Concussions aren't often discussed in the NBA compared to other professional leagues like the NFL or NHL, but it appears that they probably should be.
During Wednesday's pregame show, basketball analyst Charles Barkley estimated that he had "10 good" concussions during his 16-year playing career, and 20-30 in total.
With that being said, Barkley disagreed with the Cavaliers' decision to sit Kevin Love in Game 3, stating that basketball concussions are less severe than football ones.
