In the history of the NBA, there are countless players who have fallen due to injuries, which should be the rising stars of the league, and even some people may dominate the league. But injuries ruined them, saying that injuries are as fierce as tigers, it is not an exaggeration, today we take a look at the history of the NBA which talented players have fallen due to injuries?
The tenth, Arenas, the great general Arenas, a superstar who fell from the altar due to a knee injury, was once the best scorer in the league, and also had a very brilliant season, the peak of The Arenas, whether facing Kobe Or James, showed no weakness, but in 2007 and 2008, the two serious injuries This genius fell instantly, and then could only leave the NBA.
Ninth, Howard, in the 09-13 season, Howard was undoubtedly the league's number one center. Three consecutive best defensive players, selected in the best regular season lineup for a while, single-core led the team to the finals, four consecutive years of blocks more than 2+, with one person to build the magic of the entire defensive system. Because of his presence, the Magic has been a strong team in the East, claiming to be the only star who could single james at that time. Once known as the only player in the league who has the ability to change James, but after several back injuries, the peak of the Magic beast is no longer, after leaving the Magic, gradually reduced to a role player, even to the point of no ball to play, fortunately in the twilight of his career in the Lakers to realize the dream of the championship.
The eighth, Carter, was once the most explosive superstar in the league, more "ufo", the peak of the various flying, the next person buckle, handy, but also suffered from knee injuries at the peak, fell to the ground, from the home star to the role player, to a number of teams until retirement.
Seventh, Anfenni Hardaway, before he was injured, is undoubtedly a very good two-way defender in NBA history! Not only does he have a very good passing ability, but his scoring ability is also quite amazing! Along with Grant Hill, he is Jordan's successor! At its peak, all kinds of breakthroughs and personal dunks were omnipotent, but injuries ruined the genius and became a famous glass man.
The sixth, Yao Ming, in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming is undoubtedly the most influential player, averaging 20+10 per game in the NBA's career. Yao Ming's technology is delicate and domineering, low-post singles are basically unguarded, at that time O'Neal was already old, Howard has not yet played out, Yao Ming can be the first center in this period, but unfortunately the injury found him, in the golden age of his career had to choose to retire, which became a regret in the hearts of many people.
Fifth, Grant Hill, who was Jordan's first-generation successor, peaked at the Pistons and averaged more than 20 points per game, but after leaving the Pistons, he suffered an injury and his state decline was severe. Despite an 18-year career, the numbers have shrunk dramatically, not many honors have been awarded, and if he hadn't been injured, everyone would have thought that Hill's career would have been absolutely brilliant and would never have achieved so little now.
Fourth, Derrick Rose. At the age of 22, he became the youngest MVP player in the history of the NBA, and before the injury, Rose's physical fitness was absolutely second to none in the league, whether it was speed, explosiveness, bouncing ability is the league's top few! Change direction does not slow down, dunks do not hang baskets, large levers are all labels on Rose, and there are countless circles of fans. Unfortunately, due to the tearing of the cruciate ligament, the former "Windy City Rose" has gradually withered, and although it has recovered in recent years and set a new record for the highest score, it has not returned to its peak.
The third, Brandon Roy, in his third year in the league, Roy's supernova potential is also obvious to all, because of his scoring ability and a big heart, the nickname of "Yellow Mamba" is widely circulated, once considered to be the most promising player in the post-Kobe era to become the first scoring guard, but when he was about to reach his peak, he suffered meniscus removal surgery, resulting in only 6 seasons in his career and retiring from the NBA stage.
The second, Tracy McGrady, Maddy at the peak, all kinds of classic moments in his career, 35.13 minutes is his peak masterpiece, the flowing mid-range is very inexplicable, Jordan and Kobe both admit that the most talented player in NBA history, if there is no injury, the height that Maddy can reach is unimaginable, unfortunately, Maddy has been intermittently injured after transferring from the Magic to the Rockets, and has not returned to peak condition, otherwise the league at that time would have absolutely changed.
The first, Greg Oden, was considered a combination of Russell and Olajuwon before Oden entered the NBA, and was admired by countless professionals and media as a future super center. The same is true of him, and at the draft, he pushed Durant to be elected yuanlang. But injuries in his rookie season left the future superstar with injuries, and sure enough, he continued to get injured, having undergone five knee surgeries in four years and playing only a hundred or so games in his career. Eventually deciding to retire at the age of 26, everyone saw Auden's potential, but didn't give Auden enough time to prove it all.
