And if there was a special shoe, at his age, i don’t think he’ll be experimenting with a different shoe. It’s just the way he is, he’s only got like a year or so left in him so I think he’s been holding up pretty good considering the other centers on the roster. lol.

the Human feet are manufactured by nature in order to function their best on their own. The natural support system in one’s feet will get weaker if you keep wearing shoes that do the job that the ligaments and tendons are supposed to do to keep stability in them. Im sure before modern shoes were invented people were not rolling there ankles like crazy all the time. When I was back in India me and my friends were always very physically active and we used to play only in flip-flops. I never saw any of my friends go down once holding their ankle. We used to play soccer, jump off walls and trees all the time.

After I came to America I have seen people mess up their ankle all the time. People here only wear shoes all the time and if the body is not forced to maintain the strength of something, then it will not in order to preserve its energy.

It is something Camby or people like him should try out. There is proper science behind this and is very applicable. Start out slowly with barefeet in a smooth surface like basketball court. Do light shoot arounds and such until you slowly develop strength in your natural supportive system for your ankles.

If it is not do-able then that is that. It never hurts inquire about a possible solution to a problem.

Looking past the traditional aids like tape and ‘hi tops’. The issue, I am thinking, is allowing the ankle to flex freely most of the time, but offer support beyond a certain amount of rotatation or twist.
I was thinking a very ‘high top’ anlke shell holding some titanium (light + strong) exterior frame rails going down to sliding attachments on a relatively snug shoe. The slide is for acceptable ankle flexibility, but it stops at an adjustable point where ‘no mas’ is to be allowed. Just maybe it could reduce the severity of a full foot side roll by engaging and supporting the foot at that critical, major ‘ow’ point (if you sprained your ankle, you know that point – very painful). It could look really cool too, kind of an ‘exoskeleton’.
For our players, cost no object. Should be doable.

(knee exoskeleton could be the next project).
