I do, and don't agree with Keg Man at the same time. Some players play through the pain. Others can't. I always played through injuries in football and baseball even when it was broken fingers, dislocated thumbs, and a dislocation at the elbow. I just plain wanted to play the damned games that much. It meant more than the pain to me. I never really had any serious injuries in basketball. I had several bloody noses though. When you're 5-11, playing center, and the guys you're guarding have over 6" on you constantly, you get physical. They'd retaliate with elbows.
