<div class="quote_poster">Quoting snailtrail83:</div><div class="quote_post">I can't believe Marcus camby hasn't been mentioned yet... He gets injured every few games. </div> If he gets injured every few games, VC gets injured every few quarters, and Webber gets injured every few plays.
As for having a lot of injuries, VC is my pick. Being injured for a long time, though, I don't think anyone can argue that it's anybody but Grant Hill. He hasn't been healthy in years.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting swearer:</div><div class="quote_post">Shaq, he's gonna get surgery on his @$$</div> oh how clever on topic...my pics are shaq, cwebb, grant, camby.
VC for the past two years. But I give the nod to Webber and Hill. I have not seen Webber play a full season...ever Hill has just never really played a full month in the past three years
Shaq has the stupidest injuries... Ow Ow my toe Ow Ow... But sorry to say Vince is the most injury prone with Hill in 2nd..
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Streetball2k3:</div><div class="quote_post">Shaq has the stupidest injuries... Ow Ow my toe Ow Ow... But sorry to say Vince is the most injury prone with Hill in 2nd..</div> i dont get this? how is vince more injury prone then camby? hes had 2 bad seasons in a 5 yr career. thats nothing compared the the amount guys like camby, hill, shaq, c webb, even penny. my theory that vince being considered one of the most injury prone ballers because it was 2 yrs in a row holds up. hes missed not even near the amount of time as some of these other guys
the jury is still out with vince, didn't he just reinjured the same quadriceps? it may end up nagging him his whole career. that being said, you are right. vince has played more games (310) in the past five seasons than webber (308), camby (226) and of course hill (171). i keep bringing the guy up, but to tie it back to another thread, camby could benefit from some steroid use.

Grant Hill. This is ridiculous. The Magic are getting screwed paying for this dude. I like how he is trying to make a comeback, but if he gets re-injuried, the best thing he can do(I think) is opt out at the end of the year. *I think he has an option*. However, the Magic didn't know that he was this injury-prone, otherwise they'd probably not give up Ben Wallace and the other people. It'd be amazing if the Magic knew what they drafted, and what they have given up. Jeez, they took Steven Hunter, Reece Gaines (who hasn't made an impact at all, probably because of no playing time), and passing on Zach Randolph. If they only knew who/what they are drafting, then they might be better. *BTW, I like the Keith Bogans kid though.* Next up, is Air Canada. He's injured soo much, but now it looks like he's been healthy *although a recent injury*. BTW, Marcus Camby can be real good when he's healthy. See this year. Isn't McDyess on the shelf for 2 years straight? *Or did he even play last year? All I know is that he is on IL, or so I think.*
dj_premium_plus, give it up, Vince has had a mad injury prone career, I am tired of you making excuses for him. He has not been healthy since his 3rd season in the league (75 there, where it started to go downhill) and has not played over 60 games since (probably lucky his first season was the strike season) 00-01 and that probably won't change this year either. So I take it you are happy with 60 games a season over the last 3? Sounds a lot like Shaq if you ask me. Ilgauskas and Hill are not injury prone, they just had really bad injuries and were rushed back which really screwed them in the long run. Hill playing on that bad ankle in the playoffs ruined his career.

lol! of course its a great post because he agrees with you, anyone who doesnt agree with you HAS to be wrong. hmm...i see what your saying though, about being "injured" rather then injury prone. take hill out of the equasion, and the rest of the players i mentioned have still missed more time then vince. what i dont get, is that im willing to concede that he IS injury prone if he has another bad year. noone else is willing to concede to what im trying to say. its not like im going off the deep end either, i kinda thought iv made some good points, with substance to back them up.
