn’t get hit as much as lebron has, seeing the way lebron plays compared to TB12
How much dunking, jumping, and running back and forth was Brady doing on court?
@@carsongraef8716 he was throwing a football four hundred yards a game at fast speed. A normal humans shoulder and back wear out. Brady is pretty much superhuman.
@@godsofthesingularity8308 but the amount times he have to throw the ball in a season compare to all the running and dunking in an NBA season though? Can you really compare 2 different sports? Ever since the damn bubble the rest time is weird for the teams that went deep in the playoffs.
@@Chavanun555 im forty. if I get a twinkie out of my fridge too fast I pull a muscle. Brady is a freak.
Lakers not making the playoffs anyway.Lebron will get all the rest he needs this year😂
They keep going down in Western conference.
They thought that last year too 😪
LeDiva
He's opting out...
if AD & WB stopped playing like ass lebron wouldn't have to play so much mins
AD is like he’s in leBrons body or something 🤣 as a 28 year old
Overused knee
Second
Ever since doc pointed out the swelling behind the knee (the game bron was wearing white knee pad) you can see the fluid sac, after that game he no longer wears a white leg sleeve to hid it now he wears a black one I do think this is going to be bad 😭😭
LeBron should retire once his contract is up look at Dirk he can’t really play with his kids
As someone who used to be athletic and then had one knee injury being robbed of that athleticism, i agree that nobody defeats Father Time.
1st
first
0th
Next year will most likely be his last all the minutes he’s played throughout his career is definitely starting to take a toll on him
Doubt it, he made it clear he wants to play in the court with his son
he will just heal in the offseason and just play the same level next season,
@@raymondqiu8202 it's not that easy
@Raymond Qiu he's starting to get injured easily now
@@raymondqiu8202 "healed" as in take flights to get stem cell injections. 😩
He’s getting olllddd man
He’s been old
yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Third
second
he's saying he was third; that means he saw someone else got second
Excuses.
It's called a built in excuse he did the same thing last year
It's called an injury for an athlete in year 19, facts trump your LeBron hating pitiful little self
Its amazing how you didn't even listen to the video...smh.
Clearly you saw a fluid sac in the back of his knee, which clearly means that something *is* wrong. Brian explained to you that something is definitely wrong and the conclusion you still come to is, "Oh he's making an excuse..." smh...
Did you not watch the video??
@@oblivionpro69 a bakers cyst isn't an injury...
All he has to do if commited is lose 25 or 30lbs. I know he's not out of shape but that less paylod would make difference..in all aspects.
Maybe when he said it wouldn’t get better until the off-season he was hinting at needing surgery. A small surgery could be needed or maybe just rest. I’m not sure but it’s definitely an interesting topic about the goat! 🐐
I believe he should get surgery in the off season like next year and get some rest
BURSITIS
I'm sure the Lakers will be fine if he took a few weeks off. In fact, they will probably do better. This man just making excuses. Remember when he came out in a post-game interview with a wrist brace on? This man just makes excuses when they lose. Just admit it-this Lakers squad just sucks.
I don't know if you played sports before but not ONE ATHLETE in any sport EVER fakes a injury. And you being up the wrist brace yet he had a mri done it shows a fractured wrist. Your points are childish
@@thejaylenfoster606 and yet, he played without it during the game like there wasn't a thing wrong with it... 🤔
The hate is strong with this one
He is still averaging 29 pts 7 asts and 8 rbs or so. Which is ridiculous
Which tells you if they was winning the knee is a non issue
@@TheDreadedRaider quite possibly
Lebron is laying the excuses now cause he knows what they have ahead of them
Stop it dawg
@@dantewilliams7458 well he isnt a top player anymore and is a pathetic person.
@@Gl-my8fw geez
@@Gl-my8fw cry
@@Gl-my8fw touch some grass bruh
Don't believe everything Lebron James says... :)
Lebron is a diva
This isn't just an issue for the season this is an issue for the rest of his career. His knee has flopped and it can't get up
He can't retire soon enough
LeBron James should retire.
I refuse to read "Sports Medicine Fellow" in its formal, academic way. Informal is funnier and satisfying. 🤗
Just another chap who likes sports medicine haha
@@BrianSuttererMD ...and is great at explaining the injuries clearly and concisely. When using the medical language, you first define the terms then use them. Not everyone works in the medical field and knows/uses medical terminology. Also, as soon as an injury occurs in any sport, you post your explanation of the injury within a few minutes.
Your YT channel is the best of it's kind and I recommend it on my my fave NBA team's fan/group pages across many social media platforms--mostly FB.
I truly appreciate your passion in sports medicine and sharing it along with your knowledge with us.
Father time is undefeated, it catches up to us all eventually. It's time for AD to step up and take the wheel
AD isn't built like that
Nah Lebron will be the first to beat Father Time. He will get bionic limbs and rejuvenate his youth, trust.
Take what wheel? He can't stay healthy either.
💛💜🙏🏾
Your so smart 😘
We need a psychology M.D, to evaluate LeBron’s mind because he’s a master bs artist that likes to control the Narrative
Well said
He’s VERY GOOD AT IT. I’ve been saying that for years, the hand thing in the 2018 finals is an example
Turn to Jesus people he died for your sins, Repent of what the New Testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel obey the teachings of Jesus documented in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved, be baptized by faith in Jesus you can live life with him as your example. If you need prayer i'll pray for you. If you want to keep contact with a brother in Christ i’ll keep contact with you. The love of God is beyond our understanding. God bless.
the steroids are coming back to bite him.
LeBron probably has no cartilage left in his knees.
Having no cartilage in the knees is not a joke. I have it in both knees.
Come on back 2 cleveland let these young boys carry you next season
LeBron should just retire once the season is over, injuries are starting to take a serious toll on him
Nah I don't think he should retire all he needs to do is just rest his knee and his body when the offseason is over
*The crypto market has been favourable in the past weeks, I keep missing out on this opportunity, I'm most certainly very impatient how can I ever make a profit in the crypto market.*
My crypto mentor Mr Salvador McConnell , you may have come across him on a few interviews I invested $3000 last two weeks and it profited me $11,410 a higher success.
@Stephanie please 🙏 tell me how i can contact Mr Salvador I've lost alot of money trying to trade on my own😭
Thank you for this. I just looked him up on google and impressed with the information I came across.i Will definitely reach out to him. Thanks again 😊😊
Lakers fans is it too early to start a rebuild?
Father time is catching up to Lebron.
Trade AD to OKC.
Goodluck trading Westbrook this summer.
