Mac Rumors: National Basteball Association Player Blames Elbow Injury on Larger-Screened iPhone

I wasn’t disappointed: Bonner told O’Sullivan both that he thinks tennis elbow in his non-shooting arm is partially to blame for his three-point shooting dipping in 2014-15 – and that the thinks the injury is related to getting an iPhone 6 last fall.

As Android users could probably tell you, a larger phone most likely did not cause the Concord, N.H., native’s tennis elbow.

“Everybody is going to find this hilarious, but here’s my theory on how I got it”, he continued.

Bonner went on to explain: “I hate to make excuses, I was raised to never make excuses”.

San Antonio Spurs veteran center says that ever since purchasing the iPhone 6 that his three-point percentage took a dive. The iPhone 6 was definitely a behemoth on the level of George Costanza’s wallet compared to its predecessors.

Matt Bonner isn’t exactly an unknown in the NBA, seeing how he’s been in the Association for over a decade. By double-tapping the home button, the screen pulls the top half down to the bottom to put it within a thumb’s reach – though the Concord Monitor doesn’t mention whether Bonner was aware of the feature.

Apple offers tips for avoiding repetitive motion injuries while using a computer, but does not list tips for iPhone ergonomics that could have helped Bonner avoid his injury.

But in case Bonner is still having issues, a gadget Web site called iMore.com outlined nine helpful tips for safely using an iPhone 6, including smart grip methods called the slide, the turn and, the best one, the “Pinky Plank”. However, it’s still sounds like a insane (an extremely unfortunate) way to suffer an injury.

If you spent any amount of time watching the Toronto Raptors between 2004 and 2006, you’re well acquainted with Matt Bonner. After all, I don’t imagine Apple Inc. will be coming his way anytime soon, looking to sponsor him to promote any of their products.
