As we all know, impact of sports on body is too hard,  and athletes wear battle scars from playing days their entire lives. And many times involve finger injuries. 

As the most requirement of use of our hands in sports is to throw,  catch,  grab,  deflect,  push,  pull,  etc. Sometimes,  as we hope of doing these actions smoothly but it doesn't happen. Result is broken finger, dislocation, jammed, sprained, torn, ripped and anything in between these fingers. 

As we also think, these type of such injuries are "not a big deal", but these incidents may have a long term effect. For example, dislocated finger, "Who cares? " We say from our couches." Get back in the game. It's just a finger. "

If you look at the the picture above, Tory Holt, NFL wide receiver, it shows that what a dislocated finger looks like after a long period of time. And also that's same as that of hand mangling Michael Strahan, Shawn Marion, and Lionel Hollins suffered. 

As we think after seeing these type of pictures that biggest stars are immune but they aren't as you will see from Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. 

Now let me show you some athletes who have these type of problems:-


1: Marcellus Wiley, the former NFL Defencive End. Marcellus Wiley played in the NFL since 1997 to 2006, he also had earned All-Pro honors in 2001. On his left hand he had is suffering that type of injury on the middle finger of that hand. In his nine-year career he had to suffer at least one finger injury. Wiley had accumulated 238 tackles and 44 career sacks, it means that his hands took a beating. However, he is doesn't feel upset about his current state of his angular finger. He is working on ESPN's sportsnation a co-host.

 

2: Anthony Munoz,  the former NFL Offensive Tackle. Being an athlete he is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and he is considered as one of the greatest lineman in football histroy. He also has a messed up pinkie finger on his left hand. When somebody asks him why you hasn't fixed that, his reply comes as it doesn't hurt. 

3:Kobe Bryant, the NBA Shooting Guard. The great NBA Shooting Guard isn't immune to gross finger injuries. He is five-time NBA champion and also had a fair shared of these type of injuries during his illustrious career. Bryant has dealt with severe arthritis in his right index finger for many years. While the above picture depictw a bad sprain of his right pinkie finger at the very  least. Bryant also suffered a dislocated finger in a game against San Antonio Spurts during 2016. 

4:Jameis Winston,  NFL Quarterback. The Pro Bowl quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, suffered from a separation in ring finger at the knuckle, this all happen when his finger caught between the net and the rim while throwing down a dunk. This injury is on his throwing hand,  and according to him it adds a little extra wobble to his passes. However, no finger-related mishap will ever be as embrassing as winston's "Eat the 2" pre-game speech from the 2017 season. 

5:Jim Harbaugh, the former NFL Quarterback. At the University of Michigan he was the head football coach, before that he was an NFL Quarterback. He had earned starts for four different franchises and had played 177 career games. Harbaugh was never able to earn Super Bowl ring, because of having pretty gross right pinkie finger. It is for remembering his playing career. As a player of Michigan in his sophomore year he suffered the injury.  During his practice he went under center to take a snap, he didn't his fingers fully opened before the center thrust the ball into his hands. His pinkie went sideways and it's been that way ever since.
