This week's Nothing But Respect with returning champion and human body expert Henry Abbott was a very fun one. Before we get too far into what was said, I have to tell you, I have been thinking nonstop about something Henry said over an hour into the recording: When he played high school basketball in Oregon, one of the teams in their conference played on a court with a pillar in the center. He said they knew how to set picks with it. I cannot imagine a better combination of dangerous and comical in a basketball scenario.
We also talked a lot about the NBA's injury crisis and Henry's expertise on the matter. His recent book, Ballistic, is a fascinating look at the frontiers of the human body and the science of its perfection. I loved it, as I loved his ability to name most of the muscles in the calf. Harry also brought up the story about the 49ers maybe suffering an injury crisis because of electromagnetic radiation.
