Vince only played one full season. He's missed 90 games in his career so far. True, it's not as many as Camby, but it's still comparable.

Vince played only 50 games his first season and 82 games only once. has played over 60 games only 3 times, the same as Camby in just one less year.
Well, Vince is getting older and more tired. I mean, he's been playin' REAL hard for the past several years. Can't blame the man if he's getting injured so much now.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post"> Vince played only 50 games his first season </div> Actually KJ, that was the lockout year...50 games was the whole season so he was right about that.... but vince is injury prone and that's a fact. The whole league knows that. It's not his fault, but its just the way he is.

HOpe he'll be back soon anyways. Not too serious. And all about the how many games he played ... its not too important now is it? The present matters the most, and that is he s very injury prone has to play careful and that we should support him although he cant be as vinsanity as before

^ The fact is he's been injured the last few years when they are suppose to be his PRIME years...that's why everyone is so hard on him...

If he misses a bunch of time this season, then id call him injury prone...but what if he plays another 2 full seasons with hardly any injury? would people still call him injury prone? absolutely not. its just because its fresh in everyones mind and two years in a row...lets see what he does this year before he gets lableld a camby or a grant hill

EVERYONE calls shaq injury prone...I'll give you some links to those threads if you want...
comparing Camby to Carter is just wrong... but if the injuries continue (which im hoping it wont), you're looking at a Penny Hardaway like career
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting notMuchgame:</div><div class="quote_post">you obviously don't read the other forums. EVERYONE calls shaq injury prone...I'll give you some links to those threads if you want...</div> your right, i dont really read the other forums...i just see lots of vince bashing going on. i still think its a little early in his career to be calling him injury prone. this is the tell-all season imsbo (in my slightyly biased opinion)
