Makes no difference. Kobe pretty well dispelled that myth over 20 years ago.
Per KSR pregame….Ugo out sick
- Thread starter mdlUK.1
- Start date
I think prior history precludes any comments on any Kentucky fan about being more than a bit skeptical about anything that comes out as long as Calipari is here. Just like trust is earned, distrust works the same way..His disdain for Kentucky fans has been known for years. It’s been here since he crossed over into the “We are not worthy” portal.
I'm super excited for you, @JFCats22 . Now you can trash him in the game thread like you do all the other UK players.
High tops don’t do anything to prevent injuries that low tops don’t. Been studied hundreds of times.

Hell yeah I remember being 8 yrs old with sore throats, strep throats and seem like I was always sick for at least one game a year all the way up to High school and I still always played and then I'd continue on with my sickness the next day lol and lay out of school. But you had to go school on game days to play. I always made it through that day.
Ugo was sick. Flew in separately this morning to Atlanta. But, yes, it’s 100% Cal’s fault
Well I've studied it personally and I say it does. It's alot easier to turn it in low tops. Or maybe I just had bad luck but if it's such a fact I wonder why guys don't wear them in a game? Because it don't matter anymore what guys do because it's all about style and looking good.
100% agreed! You know the odds that this EXACT scenario would coincide with his long awaited return? Well over a million to be one😭
It’s literally common sense. Switched out high tops for lows one time because the floor was slippery and my high tops wouldn’t grip. I was on the floor with a blown out right ankle within 2 minutes and at the ER 20 minutes after that. Wore high tops before and ever since, rolled my left ankle the year after while getting pushed in the back on a floater, that’s just being the victim of a dick move, no shoe woulda saved me.
A single study isn’t “science” big dog. Who peer reviewed that study anyway? Not something you even thought to check was it?
I wore hi tops and low tops back in the day. It didn't matter. Sprained ankles are just bad luck in basketball. I'm surprised it isn't more common than it is, especially the scrums around the basket. It's just part of the game. It happens. My arthritis in my ankles wish it wasn't so.
They’re mad a Cal over a KSR report that may not even be true? Too funny.
Well some science is junk science. And I say you and Marcus Woo and your article is wrong. So idrgaf what you and your science say if I have an opinion on something and can think for myself. I don't really believe everything I read on the internet. But I know a few players who wouldn't play in Low tops for that reason so maybe Marcus Woo can send his scientists to KY to do a study lol.
Yup, the Earth looks flat to me. I don’t care what science says.
Anyone with internet access can use Google and find a “source” to affirm their opinions. But fact checking and vetting sources is “woke”.
Alright. Well I ain't Kobe and all that but I had a couple experiences where I try to play pickup with low tops and a it was a couple times and I rolled my right one both times about a year apart. I never had no injuries before or after and maybe it was just bad luck on my part but it happened and I've always felt like it was the low tops. I know others who've done the same and said the same.
Shall we take bets how quickly Bradshaw will be tagged with his first 2 fouls in the first half going against Bacot?
bacot has to rest also. could have used him then
I didn't mean to get an all out argument going on on here. It's not that serious to me. I just had an opinion and that's all it is. Nothing more. Nothing less. Hell, if you like the Cats then I like you so it's all good, all the time. Now enjoy the game.
Plenty of valid reasons to be over Cal, to want him to move on... but we have a contingent of folks here that absolutely have Calipari derangement syndrome. They're just obsessed with hating him.
The just reported on CBS he was sick and traveled into Atlanta himself later. Looks like it wasn't fake, he just feels good enough to give it a go.
I think it’s the design of the shoe in general, and not whether it is low or high cut.
Kobe’s argument was that soccer players did fine in low cut shoes, so he started having Nike design him low cut basketball shoes.
where the hell do people come up with this crap . you guys are hilarious
One of my best friends died of COVID in the hospital gasping for breath. You COVID deniers are truly the worst of the low.
Could be. I probably shouldn't said in my first post that EVERYONE knows better than wear low tops. I was just speaking on my way of thinking and should've said it differently. It's not even something I've spent a huge amount of time on. It's not that big of deal to me because if I try to play in any shoes now I'd break both ankles, legs and my neck with my old ass 😂.
