walton was great too walton is notable for being injury prone right from the beginning where hill had a great run then got knocked the fuck out

i'm jumping the gun here but who is the best player ever to have his career derailed by leg injuries? walton? grant hill?
1. Walton2. Sabonis3. Grant Hill4. Yao5. Clark Kellogg maybe!
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 27 March 2015 21:19 (nine years ago) link
Penny overrated imo
I've always been fascinated by how ilgauskas and hill had a seemingly endless series of surgeries until somehow one surgery nailed the problem and they were healthy from then on.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 27 March 2015 21:20 (nine years ago) link
man, penny in his prime was near to pippen. definitely hall of famer without the leg injury.

A healthy Penny is maybe the 125th greatest player ever.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 27 March 2015 21:23 (nine years ago) link
I remember the penny hype and it was fun but he wasn't even as good as Brandon Roy.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 27 March 2015 21:27 (nine years ago) link
xp so you are conceding him as a hall of famer then

Idk Artis Gilmore had to wait 25 years, hall of fame pretty bogus

He was never near to pippen tho

penny six seasons in orlando, per game - 18.4 pts, 6.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 turnoverspip twelve seasons in chicago, per game - 17.7 pts, 5.3 assists, 6.7 rebounds, 2.8 turnovers

Do knee problems count as leg injuries? bc if so you'd have to cout like 3/4 of the guys who ever had injury problems. If not throw Sabas off of matt's list.
― Clay, Friday, 27 March 2015 21:45 (nine years ago) link
Pippen is probably the greatest perimeter defender ever.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 27 March 2015 21:47 (nine years ago) link
i wouldn't argue that too vigorously and why i said "near to pippen" and not "as good as". both of them had dominant, once in a generation players beside them of course.

5. Clark Kellogg maybe!
until a couple weeks ago i wasn't even sure that clark kellogg played in the nba! averaged 20 & 10 as a rookie but cooked at age 24.

i bet penny would've been better in modern pick and roll heavy nba

It was a Brandon Roy situation where they knew the knees would give out pretty soon when they picked him

it would be hard to operate on such tiny knees

big penny averaging 22-4-7 on 50% fg his third season in the league is p darn good its kinda hard to say why his ceiling was tho matts prob right imo that he was closer to roy than pip
