Hi guys! have you already experienced falling down on the floor in playing basketball? I have already experienced it several times. Sometimes, in spinning, driving to the hoop, and sometimes in saving the ball. There was one time that I took a spin against my defender but my foot tied up with the opposing player and I fell down on the floor with my back. There are times that I fell down on the floor because I dived for the loose ball to save it and avoid getting out of bound. There were also times that while I was down on the floor, another player fell down on me. But even with those experienced, I am still lucky because I never got injured badly. Maybe my body is also strong enough to take those falls. How about you guys? Have you experienced falling down on the floor in playing basketball. Feel free to share. Have a good day and happy myLotting!

I don't play myself, but my sons do and I watch them fall down so many times during games. One time one of them was running so fast to save a ball from going out and he ended up on the other side of the benches. But the injuries they had from playing basketball were not from falling down; two of my sons broke their fingers from playing basketball...

Of course I have,in fact so many times. Many times I injured badly also. But the thing is that I have never stopped playing Basketball. It's all about playing and keeping it enthusiastic. I have to say that I have fallen down mostly when I am driving in to the hoop as most of the defenders fowl me even if we are practicing because then there is no fowl out. Anyway I don't care it because that will make me more stronger.

I've seen quite a few players falling down either accidental or deliberately fouled by another player. There were a few that seemed really bad but most still were able to continue playing. Although I haven't fallen down playing basketball, I however experienced hitting the ground a few times while playing soccer. I got bruised but nothing serious though :)

I have fallen down a couple of times while playing basketball, and it has always been pretty okay, I mean I didn't hurt myself a lot when playing basketball. I remember I used to get pushed around a lot during basketball because I was a lot smaller than a lot of the other players (I'm 5'2) and that was a problem sometimes, but I eventually got used to it and managed to stand my ground. However there was one time, I was playing point, and it was during playoffs... I ended up driving to the basket so I could lay it off to the winger (just to pull the players onto me and then dish the ball for a clear shot), and ended up getting spun around, and went over on my ankle so bad. My ankle swelled up really badly... it was the size of like a door knob.. went to the hospital (which I refused to go because I knew it was just a sprain so I knew how to treat it), and sat there for 3 hours for them to just tell me to put ice on it which I already knew I was going to have to do. That's the worst I've been hurt playing basketball... soccer however... I have broken both my feet.
