    What exactly are you saying? I can guess, but it would be easier if you just say it.

    Are you saying "Injuries happen to everyone"? - If so, then what's the problem since it happens to EVERYONE, and Lonzo is no negative outlier?

    Or are you saying that Lonzo is injury prone and will spend his career on the disabled list? - If so, you are making a huge assumption like the people that once thought Steph Curry was doomed to a career of insignificance because he had recurring ankle injuries in his early seasons.

    Either way, you are way off base to think that proper training has no positive impact on susceptibility to injury. It's the reason that Kobe stayed on the court so much throughout his career when he was naturally built very much like Lonzo when he first entered the league.

    What does that answer even mean? "im saying he'll get injured cause it happens not cause he's injury prone" You say he is not injury prone but then you call for a bet like you are convinced he is injury prone. I don't want to make fun of your response, but you are making it difficult not to.

    Do you think I'm an idiot? The only player I would ever bet to play all 82 games is Wilt Chamberlain, and he is not playing next year.

    But since you are convinced Lonzo is going to be injured again next year let's make it simple. I will bet whatever you want within reason that Lonzo plays more games than he did last year. He plays more and I win. He plays the same number or less and I lose. Seems like a fair wager don't you think?

    So, you now believe that Lonzo will play 69 games next year. Great. I guess he is not so injury prone after all. I'll be happy with 69 games from him.

    What happens if he plays in game 69 but doesn't finish the game due to injury and misses the rest of the year? Does that game he got hurt count, being that he didn't finish....
