There are indeed many "glass men" in the NBA. Their bodies are very fragile and may be injured by a slight collision. Especially for some stars, they are extremely talented, but they have no choice but to suffer from too many injuries. This is the case for these five players today. All of them are talented, but due to injuries, their upper limit has been seriously affected. If they can stay healthy, the league structure will change.
Davis was the perfect No. 45 in the small ball era. His height of 2.08 meters and wingspan of 2.33 meters made him very dominant in the interior. He can attack and defend, he also provides support, and he doesn't occupy the ball. He has 20+10+2 data all year round. It's a pity that his body is too fragile and he was injured for a long time again this season. Based on his talent and skills, if he can be healthy, he has great hope of entering the top five power forwards in history. Now he can only be regarded as a superstar in the current league, and he is not ranked among the top in history.
Tracy McGrady's talent is considered the strongest among the "four major shooting guards". He has the perfect forward-back swingman figure. There is confrontation, there is speed, and the skills are exquisite. The Magic's offense in 4 years is really better than and Kobe's . He could have been the same star as Kobe, but he died early due to injuries. It's just that the peak of his career was too short, which led to doubts about his entry into the Hall of Fame. All of this is the negative impact of injuries.
Griffin debuted very fiercely. At that time, he had the reputation of " white World of Warcraft ". The style of play is gorgeous and the dunks are explosive. He has been at the all-star level for a long time. Apart from his shorter wingspan, he is really outstanding, and his skills in the paint are also quite delicate. It was because of injuries that Griffin lost the athletic ability he relied on for survival. He also became a substitute for the team early and is now just a role player. Back then, he was compared to "Rain Man" Camp , but now it is definitely impossible to surpass him.
Leonard is a rare superstar who can combine offense and defense. He was also one of James 's biggest rivals back then. He led the Raptors to win the championship and won the FMVP. He proved himself. Originally, according to this script, he was expected to be the number one player in the league, but injuries made everything come to nothing. Now he basically plays one year and takes two years off, playing one game and taking five games off. His attendance rate is too low, and he is getting further and further away from the ranks of superstars.
Finally, there is Oden . This is the biggest "if" in the NBA. If he is healthy, the arrival of the small ball era may be delayed. He combines the advantages of Duncan and O'Neal . He has a balanced offense and defense and a high golf IQ. He is the cornerstone of a perfect team. It's a pity that injuries caused O'Neal to realize at most 30% of his talent before dying. He was abandoned by the league early, and now the fans have almost completely forgotten him.
