I'm a big fan of Nike and for the most part stay away from Adidas but this is dumb injuries happen, even to guys wearing Nike.
I've played ball in Nike and Adidas and had injuries in both

Yall are reaching....it's not like Adidas is responsible for every leg injury in the history of sports, it's just that people who wear the shoes are more prone to the injuries.
Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Reebok, hell even Converse has players who wore the shoes and got hurt. But there are just more people who get hurt that wear Adidas.
And it's not like Nikes are the best shoes, that's just what I wear. A don't wear Jordan Brand that much because they aren't the best for ankles either imo, but I would put on some damn Zig Tech Reeboks before I put on another pair of Adidas to ball in.
What you decide to wear is your prerogative. All yall Adidas heads, yall keep on, I won't lose sleep on it lol. I didn't want to even write this, but after Shumpert went down I told myself, if I see another Adidas player get hurt I'm gonna say something, and when I saw Josh Smith with the freak knee injury, I got to typing.
And again, someone, ANYONE here who hoops in Adidas everyday and doesn't have knee or ankle problems????

It's a fact that EVA foam midsole in Adidas cusion can't compete with Nike zoom/air max when it come to impact absorption
82 games a season + training + practice. I wouldnt want to play with Adidas shoes for long term

Nike slurping is so @#$@$@ ridiculous. You have dudes posting "
" to the new NFL jerseys which STILL fit like tall tees (the main complaint against Reebok) and making threads like this
Almost every major athlete wearing Nike has been injured before. It has to do with individual bodies and playing styles, otherwise every player in the past would have been injured 24/7 since they played in Chucks

I don't think adidas overall is bad for the knees but maybe their latest basketball designs are.
Like nike overall isn't bad for the knees and ankles, but I totally believe those hyperflights were dangerous.
