Who is the Best Athlete To Have Career Cut Short By Injuries?
Penny Hardaway in his prime was perhaps the athlete that I liked and enjoyed watching the most. On the other hand, Bo Jackson was a pure beast. The guy was huge in statue with crazy speed for his size. He could run over you or by you. Furthermore, he successfully played baseball and football at high level. So, in the end I have to give it to Bo Jackson. It's a shame he isn't in some pro Hall of Fame.
I would agree with Bo Jackson.
Is there any reason to continue this topic anymore. there are only 3 guys that fall into this category, and the top 3 in order are...
1- Bo Jackson
2- Bo Jackson
3- Bo Jackson
Another point, is Jackson in the hall of fame? What about Theisman?
They were saying Holliday on the Cardinals who was recruited by Oklahoma as a QB I believe was throwin 50 yard ropes the other day with a football. There are alot of athletes that were better than Bo Negro that chose only to play one sport. This question is far from being awnsered Nicky
Tony Conigliaro is #1

he holds the MLB record for most home runs (25) hit by a teenaged player. He is the 2nd youngest player to hit his 100th homer (after Mel Ott in 1931).Originally Posted by rake922

Rake I did not know that. Good shit
Had never heard of him just looked it up. I like the fact that you introduced me to him but I don't think he can win this category.
Was his career derailed by injury or alcoholism?
dwight stephenson was the greatest center to ever play the game..down and out marino to bruce hardy..hardy missed ball and it was int..on the return marty lyons of the jets destroyed dwight`s knee..i was at the game
Bo Jackson's football career was cut short, but he still had a decent baseball career after the injury.
i`ll never forget when those 2 gorillas on crack snapped joes leg like a chicken bone
i believe it was harry carson and LT
i still have the action sports magazine with tony`s eye all black and blue on the cover
Is that what happened to his career?
Yes..his career ended on a monday night football game when he was sacked by 2 NYG..they snapped his leg in two..joe was drafted by don shula of the dolphins but when he opted to go CFL shula sent him to the skins for peanuts
you can youtube the injury by typing in joe thiesman
fins also sent anthony carter to the vikes for robin sendlein for the same reason after they had drafted the star michigan wr..another bad trade indeed
Hes not even close to the top of the list but how would Webber of finished up his career had he not suffered his knee injury?

Agree that he is not close to top of list but would have liked to see him healthy those last 4 or 5 years. Technology and treatments are getting better. Amare looks healthy as far as his legs and knees go.
Probably have to go with Bo as well.....
amare was like 20 tho, 6-7 years difference is huge in body structures.

Things are just getting better IMO. Technology and treatment. Penny had a ridiculous number of surgeries. Wish he would have had the benefit of the meds, doctors, and treatment that these young guys today do.
Marco van Basten in soccer
Terrell Davis should have some honorable mention here.
1st- Bo Jackson- enough said
2nd- Jay Williams-Bobby Hurley- curse of Duke Point guards you either end up crippled or playing quarterback for syracuse(pualus).
3rd- Davey Allison- nascar driver would have had 10 championships if not for death.
4th- Fransisco Lirano- was a beast before he destroyed his elbow and sicne he came back has been a joke.
5th- Barbaro- Triple Crown winner prolly.
Len Bias .. If he didn't die he would have been the next Jordan

Bo Jackson by far. The man was a beast, an all pro in football and an all star in baseball. He played some MLB after his NFL injury but he was not even close to the player he was before the injury. If the injury never happened people may very well be calling him the best athlete of all time.
mark prior .....
