    The game was way more physical back in the day. West also had his nose broken NINE times throughout his career. He played the 1969 NBA Finals with a torn hamstring wrapped in Ace bandages and tape. He won the Finals MVP (on the losing team) and had a 42/13/12 triple-double in game #7 on one leg.

    At least this article didn’t start with mentions of orgasms
