But it would be interesting to hear thoughts from folks who have had knee injuries about how they came back from them, completely or not?

When I was 5 - I got hit by a car and had a compound fracture (bone came out of the skin) right below my knee, as well as tearing my MCL. I feel like I'm 100% today, but I can't really comment on the recovery process besides the fact that it sucked balls at 5 years old not being able to play outside with friends for almost a whole year. Really though I don't remember that much. My example shows that even severe injuries can be recovered from quite well. Although I must say that I was 5, didn't play basketball, was not 7 feet tall :P
I'm sure Dirk wouldn't keep playing on it if he knew it would be detrimental to his future/playing career.
