Which player's career was hurt more by injuries?

[htownborn]

All of these guys were all-star caliber players until injury's killed their true potential.

 

Penny could have been as good as Magic but injury's hurt his potential as well as Shaq leaving

 

Grant was putting up LeBron type numbers minus the points in Detroit and much like LeBron made a decision to go to Florida but had multiple near career ending injury's while in Orlando. Even though he continued to play after he's injury he was not nearly as good as he was early in his career.

 

McDyess was like Shawn Kemp or Blake Griffin very athletic and a power-dunker. He had one all-star season then the next year had a serious knee injury and was never the same again.

Easily Grant Hill, he was considered the successor to Michael Jordan in leading in a new era of basketball. If he had stayed healthy in Orlando him and T-Mac would have torn it up

I voted McDyess cause I'm a Knicks fan...

Penny has a case too, but he was healthy for most of his time in Phoenix, he just didnt play well alongside Stephon Marbury

I'm gonna say Penny because I think he would've been one of the best of all time (although all could've really). Grant and McDyess went on to have very successful and long careers too, I feel as though Penny did not have as great of an impact that Hill and McDyess have ended up having.
