    If it weren't for an injury (insert name here) would have been a Hall of Famer

    Can you think of anyone that could have reached his full potential and become a superstar if it weren't due to an injury? One player that comes to mind is possibly Penny Hardaway. Perhaps Grant Hill could have been as well.

      Antonio McDyess, although he is still an excellent defender and an automatic elbow shooter.

            Bernard King was the very first name that came to mind.

                    Grant Hill was the first that came to my mind.

                      Grant Hill and Bernard King would have been first ballot shoe-ins if it wasn't for the injuries.

                          Vin Baker though? Come on man. He had zero chance of being in the HOF. Mental illness or not

                              I've always liked Mcdyess's game. He was left for dead at the beginning of the decade too.
