Injuries Sustained Playing Pickup Basketball

I am now 3-for-3 in getting injured playing pickup basketball:

* Took a charge on the baseline. A lowered shoulder into the rib cage. Damage: bruised ribs - stiff for 3 weeks, bruised ego because he was probably 16 - permanent.

* Outfought for a rebound. Took a hip check into the groin. Collapsed immediately. Damage: Family Jewels - functional ability yet to be assessed.

* Played three consecutive full-court 5-on-5 games after at least 5 half-court 4-on-4 games. Severe cramp in lower leg upon diving for a loose ball. Damage: Sore calf muscle for the last three days.
