Antonio McDyess: # of Games Per Season: 1. 76 2. 74 3. 81 4. 50* 5. 81 6. 70 7. 10 *lockout season Injury Prone? NO. -------------------- Grant Hill: # of Games Per Season: 1. 70 2. 80 3. 80 4. 81 5. 50* 6. 74 7. 4 8. 14 IMO, the jurys still out. He's never been hurt up until couple seasons ago - and it could just be a fluke. He had a premature come back from his ankle and it cost him - doesn't mean hes injury prone. Injury Prone? Undecided. ----------------------- I find it funny how if a player gets a serious injury one year, "hell no I don't want him, hes injury prone." Give me a break guys, I assume we should trade MoT now since he's injury prone.. And for the record, Glen Rice is NOT injury prone. He missed this season because of surgery and his only other ridden season was the lockout, which doesn't say much.. The only person IMO you guys can rightfully label as injury prone is Marcus Camby.. he hasn't had a 65 game season in his CAREER.... A strong case can be made for Penny, but he played 80 games this season. Injury prone players dont have 80-game seasons past their prime... so who knows, maybe he's just had bad luck - we'll see... Point is, it gets irritating when some of you write off McDyess as injury prone because of ONE-SEASON.. or say Glen Rice when this has been the ONLY season its happened...Grant Hill has had a terrible past 2 years.. but of course you called him injury prone before even the start of this year... this isn't directed at anyone, just stating that please atleast research before telling me "I wouldn't want McDyess and the #5, Antonio is injury prone!"
I totally agree on McDyess and I posted these same numbers in another thread. Prior to the knee injury that caused him to miss most of last year, he had played in 93%+ of the potential games. Rice has had injury problems for most of the last 3 years. The difference is he kept playing, but it really affected his performance. <i>Give me a break guys, I assume we should trade MoT now since he's injury prone.. </i> There are plenty of other reasons to trade Mo Taylor. I don't think the problem with Hill is that he's injury prone. It's the severity of the injury that he had. He's missed almost two years with the injury and now he's even saying that he'll never be the same player as he was prior to gettng hurt. McDyess, on the other hand had a pretty routine knee injury and should be fine. His wasn't even an ACL, if I remember correctly it was a partial tear of his patella tendon.
