Playing in the nba is a difficult task to accomplish. Many young boys play all their life with hopes and dream to once compete in the national basketball association, but many don’t realize that dream. Only few receive such honor to play professional basketball, but once you get to the nba you still have a lot to accomplish: You need to crack a spot in the line up. Many players find that task difficult and many just become benchwarmers to only play few minutes a year. Sometimes benchwarmers are given opportunity to receive precious playing time due to an injured starter or suspension.
For example Jared Dudley received an amazing 37 minutes of playing time, his personal best. For a night Jared Dudley was a star as he posted 16 points and 10 rebounds and three steals.
But sadly he could not finish the game because of exhaustion. Jared Dudley fainted during the 4th quarter and was rushed to a near by hospital.
“It is not rare at all for basketball player to collapse during a game, after warming the bench for most or the year and entering one game for such a high amount of time.” Told us Dr. Christopher Marksin, an expert on this topic.“Many players push themselves too hard when they get those precious minutes, they don’t want to get off the court not knowing when they will get to play again. Their body cannot take such high amount of intensity, their body just shuts down and they face serious risk health risks and possibly death.”
“I can die a happy man” said Dudley “I have posted a double-double.” Which is a huge accomplishment for a player that nearly averages 4 a game for his entire professional career.
Jared Dudley was a star for the bobcats tonight but we hope he can survive this night.
