Tony Massenburg, who played at the University of Maryland from 1985-1990 and went on to enjoy a long NBA career, was as captivated as the rest of the sports world at what unfolded in Toronto during Game 5 of the NBA Finals June 10.
Massenburg, who played for an NBA record-tying 12 teams during his career, said that he understands why Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant wanted to play on his injured calf in Game 5, even with the risks associated with the decision.
"I think as an athlete you have to look at your situation and figure where you are in your career and what the risks are and what you stand to lose versus what you stand to gain," Massenburg said on Glenn Clark Radio June 11. "Ultimately athletes always want to play if there is any way for them to play."
