That said, if an NBA player does a more comprehensive rehab, there is NO reason he shouldn't be able to reclaim his explosiveness and agility. Obviously, there is no longer a ligament in the knee, but the rehab focuses on developing surrounding muscles to compensate. Shump may lose a bit of his explosive quickness, but he will still be excellent on ball defender. And if he stays emotionally positive, he won't lose any of his focus or mental toughness.

I think he should be back to his old form before next season's playoffs.

I agree with you the process is definitely longer. For some reason basketball recovery is different than Football. I got him being back to high level around November next year.

but then we are saying the same thing. Its a one year injury. Thats all Im saying. 100% recovery. It FEELS longer because it happened at the dead end of this season so it feels like its phucking up 2 years. Its just timing. If this happened around Christmas he would be back next year 100% chomping at the bit.

Yeah because it happened at the end it's going to seem like two years recovery but still 17 months for Shump. Basically to see the Shump before surgery.

agree.. but its just the timing, and I have zero doubts this kid will be back and better.

Hopefully he can spend a lot of his time working on his shot even if he can't run at full speed. How long until he can just shoot at 100%?

I have to tell you, I think you are talking out your ass.

Could you please show us your research? Make it particular to Pro athletes.

Otherwise I think you are spreading a lot of misinformation.

Full recovery from an ACL takes time Martin. Recovery period can range from 6-12 months. Shump will play but will he be fully effective like the Shump we knew before surgery. Even after playing we may not see the Shumpert before the surgery until another 6-12 months have passed by. Your not taking into consideration the psychological effects of having an ACL tear. Shumperts game is such an athletic game that it makes a difference in Recovery time to get to full recovery. The Knicks and fans are going to have exercise patience next year when Shump comes back. I don't doubt He will make a full recovery.

Andrew and I both have had ACL reconstruction and hang around athletes who play sports at a fairly high level. Pro athletes are at a different level in terms of their own bodies and the access to therapy, recovery, facilities etc.

I don't find what you have sited to match my own experience or knowledge. I don't see anything that also relates to pro athletes.

That is so true Martin their rehab is unlike a normal person. They are pushed to extraordinary levels when rehabbing. I didn't take that into consideration. Regardless I still think that Shump will get better with time. Full recovery still a next november or December.
