and people were saying NBA is getting less & less physical.
but you'd never know when a collision may take place, intentionally or non-intentionally and it might just cause a career breaking injury.
it's like bikers wearing exoskeleton suits vs those that only wear helmets, it's their choice since it's an safety issue. as long as they don't wear spiked elbow pads i don't see a problem since the pads protects both players in contact by absorbing the force.
