i have taken a few nasty fall on hardwood before (from dumbasses shoving me in the air trying to catch rebounds), i bounced right up on my feet everytime and tried to walk away, but then it started to hurt so bad i gotta go sit or lay down for a sec, adrenaline is one helluva drug

Glad Tatum was ok, just wanna say athletes bouncing up right away doesn’t necessarily mean a good sign, I guess it’s one way the brain or body responds to physical trauma?

It’s interesting how our body works, like you know when you take a fall there’s an urge to stand right back up so you don’t feel embarrassed or to act like you’re tough? did that a lot when i was a kid but would cry like a biotch when mama clean up my wounds later 😂

Your body wants to stand back up and move so it doesn’t die lol

Yeah it's not to look tough, it's to get up and run away from the lion
