Basketball

I read speculation (5 to 10 years ago?) that in b-ball there was reason to suspect the shoes are too good.
I misstep that 40 years ago resulted in the foot slipping & the player falling, now results in a sudden stop of the foot with the leg in an unbalanced position, but the sudden stop moves upper body momentum over the out of position leg.
I don't recall seeing whether that was confirmed further or refuted.
But, it seems to make some sense, although players have been blowing up knees forever. (Gayle Sayers, Bernard King, and so on.)
At least ACL tears are less likely to be career ending now.
