- These 10 players were on track to being all time great players and hall of famers, but their careers were ended too soon due to too many injuries. Not all of these players got to show their true potential in the NBA, but before their injuries they were on the right path to doing so.

Whoever is watching in 2019 I’m so glad Derrick rose is back on track to be an all-star! Great comeback
@Bassam Aldhahiry so? He's so playing at all star level.
Brad_The_ god 21 he deserves to be an All-Star but he’s not
Wish he made the all star game
Did you really just ask who
He had had a pectal tear
Seeing Brandon Roy on the cover almost made me cry
5:25
Ikr. He had such amazing talents
SAME I hate the blazers and i still couldnt take it
bro me too
retired at 20 something after only 5 seasons bro
he could’ve atleast won a chip
It's always the damn knees
moop need stronger base; squats , quad/hamstring strength especially for basketball players
Torn ACL
@@lionssuperbowl facts
Not always, but often.
Walton was feet, as was Yao.
@Keaton Clay 00:00 portland trailblazers letz go go oregon!
Just imagine a Damian x Roy backcourt... Man.. he had so much potential
With oden alderage batum...could of been nba champs....i forgot the back ups....rudy fernendez and miller
@@jamesblack6226 cj as the sixth man lol but yea the NBA would probably be different now. I guarantee it would've
Thats a stacked team
Even though they are awesome the blazers wouldnt have gotten Lillard or CJ. Maybe they would have but they wouldnt need them. That team without them would have won Championships. Miller, Roy, Batum. Aldridge, Oden, Matthews. Come on!!!
BRO brandon roy shit really hurt me
All of these players have one thing in common
They all have good my team cards
They play basketball
I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT
LMFAOOO HELL YEAH
They all had injuries
And there all guys
Being here when Bol Bol is opal, not that shocking.
this lacked research not to include Grant Hill
Derrick rose
Grant was supposed to be one of the goats too...
@@SIX1NINE
he could have overshadowed Kobe's career to be honest..
because Kobe's Hype began when Hill go down..
@@mikel25_ Rose is not yet done..
@@tiismuna Couldn't agree more 😪
Brandon Roy hit me so hard
Oof I’m orange that’s my uncle
Jaamela Roy rlly m8
Oof I’m orange I swear on my life
ITz Bwap yuppp
Jaamela Roy a hit me up on Facebook @ Rick flair
Derrick Rose should be on this list at number one
Roy Williams except he never ended his career
And he made a comeback
D 33? (Danny granger)
Roy Williams what I’m sayin
A comeback and ended career are not the same
When he showed Pete it almost made me cry, I miss him so much I look up to him highly, and his passing was truly amazing
for real i wish he coulda played in my day he came along too soon before tv really kicked in
Wow you seem to be young you must know time travel
Brandon Roy’s injuries were tragic. He would’ve been a legend if he wasn’t injured
Yeah Brandon Roy would of been of beast, if he didn't get injured
He's still a legend. Not because of basketball, but because he shielded a kid from gunfire 💯
And he's a total class act.
@@leondy1526 post that source bro
@@leondy1526 source lol I'm late
I was waiting on Grant Hill to be #1
Me too

I said David Thompson but u right Grant Hill.
Well you don't have good reading comprehension skills. Read the title again
just a doggo lol he didn’t retire cause of injuries
8:07 “ standing at only 6’10”
lol
Lol
Minecraft business sticking out of divnkjuhxg think gghu in Kno bunk uhh gun nñuuuuuh struggling hhjikkok
Brandon Roy was competing with Wade & Bryant as the best Shooting Guards in the NBA..if only his knee problems didn't get in the way...
Miles Shaw Oden, Bynum, Roy, and Rose. Biggest what ifs of the 2000s.
Mikaél Rence Bynum already had 2 rings, and drose is still playing!
So it's just roy and oden "what if"
No hes not michle jordan is
Dez Indeed Dropped It rose and bynum are clearly what ifs. The Bulls had someone who theoretically could be top 2 rn+jimmy butler-provided he still developed into the jimmy we know now-and some solid starters like noah and boozer. That team coulda done some shit if Rose's lower body didn't go to shit. Also Bynum woulda been top 3 centers rn, but we don't know that cuz he retired
trena down he means at the time lol. Best at that time
Andrew Toney (Knee), Bernard King (Knee), Larry Bird (Back), Magic Johnson (HIV), Grant Hill (Feet), Penny Hardaway (MicroFractures), Len Bias (Heart), Reggie Lewis (Heart), Bobby Hurly (legs, Car Crash), Drazen Petrovic (Car Accident)
Fred Howell damn like this list
RIP Len, Reggie
I dont think it's fair to count the guys who suddenly died though, because their careers werent ended by 'injury'. But still King, Magic & Bird not being on the list is a joke.
Why Bother Death is a pretty serious injury, though.
Malik Sealy
Even Derrick Rose they forgot him so fast after his injury....... But he is still one of the best player in NBA
Anklez Prod he’s def a top 30 player
@@30boyjb he isn't top 30 in any offensive categories and he sucks at defense. Also only played 51 games so that takes from his value too.
Anklez Prod right? These people are overrating drose just like how people overrate AI.
AI is underrated asf
Lputony name 30 players better then drose shit name 20 if you can do that ill cashapp you $20
Good list but missing grant hill. Grant was going to be MVP for years bruh.
Yeap, him and T Mac were beasts pre injuries
MVP for years lol grant hill lol
No. You lack reading comprehension. 19 years in the league which means injuries didn't end hid career. Duh.
True. It's also missing Danny Granger.
Cameron DeCeglie go watch some grant hull highlights
This is when you realize how tough LeBron is. Been playing for 15 years, 8 straight NBA finals and still no sign of slowing down. Let that sink in
fightnight14 coz todays playing is soft. unlike jordans era. so many hard fouls and still MJ can be the GOAT
I actually thought NBA made the league soft to prevent injuries but players still get hurt big time, maybe players today are more fragile it's because they are insanely more athletic than Jordan's era. Meanwhile LeBron is the most athletic but he still doesn't get any major injuries.
Mark Lester Dimailig fouls have nothing to do with most NBA injuries. Running, jumping, and cutting do.
Dumbass.
fightnight14 neither did Jordan
fightnight14 that’s not tough lol Tough has to do with your mental capacity in overcoming pain. Lebron is smart, takes care of his body better than any other player, making him as durable as possible.
Tracy McGrady did indeed get out of the first round with the 2012-2013 San Antonio Spurs.
He played about 30 min total in the entire playoffs but it technically counts.
Man i was rooting for tmac to get a ring unfortunately heat were too good
I love the longer vids! Do whatever you like/want to do though!
Greg Oden def lost the most, he lost his entire career! He was injured so early in his career he lost everything.
Had no clue yao Ming retired cus of an injury . Damnnn...
Big guys with glass feet never make it. I worry aboput Embiid
We live in a new era medicine is better than it has been ever before
jesse Hoffman Ming will be proud of the rockets
jesse Hoffman same
It's hard to stay healthy when u are a 7'6 guy..
Shaun Livingston hurt me because he had so much potential to be a all-star caliber player and now he's a bench player on a the warriors
With a bunch of rings. And still playing. Umm hes not tragic
Meaning he gets to sit on a big chair and win priceless rings for taking a seat.
He has it made..
A bench player with one of the NBAs current best post up jump shots.
Tyler Burbeck and now he retired
Penny in his prime was LEGIT in terms of 2 way talent and the most unique, crafty, imaginative, creative, talent this league has ever seen outside of Jordan, where the game just came easy to him and you were awed and dumbfounded by his aesthetic plays.
In my mind, he'd be in GOAT convo if those early prime years nourished and flourished...
He was more fun to watch than both Kobe and Lebron...
There! i said my piece.
true. Penny was the man
Big fan of Kobe's game & mentality here boss! That being said, can't say that disagree with you there! That dude's game was so smooth! Slasher, shooter, dunker, post up, playmaker, & great defender. Penny & Hill were the newer versions of Pippen. Pip was my favorite player back then. But, Penny & Grant were better offensively.
nice job!!! especially your call on Bynum, the people that criticized (almost as a bust) just seemed to over look the fact that he suffered those injuries.
For everyone saying D Rose. Last word from him was he's still playing, no Grant Hill because even though he was really affected by injuries he had a 19 year career and retired at 40 so it didn’t feel right to add him on here .And oops I forgot to mention this list is in no order. My bad lol
Bill Walton played for the clippers before the Celtics
Extreme hardcore wrestling Pro. 📺
Austin Sweatt D rose because he gets injured yea4 after year
Yes, DR is still playing, but the injury wrecked his career.
Chris bosh
He said standing only at 6'10 like its really shorts
6'10 is a little short in the NBA.
A big chunk of tbe NBA is either 6'11 or 7'0+
[GD] XenoSteel that’s not true LOL

Brandon Roy in his prime 🔥🔥🔥
Coz of injuries 😭😭😭
He never actually reached his prime. He had been battling injuries since College. 😥
@@UndeadItachi2 😢😭😓
Great video 👍
Peter Maravich was ballin son.. ahead of his time maybe
brandon fowler if the NBA three pointer line was around at the beginning of his career, he would have absolutely shattered the nba scoring record
His moves were super slick
Damn that my guy Pete cold with the passes
He was on some Globetrotter sh*t it seemed!
*Wtf man you didn't know Grant Hill???.*
Dats what i say
It wasn't a career ending injury. He wasn't the same but he still played a long time.
@@xDreMack Yeah! But he missed years worth of games. And that pairing of a healthy Hill & T-Mac would have changed the landscape of the NBA, especially, the L-East-ern Conference! Those two, healthy would have dominated the East. Hill was a silent assassin; especially on defense, a lot like Kawhi.
@@daudetphanor1819 more like bron with d. Dude was a great point forward.
@@markpagtama7954 Not like Lebron, because he played of the ball a lot. He would cut, roll, & allow other guys to get a rhythm. The G. Hill & Allan Houston pairing in Detroit could have also been great.
Good list.
I immediately thought of Allen Houston and Grant Hill
You should make a video called "Portland Trailblazers: The Unluckiest Team in NBA History"
But they missed on a lot of great players like Jordan, Durant... And they could have won a lot more championships
Gaming Jailbreak yeah but put yourself in their shoes. For most of their picks such as the Greg oden one, they were considered the right pick at the time. Although KD put up huge numbers in college, many people believed that Greg oden was the better player. I will agree that maybe not picking Jordan was just a downright bad decision because Sam Bowie wasn’t necessary considered better than Jordan but even that pick at the time wasn’t considered to be a bad pick.
Sam Bowie. Was the clear better pick. The Blazers are easily the most unluckiest team.
@@Jlatr A lot of these GMs go with the safe route. Durant was recognized as a pure scorer who would need to bulk up. I watched Oden play & he his post game was clumsy at best. I'm no expert scout, but, come on son! A natural scorer & shooter vs. a big man w/o post moves is not really close. And Bowie was nowhere close to being considered as good or better than Jordan. Back then, the running joke was: "the only one who could stop Jordan is Dean Smith!" In those days, teams never won w/o a dominant big men! They already had Drexler & felt they needed a dominant big. They drafted wrong twice. Bowie had previously missed a college season due to injury. They could have paired Drexler & Jordan & terrorized the league. And they could have paired Durant with Roy and cause sleepless nights for opposing teams.
Brandon Roy, Bill Walton and Greg Oden all shutdown with injury. Missing KD and MJ. Right when they looked like they could go to the chip, everyone gets hurt, they went from the West championship to missing the playoffs. Luck isn’t on their side.
TMAC was still a beast after his injury
that was a really good video
Imagine if Bird never had no back injuries. Never got out of shape and could have never played half of his career is crazy pain. MJ may have never seen that 1st 3peat and the Pistons may have never won a Championship. Possibly white men can't jump would never mattered or been made. When you watch him play it's crazy his passing court awareness is just blow Magic and I would say on par with James. His scoring was like MJ and that was still being considered an un-athletic white guy. Oh he was just as clutch if not more than anyone. He also gathered in those rebounds and a nice stat line. Was a time he is the only player I think really close to MJ on talent and just winning mentality. Bird is what made the Celtics tick and it's sad he got injured and played injured as much as he did. You hear the stories and no one in the NBA was as tough as him today yesterday or anyday.
Pistons still won the 2004 NBA championship, though.
I 100% agree
Penny Hardaway is personally my favorite player of all time.
a point guard in a shooting guards body, everything about him was so cool n smooth, the pinstripe jerseys, the nike commercials, the movie Blue Chips
@@mannyb.5925 my God uncle was in blue chips
Brandon Roy was a beast one of the best I ever witnessed
Yao had a really nice mid range shot & had some finesse moves down low, one of my favorite center's ever
Obviously Derrick Rose
Derick rose was the best
I know right
@TKLT 2 is u dumb ? drose career isn’t even over yet his still givin buckets 🤦🏽♂️niggas don’t kno basketball , drose just isn’t as explosive as before but he added a jump shot and he still attacks the rim
He isnt even retired yet lmao
FaZe_ Ghost Broy
Brandon Roy hurts man, imagine him and Dame on the court...they'd be a crazy duo...and Derrick Rose seems to be getting back on track on playing in an All Star level again
T-Mac should be top3
Its not in any particular order. Its just 10 great players who had career ending injuries.
I like them long browski, thank you
Man this video made me appreciate and respect Drose even more, had so many injuries and surgery on his knees but still capable of being a 6th man of the year.
7:01 I thought that light was on the court 😂😂😂
Tracy should be number 1💯👀
J talend Cruz I don't know about number one he might but he could be the next great - best player after the goat.! He could shot, shot the 3 so fast, great passer and he did a great show to with his dunks he sure deserved some rings but he was very unlucky.! :(
Dim Val I’ll take that but yes he was one of the greats wish I could of seen it sucks cause of injuries👀💯
J yeah i agree and i was lucky to see him play on the TV of course i wish i lived in the States to see him play in the court from close and with Yao Ming healthy he would win Lakers and take championships.! Btw people say bad things for the US all the time killers, destroyer of nations wars and more and for some things i agree but i love the people the simple people and btw we have NBA the best Basketball in the world for so long so this is good one of the good things for the US.! :)
Not #1 but definitely higher on this list for damn sure!!
Byrdman 51/50 who’s number one then lol.?
That boy Pete could 🏀. Respect 💯
. Yeah I saw a Christian movie about his childhood and basketball beginnings and I thought they were overreacting in the movie about his passing skills and shooting abilities but I guess he was just as good as they show him in the movie I started to really watch basketball in 1976 so I only watched him for about two or three years he was known for being at the very top in scoring nearly 30 points per game but not as great as Magic yeah but there's no one like Magic watching Magic was like watching one of the Globetrotters except that it was real 48minutes of entertainment magical indeed there's been someone close to Jordan and there will be someone better than Jordan but there will never be another Magic because the sports media did a great job downgrading Magic skills in favor of the more appealing flashiness of Jordan and yes Jordan was great but Magic was amazing magical.
great video
D rose drop 50!!!🔥🔥 proops to Rose for keep grinding and ballin
That broke my heart hearing that Greg Oden is only 29
I started watching this video at 9:45 P.M. and just finished it now after *25* minutes. The one and only player that I didn't know before today was Jay Williams (#2).
Damn what a shame! Pretty sad to see so much talent get taken away by injuries. That’s gotta be a tough pill to swallow being forced to give up the game you love to play cuz you physically can’t play it anymore.
Penny was #3???? WHAT?? Penny had GOAT qualities written all over him!
Penny could’ve potentially been the goat . No joke
Where is my guy Gilbert Arenas at??.. nice vid btw 👌🏾
iRepDMV guy got arrested and suspended indefinitely. No injuries
Arenas had 2 major knee injuries before that
3x surgery most likely fucked him up and gun thing really ended his career for sure
nonickslick major fall was still because of the gun case.
does being stupid enough to bring a loaded gun to a lockerroom Count as an injury?
Which are those sneakers Webber is using at 8:57?
Nice video.... I'd add Baron Davis?! Guard with awesome dunks!!! Y'all remember him?!
Man forgot about danny granger
alexandros constantinou damn I remember him,He was Paul George before PG took his spot and shine
Abraham Rivera his knee and pg13 ended him ye tou right
Everyone does smh
Justice Cooper ikr
you're wrong, he was a 3x better shooter than pg. pg was a 2x defender than Granger. I wish he would come back to Pacers. he'd fit perfect with our current team. pg best season 23.7 ppg, DG best was 25.8 in his 4th season which was also his last healthy season
also pg didn't take his spot, they played togetthing with pg starting at the 2 & Danny at the 3. Lance came off the bench. Once he got injured pg moved to the 3 & lance started at the 2
seems like knees, legs & b********* from detroit kill our championship teams
3:02 bruh and they are joking on lonzo
Can’t,pick on a guy that good
Brandon roy is my all time favorite blazer and was the clutchest player I've ever seen. It seemed like every other game he was hitting clutch shots and game winners. truly depressing what happened to him
3:03 lol that shot
How about Grant Hill?
Guys the title says careers ENDED by injuries, rose is still doing pretty good, but not as good as b4
Pizza Piggy gaming How bout Larry Bird
Well now he's a coach but I miss him broy
f
Unless I was watching something else all these players except Jay Williams kept playing. So keeping Grant Hill and Derrick Rose off doesn’t make sense. Hill lost multiple seasons to injury in his prime and Rose can’t even get on the court any more. Have to give props to having some old guys, was hoping Walton would make it... he was awesome!
He got traded to the jazz, and the jazz immediately released him
Antonio McDyess played for a long time, but those knee injuries turned him from an all-star and all-nba player into a role player. McDyess was crazy fun to watch. He was a Shawn Kemp/Blake Griffin type of player before the injuries.
3:03 that jumpshot form though
Dude..how in the world is Grant Hill not on this list.
Antonio Prescimone because his career didn’t end
It took years but he got back on track
Because you didn't read the whole title.
John I’ll get you banned from TH-cam for your answer to the question
8:08 Chris Webbber standing only 6'10 😂😂 i wonder how tall you would be😂😂😂😂
I'm a Blazers fan and this video stirs up too many emotions. After sseeing Nurkic go down I'm just like.... sigh....
3:03 that jumper though
Penny should be number 1. So much potential there.
Its not in order
Not in order
agree, Brandon Roy maybe right behind him
Gianfranco Tejada it should have been in order the , because there are numbers given for each player
Penny was a hof talent, the best player out of that list. Penny's injuries some of it was his fault. He got injured in the 96 playoffs against Detroit in the first round. Joe Dumars accidentally slammed his knee on Penny's left leg. (Google Penny Haradaway Joe Dumars injury). Hardaway didn't play for the rest of the series against Detroit, but Detroit still got swept 3-0. Penny exacerbated the injury on his left knee by playing against the Hawks and then the Bulls, and then playing in the Olympics during the summer of 96. So when training camp started for the 96-97 season, his injury flared up and he missed 28 games and had to have surgery. The problem was 28 games wasn't enough for a full recovery, so he was playing injured the entire 96-97 season which further worsened his injury. In 97-98 his knee broke down because of his foolish decision to play injured the previous season and he missed the entire 97-98 season, well except for the all-star game.
Had Penny just sat out the entire 96-97 season, he would of had a full recovery and he probably would have won a championship, because that Magic team was really good.
Love it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Watching this hurts my knees
I think if you should also put Elgin Baylor on this list. Elgin tore his patella tendon in the 1965 playoffs then later tore his achilles in 1971, which effectively ended his career.
Man, Andrew Bynum had the most beautiful post game since the great centers of the 90's. Had his body held up we would be talking about Bynum as the best center in the league right now. I don't really think people appreciate just how good he was.
Paradite facts
Paradite I remember the 2006 Andrew Bynum and watching his footwork as a big man it was him and dwight as the dominant big man
3:25 he took the rebound from his own teammate
Thats normal.. He missed it and passed it back
Food for thought:
Anyone think about how these injuries changed the game of basketball? ' The Logo' is someone who the NBA thought of back then to introduce the 3-point line. Andrew Bynum, Greg Oden, Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway... they all changed the game too. Bringing in what was then called "streetball" into the NBA smaller high flying guys then came forward as the main attraction, big men are in a sense illegitimate in the game now, with all teams playing "smaller" without any big threat of a big man like those in this video.
7:01 Am I seeing an antique Chandelier in the basketball court? Lol.
D Rose?
Dope Game d rose not retired u big fool
Rteded Sescvg He said that their careers ended, not that they retired
Lych03G rose is still on the cavs tho. He will play when he is healed
Lych03G some retired because they weren't on the same level as other NBA players, have you even watched the video
Bricco Well not every single one
I wonder what their careers would be like if they didnt have injuries
Yao Ming might still be in the NBA
Asian King tmac would have surpassed Kobe
Brandon Roy would b top 10 easy
@@nuknuknuk111 exactly thankyou
Can’t forget that Pete had half the working heart as everyone else, it’s a rare defect where he was missing 1-2 of his heart valves, when your supposed to have 4. So that means he was getting less oxygen over all and was causing his body to work overtime, so was probably constantly exhausted.
7:25 that was so sweet! I'd take that over Kyrie's handles any day! (Not saying he had better handles than Kyrie, although he kinda was the Steph-Kyrie hybrid of his time....)
When down to last 2-3 i expect D Rose and Grant Hill. Tnx anyway
onuruz me too but then thought about it they still had decent careers and rose is doing decent right now
@@bhuang8981 makes sense 🤔
Their careers were not ended by injuries that is why. D Rose is still active. Injury plagued careers but not ended by them.
Isaiah Thomas might end up on this list if he doesn’t come back strong next year
Isah Thomas played n the 90s for pistons u dumb numb nutz
Tommy you mean Isiah Thomas Dumb Nuts 🥜 I see you do not watch Basketball 🏀 He is talking about a different Isiah you know the one that was on the Boston Celtics runner up on MVP voting a few years ago that now plays for the nuggets.
Grant Hill should have been on that list. He was great until leaving for Orlando, which is when the injury bug would slow him down from then on.
I expected Hill to be #1 on this list
@@eyesoket2364 Definitely. The list is really endless. Another name is Brad Daugherty who was a great player who also had to pack it in before the age of 30 in Cleveland.

This is a depressing list :(
Pistol Pete was something else
grant hill and derrick rose

Rose not so much but grant hill............😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Come on man how do you not have g.hill on this list
D Rose is like G hill “what could have been” D rose would have been at his prime right now, he is the youngest MVP ever and in the east would be perennial east conf finals
I came back here. 50pts nuff said
Bernard King should be on this list imo
And maybe even Drazen Petrovic. Really there are so many that could be on here and that is the real sad part to me. So much talent we never got to see.
OMG. I totally forgot about Yao Ming lol. Only remember him now
Those Maravich passes looked spicy...
Grant Hill is missing here. Top 1 or 2 on the list.
dude went to my high school
You lack reading comprehension skills.
Rip to my blazers 😢
Man im a blazers fan we have so much injured players
Brandon Roy had no meniscus in his left knee when he was drafted. Had his first knee surgery in high school. He played his short career on one leg.
I hope this won't be the thing for Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.
KD shoulda stayed
Kd is already an all time great in the top 40 even if you hate his guts. You can't compare that to a Brandon Roy.
@@lucasfamily4670 I know that and I agree, but you're saying that as if I'm not calling him one of the greatest player who has the potential for it to be ended by his latest injury. Which is literally what I'm saying.
I would replace Jay Williams with Derrick Rose. Although JW would probably have been a very good PG, he was no match for DR's first step. When DR had his ACL his whole game came crashing down (it induced more injuries).
It’s good to see d rose getting back to him old self
T-Mac and Yao, made in to their second round, which played with lakers, and it was the one team took lakers to game 7.
Jabari Parker and dlo might make here
NBA GG bruh this is dlo’s first major injury, he’s gonna be fine just watch
