broke a guy's nose today

[MikeWaters]

I tried to drive it through the lane on a break, between two defenders, they went for the strip the ball was out under the basket, I was trying to get it, my left elbow goes out as I try to get the ball back to a teammate, and then "crunch". I felt bad, because the guy just came back from 5 months of shoulder rehab, then I broke his nose.

I said I was sorry. He didn't really respond other than to say "it's broken."

My elbow is ok, btw.

I broke a guy's nose once with a Sikma move. I felt bad and it sounded gross but it was really his fault. Don't guard with your face in the low block.

I talked to him. He got some bad advice at the ER and didn't see the ENT doc for a week. So when he got there doc says he needs to go under for surgery. he protests and says "no way." So she breaks it again right on the table at his request.
