Kevin Ware (WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT)

If you're a basketball fan or a Twitter user you probably remember the horrific injury to Kevin Ware's leg during March Madness 2013.  Ware went up to block a 3 point, and he came down awkwardly resulting in a horrifying compound fracture (probably the grossest injury I've ever seen in sports).

It really does not look human.  Ware was clearly in a ton of pain, but was on the floor repeatedly telling his teammates just to win the game.

Several months later Ware is back in action, returning to a standing ovation on Wednesday night.  First play he saw he took a pass, squared up and sunk the basket.  Movie quality.

Ware had all but slipped off of the social media radar until his return, but is right back on it getting over 100'000 hits in one night on YouTube just to see him hit a 3 pointer.

A scriptwriter couldn't have done it any better, and I hope to see Ware have a great career.

  2. I couldn't deal with this image. I hope to never see anything like this in real life! I can only imagine that he was in a terrible state of shock! I'm glad he's back! This is a great example of never giving up.
