And I'm here for it.

I've had both; a consequence of being a game but mediocre baseball and basketball player.
I'm about 70% convinced that the really severe one bothered me longer than a break would've. Took almost a year to get full range of motion back in my ankle; spent a few weeks in a boot.
Ultimately that's why I'm more concerned about the inevitable 'tweaks' than anything. I mean if I rolled over in bed, my foot got hung in the sheet and then twisted 20 degrees off center, I'd wake up in stabbing pain. No matter how careful he is or how well protected he is, there will be at least a half dozen instances of substantially more aggressive torque on that ankle.
I have a big ol' coffee table in my living room; probably weights about 120 lbs. So, y'know,
half of Arden Key. I asked my wife what would happen if I took that table, elevated it, then dropped the ****ing thing on the side of my calf from about waist high.
I mean when you think of it that way and recognize the amount of force that went into that injury...fuuuuuuuuuuck. Sure, he's tough. that's everyone's takeaway here. But he's just a damn alien - how the hell did that leg not detonate? The ability to play through a sprain is impressive but what's truly miraculous was that it was ONLY a sprain.
The guy's just absolutely remarkable.
