Pediatrician said young males with knock knees play better basketball like mj. true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Most people have "knock knees". I have knock knees and i'm terrible at basketball. The doc was most likely trying to reassure you that having mild knock knees will not keep you from playing and succeeding at sports assuming you put the time and effort into it.
