Who is the best player in the league that lives on the injured list? My pick is Jamal Mashburn, who reminds me of the Sam Jackson character in Unbreakable; he picks the most inopportune times to get injured. The first round of the playoffs? Damn! The Hornets perennial elimination from the first round is a large reason why Silas got fired in New Orleans. Honorable Mention: Lamar Odom, who has the decency to have extended injuries on teams that aren't playoff contenders.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BallerAK47:</div><div class="quote_post">I'll throw Marcus Camby in there as a good player that lives on the IL</div> Yea, I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one.
Grant Hill owns it. Shaq wants to. Kenyon is starting to. Give McDyess a couple of days, he will be back. And last, but not least and I don't want to list them all, Tom Gugliotta. And don't forget Penny! Or Olowokandi!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Accord:</div><div class="quote_post">Grant Hill is without a doubt the best IL player .</div> Well of course the best IL player. I mean he is getting paid $13,279,750 to sit on the bench all year. Nobody can make that much money for as little work, except Grant Hill.
Well Iam putting C-webb on that list only because his injury in last season playoffs took away Sac-town only legit chance of winning a chip(like I really care). The Lakers were weak & I think Sacro with Webber were better than Dallas & the Spurs who played in the western conference finals. His injury came at the worst possible season. Winning the west will never be as easy as it was last season.
Yea... <div class="quote_poster">Quoting KG is the MVP:</div><div class="quote_post">"whos on the Grant Hill squad for their team again?"</div> Haha that's nice! It should be the Hill list or something... No, but back on topic...UMMM.... Vince Carter! He always gets injured. At bad times too. (Like Jamal) Even though Jamal got sick...Not injured. Also, Marcus Camby, GRANT "Emergency Room" HILL, Lamar Odom, Keyon Dooling was on there quite a while, and that's about it. I don't really think there is any other players out there that are as bad as these guys. I can't believe that they get payed for sitting at home or on the bench. I mean come on... The league should like cut their Salaries in half when they go on the IL or something.LOL. Grant Hill would be making much less money!Haha
Why would they get a pay cut for being injured? Its just like work benifits. Workmans compensation. If you get hurt on the job, you should definatly still get paid b/c it wasn't your fault.
