Kind of amazed you said him.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ProStix#6 @ Jun 23 2006, 01:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>[​IMG]Allen I. most definetly.Even with all his injuries, he sets trends (arm sleeve), still plays hard as hell, and doesn't take plays off. Every time he sprains his ankle and still goes out there, it's reminiscent of Isiah Thomas against the lakers in the finals (Those were better days for Isaiah).</div>Yep... 28 different injuries throughout his NBA career... and you know what, he has had more! That picture was from three or four years ago (I believe it was 2002-03).

    Ronny Turiaf. Has the possibility of dying at any point, doctors tell him he might never be able to play again, he recovers quickly, optimists say he'll be back in 2007 at the earliest, he comes in and plays an important role for the Lakers at the end of the season less than a year after he is told he'll never play again.

    Yep AI has gotta be #1.Wade (commercial says it all) #2Kidd #3Sorry guys but I have got to give Tim Duncan some credit because he played with plantar fasciitis (severe pain in the heel of your foot) for the whole year. Also I would have to say that Ron Artest is also a very tough player, I mean he is a "Tru Warier" HAHA.[​IMG]

Even though he was at a vulneable point, he wouldn't let the bulls have his way with him and force him to take a DNA test. He ain't one of my fav players but I have to recognize.Jay Willaims- He started running in December of last year and now he's trying out for teams. I don't know why any team that needs a good starting PG wouldn't try Jay Williams. Get him and you'll get 6-9 great years out of him. (He's only 24!)

    Eddy Curry isn't a sup tough NBA player. Aside from his heartbeat slowing him down a slight bit, he didn't work any harder int he off-season, he felt no pain, and basically endured no hardship to play this year aside from medication if I'm not mistaken.

And toughest ever I mean this guy at not even 6'0 165 had so many injuries just look at that injuries chart, and that was from a few years back. Since then he had injuries also.Also I agree about Ronny Turiaf I feel for that guy. It's a good story how he is able to play now.
