Much as it pains me to give Jackson any props, his sense of Porzingis' susceptibility to injury was not entirely unfounded, though his motivations in terms of a trade, were equal parts good and evil.
In Porzingis’s case, do you know how many players 7-3 or taller have played 1,000 NBA games? Freaking zero of them, that’s how many. Even off-the-charts talents like Yao and Sampson have seen the curtain close early on their careers due to lower extremity injuries. Mark Eaton is the world record holder in this class at 875 games; his longevity trick was to never, ever jump, even while leading the league in blocked shots. – via John Hollinger @ The Athletic
