    McGrady is on there, but I think he had a pretty great career.

    I would put Tarpley on that list.

    there's no point in that list. all the guy did was list players that were seriously/chronically injured. of course their careers arent what they shouldve been.

    like someone has mentioned...whats the point in listing players who were seriously injured. its out of their control, might as well call the the list of unlucky talented players.

    They should have players who were relatively injury free but just did not live up to the hype/not using their abilities probably. Guys who should be considered are those who are incredibly athletic or gift but work ethic is questionable.

    If Chris Webber kept his body and mind on track they way he could have, he would have been at Karl Malone's level at PF.

    It didn't claim to be a "top-6 list"; it only listed 6 players. Yes, there are definitely some others who deserve mention as far as careers failing them.

    And McGrady did have a good career, but with the right work ethic, he could have been one of the best of all time.
