He makes Grant Hill look like Malone, and I think people are overrating how good he was before his career tanked.
You are now the third person to say this without backing it up whatsoever. Holy ****ing ****, if you guys are going to present a viewpoint then back it up with something!!!!
And as mentioned...Grant Hill came into the league with a scouting report of "injury prone." Grant Hill only once played a full season and that was in the strike shortened season. That leads me to believe that Grant Hill was extremely injury prone and would probably get injured again.
Penny, to the best of my knowledge, was never labeled as injury prone coming into the league. Penny played 3 complete seasons in his first 6 years without missing a game. Penny rushed back from an injury and further complicated it. These are things that lead me to believe that perhaps Penny wasn't injury prone but just had a bad luck situation.
Are we ever going to have an answer to this debate? Of course not. But I believe that I at least provide some solid reasoning for my side.
