I sure hope he can hear the pop of an ACL, or at least investigates when others hear a pop. Karl Malone's untreated, misdiagnosed ACL tear cost the Lakers a championship.

One AD injury and this cat will be using his severance package to vacation in Cancun for the rest of his life.

TL;DR - he gone in 2 years.
