Ken Griffey Jr injuries robbed him. He had the genes, the drive the work ethic and the love for the game.

I have a Ken Griffey Jr story that has never been told until now. It was his rookie year and i was at the game. I dont even know how i knew who he was, but i did. He up to bat and got hit by a pitch and the ump didnt call it. Griffey is mad and lifts up his sleeve to show the big bruise on his bicep. The entire Cleveland Stadium went "AWWWWWWWWWWW."

The Very next Pitch, He Hit a Home Run.

Lamar odom deserves to be mentioned. He had a solid career but he should've done way more with his skill set. 6'10 point forward who was a good rebounder, ball handler and decent shooter he shoulda been a multiple time all star but he was content with being just aight

Don't get me started he would get a 20-20 game then the next night have 5 and 3 and foul out smh and have a one good game every 10 average
 
Marcus Lattimore before the injuries?

Reidel Anthony - was a beast @ WR at florida. Held NCAA record for most consecutive games with a TD (before Moss broke it) and set the SEC record for most TDs (18) in a season which still stands even after WRs like Julio Jones, AJ Green, Alshon Jeffrey, Percy Harvin, Randall Cobb, Amari Cooper, Mike Evans, OBJ, etc etc have come afterwards.

He just didn't have it in him for pro ball i guess. I remember he was playing for Tampa vs Green Bay and he had a wide open bomb for a TD (i think in playoffs) on national TV and dropped it.

John Madden said "he was already thinking of the dance he was going to do in the end zone". Madden was probably right because dude used to like to celebrate after he scored.

He was never the same after that drop.

Barry Sanders

He just walked away with Not a care in the world he still had a least 3-5 good years left. He would have shattered the all time rushing record, instead of that overrated emit smith

Barry Sanders didn't waste his potential. Anybody who was old enough to see him play until he retired knew he was the best running back of his era.

Emmit Smith might have the rushing record but it was for the mere fact that he held on longer and played on the Cardinals to get it.

Emmit broke the record in a cowboys uniform

Marcus Vick

So true!!

He wasn't as good a athlete as Michael but the guy was a way better passer than Mike when he was at VA Tech. He was way more accurate and didn't try to run every time he dropped back. Him having that entitled attitude is what killed this kid.

He was also banging girls that were in junior high when he was a Freshman at Virginia Tech. I mean you're a damn superstar before you even play a down for them and can pretty much have any college girl you want and you wanna cruise around the junior high for hoes. Fucking weirdo. SMH.

I still remember when we beat them in the 2005 ACC Championship Game, he talked a gang of shit before the game then sprained his ankle celebrating a TD and had to leave the game, fucking bum.

Vince Carter.

Had a chance to be one of the greats... I saw him play live when he was with the Toronto Raptors in his prime and the way he dominated in those early years was like a young Jordan or Kobe (no hyperbole).

But he had a shitty attitude... it was all about Vince and not the team. When Tracy McGrady was playing alongside Carter in Toronto, I think Vince started getting low-key jealous of McGrady getting some of the shine. When things fell apart in playoffs against the New York Knicks, a lot of people were suggesting friction between the two of them was one of the reasons McGrady wasn't brought back.

Vince Carter eventually quit on the team (Raptors) and even made leaving difficult so they couldn't even get anything worthwhile in a trade.

His dunk contest victory in 2000 was one of the greatest performances ever as was his gold medal win for the United States (remember that dunk over that French guy?) but he underwhelmed in the NBA.

Eight time NBA all-star but played with 6 different teams and never got any hardware...

To me... that is wasted potential.

Eddie Curry

Dude had the size to be dominant in the league but played like a pussy for the most part. The bum couldn't defend or rebound, he was just big for no damn reason

Gotta go w Mike vick, baseball mark pryor and basketball I wanna say McGrady but grant hill actually had the desire, mentality and right attitude to be a future hall of famer. Crazy how if things had worked out they could both b looked at different in ball circles as far as winning is concerned

Speaking of FSU QB's, fucking Xavier Lee he came off the bench and beat Alabama in Saban's first year and then washed out with the quickness. He seemingly had all the tools too. Adrian McPherson also, at least he's paid though he won like a $5 million lawsuit from the Titans from getting ran over by their mascot while he was driving a golf cart.

Xavier, to be kind wasn't the brightest candle on the birthday cake. He didn't know his playbook(s) and he couldn't read a defense for shit!

I totally forgot about that golf cart accident w/ Adrian. Lmao!!!
