    Yeah, Kemp constantly ran into women that didnt use contraceptives. Ask Jason Caffey, another UNLUCKY guy with the same problem. They just wanted to have sex, not babies.

    Again... Karla is mentioned because of how "close-but-no-cigar" he got... same with Kemp...

    Please the RIP Club out of the list. :(

    He's probably at a Starbucks sippin on a cinnamon dolce latte and lusting of some Macalu meat. I'm sure he considers himself very lucky.

    It seems you must "want to" in order for it to be considered "unlucky."

    NOT winner

    Hilarious one liner though. :D

    No matter how good he is or how hard he tries, he will always be hated...

    Speaking of Livingston, Reggie Miller just said during the LA/LA game

    "That's why I think it's dangerous to come out early. If you go to college, you can get your degree."

    ummm, Reggie...Livingston has a 3rd Pick Rookie Scale guaranteed contract...good thing he skipped college rather than injurying himself at Duke. Not like he doesn't have huges sums of money to got back to Duke and get his degree.

    That wasn't bad luck, it was karma.

    I'd have to give the nod to Grant Hill here. Was well on his way to becoming a GOAT candidate before his body kept breaking down.

    Luis Scola. He could have started his NBA career a lot sooner had some other team drafted him.
