Basketball is undoubtedly a professional sport, one that demands a specific set of skills honed through rigorous practice. It’s not an arena where you can simply stroll onto the court and expect to play competently. The consequences of such ill-preparedness can be severe, which is precisely why professional athletes invest years in training before stepping into the actual games.
A recent incident serves as a stark example of what can happen when someone unacquainted with the sport attempts to play at a professional level. This particular individual lacked the necessary skills, unable even to dribble a basketball proficiently. Her unfamiliarity with the game led to dire consequences.

The distressing video online captures the woman participating in a basketball match, but her lack of skill is evident. Rushing onto the court, she struggles to dribble properly, ultimately making her way to the half-court line. Here, her lack of control becomes evident as she loses her balance, resulting in a horrifying leg injury. The video paints a grim picture, clearly depicting the leg twisting in a grotesque direction. These kinds of leg snaps are really painful to endure.

Basketball is known for its quick and agile movements, often leading to what is colloquially known as “ankle breakers.” Instances where players lose control at high speed can turn brutal, as illustrated by this unfortunate incident.
This incident serves as a reminder that basketball, like many professional sports, carries inherent risks. On-court injuries, though regrettable, are an unfortunate part of the game. For instance, Gordon Hayward, during his time with the Boston Celtics, suffered a severe on-court injury.
In a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Hayward went up to secure a rebound in the first quarter. Tragically, his landing took a catastrophic turn, resulting in a snapped leg. The incident left players, including LeBron James, visibly shocked, with some turning away in horror at the sight.
The video of the woman’s leg injury generated a lot of reactions when it spread across social media platforms.

Well duh, when you are fat and have a booty full of silicon but never worked out a day in your life.

This comment is a bit rash with words but it points at lacking the training part before actually playing the game.

While people are mentioning about the injuries. This comment points to the wrong way she was playing the game. One cannot grab the ball multiple times and run and not dribble it consistently.
The way I audibly gasped I didn’t even see it the first time omfg

Apart from opinions and jokes, it is a really serious fall and it is a hope that she turns out to be fine. Any sport must be started with basic training and only then starting it on the field. Not knowing can sometimes lead to dangerous consequences.
