PCP? Amphetamine?
i would say PCP since it will "numb you" but i don't want to see some one high on PCP playing Bball/football/etc....geez they would be a poor sport.

PCP makes sense... but would he really be playing agame while using? Perhaps just the natural endorphins could have this effect.
Usually you see someone injecting something directly into the knee or in the arm that is injured in these movies. My guess would be A) a local anesthetic/nerve block so they don't feel the pain but can still use the appendage B)steroid shot to reduce inflammation so that the joint is still mobile but may hurt like hell use still C) demerol for the pain...really not sure. 😕
The answer is adrenaline. Don't you guys watch the NFL? Donovan F. McNabb broke his leg and kept playing through the entire game without it phasing him.
