For everyone asking where is Paul George... He definitely made an awesome come back from injury this year. But he's only played ONE season after his injury. I just want to see a few more seasons out of him.
+Tyler Kalloo I didn't read what he said in the description either. it said he's not putting pg on the list bc this was only one season and he doesn't know if pg will be at this lvl of play down the road of his career
What about Wilt Chamberlain? He broke six bones in his right (and shooting) hand in Game 4 of the 1972 NBA Finals. What does he do? He comes out the next game with his hand wrapped in huge padding like an offensive lineman, and instead of just doing a little bit at the start of the game to inspire his team, he puts his team on his back, putting up 24 points, 29 rebounds, 8 assists, and 8 blocks while also holding Hall of Fame big man Jerry Lucas to a mere 14 points en route to winning the title in 5 games and Finals MVP
not a warriors fan but I'm a Livingston fan. played with him my freshman year before he transferred. one hell of a dude and a hell of a player. so happy he got a ring.
Marco Polo same. I had an injury similar but less serious. I wrote a story about it in the comments. I came back from an INSANE INJURY. I have so much respect for the guy.
Google it. Its confirmed that he partially tore his MCL. The wheelchair was probably overkill but he played an NBA Finals serious with a serious injury.
You are so confused. Why post shit when you know noting about what you are talking now about? It just makes you look dumb and ignorant. I'm sure you are but at least try to cover it up a little
Yo Mike, why did you pick that Pierce injury fam? Pierce got stabbed 11 times in 2000 a month before the 00-01 season started. He was the only player on the Celtics to play all 82 games that season. He dropped 25-7-3 for the year.
I thought for sure that's what he was referencing when he said Paul Pierce. I'm a Celtics fan and love Pierce but I still make fun of that wheelchair stunt
+kopkl1 he got his career high..? and LEAD his team, not to mention BY HIMSELF. to the playoffs. do you not realize doctors were saying his career was over? and he even said HIMSELF that he NEARLY QUIT basketball. didn't comeback yet.. wtf? he averaged the most points in the payoffs 15-16 and only played one damn series? hasn't comeback yet? i agree he wasn't 100. still to play that great? compound fracture in your lower leg? THEN play on the USA Olympic team?? okay bud,, hasn't comeback yet. who's on the cover of 2K17? hmm? thats what i thought.
Recently i had a rib injury I came back to team for 1 week,it felt like someone was stabbing me I barely could move my right hand and i did breath with isues,i kept trying and trying and now im back on the court I still have huge respect for every sports player that gets injured and comes back
+pendejito 321 bruuh... his injury was nothing.. try to snapped your leg and let's see if you can walk.. let alone dunk. what a joke for human being you are.. hahahaa
I love your videos man but let's be real, Pierce didn't get fucking injured LOL. Nigga has to be wheeled off in a wheelchair to return like ten minutes later.
no, i dont, but i think it was a weird choice to say both that the doctors told him and no one told him that in the same breath. I am fully aware that it is a figure of speech. thanks for the heads up man.
+Zapdite lol, yeah I get it...I just thought your statement sounded odd in the same way you thought the point in the video sounded odd. That's all, I'm not literally questioning your understanding, just like it wasn't literal that "nobody told him".
Thanks for all of your posts. You're a true NBA connoisseur. I base horrible injuries on not just the definition of damage but, most importantly, the loss of career time associated with an injury. Grant Hill is a really good guy and some youngsters may not know that he basically put his career on the line for the Pistons. There is no doubt in my mind that the team doctors stood by and let Hill destroy his ankle. He says they did and I think, if memory serves, he sued the team and won. The continued pounding on a broken ankle did a lot of damage. My sense is that, if was pulled as he should have been, his ankle might have healed well instead of ballooning into a career-defining nightmare. Things got even worse when Hill almost freaking died because of streptococcus caught while in the hospital for an ankle surgery. I don't put much into Pierce's injury. It was impressive that he came back and played with a partially torn MCL but it defined a Series more than his career. Jordan's injury "just" excluded one year of greatness and allowed for an unforgettable performance vs. Boston. I'm too young to know much about B. King but, as you said, ACL tears in the 80's were career-enders. Westbrook is a good call! It's hard for me to believe that he's still so explosive after a meniscus tear. Those, for an athlete, are horrific. If you're over 35, a surgeon will simply cut out the torn piece and you're good in a a month or less. If you're young or an athlete, a surgeon has to stitch/staple reinforce the entire ligament and it's a nightmare. I had the plus 35 surgery, at 37, and it's been a big problem for 11 mos. Clearly, Westbrook has dealt with the injury better than Rose did. Livingston's comeback is still a miracle. I saw that injury on live TV in LA with some friends and we were all just speechless because we all thought a promising career was just wiped out in a flicker of time. The injury, itself, was stomach-churningly awful. There's not doubt the injury defined Livingston's career. He could have been a "Magic-like" big PG but, instead, he's been a NBA journeyman. I'm so happy to see that he found a home with GS. He's still a monster to handle because he can shoot over almost any guard in the League. Thanks again for the clip.
I had a torn ACL and a leg fracture AND a torn meniscus at the same time. I missed basketball for a month. When I returned, every person was in an uproar I have very great respect for these guys
+Lennart Rentzow sry for my ignorance but you have school during the summer in Germany? I used to live in Brazil and we'd have school around this time of year too, I think.
Sam G. Nope that would be Panthers :) look on a map genius Warriors are closest to Seattle, well exept for Portland but Im a dumbass and when i was little didnt know that was a team (yes i was little in 2012)
Jordan's injury wasn't career threatening, neither was Pierce's...you didn't even mention an injury for Westbrook, just surgeries. This list lacks any type of criteria, either objective or subjective, and generally lacks direction...the title and overall tone imply that we're looking at guys who came back and extended their careers after career threatening injuries...some of them match that, other are just great players who once got hurt, or played hurt. You can't say D Rose never came back if you're gonna say Grant Hill did...overall still a decent video, but I'd like to see some criteria or at least consistency.
The only one that actually fits the list is Shaun Livingston. Nearly had to get his leg from the knee down amputated. Tore everything in his knee that you need for it to work properly and dislocated it. Now he plays a pivotal role on an amazing team.
+Christine Braga yeah, that was bad and he's contributing in big moments. You could probably put Grant Hill and and Bernard King in that category too, and a lot of other guys that didn't make the list. This seems basically like a list of players who were once injured, which isn't what the title says or implies. It's still an ok video for people who forgot or never knew these stories...but that context tho.
+Tree Corleone I agree. I didn't know the stories about the others in this video. The only one I knew was about Livingston but then again I'm a fan of the Warriors and you hear that story pretty often. It's nice to learn something everyday tho.
+Layton Ladd I agree. I had read that Mike said he didn't add PG because he has only played a year after his injury. He also mentioned he wants to see a little more out of PG.
The evidence wouldn't be there so it would be pure speculation. We could sit here and speculate that MJ retired during the "steroids era" in baseball, went to play baseball and came back looking like Barry Bonds, all of a sudden possessing an unstoppable fadeaway, which requires incredible upper body strength...but there's no evidence (btw more mlb players used steroids in the 70s than 90s). Steroids also wouldn't be of primary concern in basketball since it requires more of a balance of slow and fast twitch muscle, due to all the running (that's why few players look muscular)...if anything I'd look at amphetamines. In the mid-late 90s you couldn't go to any store and not see stacker 2 or other ephedra pills by the register, it was incredibly common among high school and college athletes. Many people could tell you that it would enhance your quickness, alertness, and even add a couple of inches to your vertical...I'd put money on it being the performance enhancer of choice in the NBA
Steroids arn´t only used to build muscles. Players could and probably are using it to stay lean and recover faster from games and injuries. And NBA players are payed for their performances. Why wouldn´t they take something on the side just to maybe get one million extra on that contract. I just find it interesting that you never hear about some player using steroids. And if anyone could find some dirt on this subject it would be Mike
+Oats He did though. He tore his Achilles and then never had any other major injury there. He tore his shoulder's rotator cuff and had a knee injury but nothing in the Achilles. He came back from that, but he kept getting injured, elsewhere.
+Jorge Anta it's not how bad the injury was dumbass, it's how good the return was. PG returned from a likely career ending injury to become a top 10 player, curry returned from a severe ankle injury to become a two time MVP, Thomas had a terrible injury and had the greatest quarter ever. All of these are better than Pierce and probably more on the list
Bob Jones butt heart Celtics fan or nah... Nigga came back in the same game... Was it a injury or crybaby couldn't take a loss.. He also came back when his team tied the game
I see what you mean but the man injured ALL the major stuff you need in a knee, and doctors said he might be needed to be amputated, doctors even said he might have his knee cut off! Despite not being a star, he always helps to contribute for the Warriors even with basically one knee. But like i said before, i get your point.
He came back from arguably the worst injury in NBA HISTORY and is now playing a pivotal role on a historic Warriors team, not to mention he has a ring. Seems worthy of #1 to me
+jrock14w Not like he picked up what Curry laid down when he got injured against the Rockets and I mean, it's not like he helped halfway through the series against Portland. But that's none of my business. ☕️🐸
The thing about Shaun Livingston's injury is the fact that it wasn't just season ending or career ending, it ruined his entire leg and could have changed his entire life. Tearing just about everything in your knee and dislocating it from it's socket. Sure he wasn't a star player like everybody else on the list, but it was probably the hardest comeback after a gruesome injury.
Watching a lot of Celtics growing up, I was so happy when Paul Pierce spent his final years with the Clippers. He was so underrated with them, though... 2k16 only has him as a 76 overall
For everyone asking where is Paul George... He definitely made an awesome come back from injury this year. But he's only played ONE season after his injury. I just want to see a few more seasons out of him.
Very true
That is a 100%legit reason
Agreed
You put paul pierce on here for barley playing
true but hes clearly back. that injury is officially a thing of the past
"Doctors told Bernard King his playing days were behind him" few moments later "but nobody told Bernard King that"

time tf out where's paul george? he broke his leg and had the best season of his whole career
lol nvm didn't read the comments hahahaha
+Tyler Kalloo I didn't read what he said in the description either. it said he's not putting pg on the list bc this was only one season and he doesn't know if pg will be at this lvl of play down the road of his career
he isnt on here cause he getting better still
He broke his leg, that isn't as big as how it sounds. It's easier to come back from a broken leg than it is to come back from a torn ligament.
Traellis Miller breaking his leg like that he'd have to relearn to use it
DOMINIQUE WILKINS ? TORN Achilles.... Came Back And Averaged 29.9 Pts...
westbrook came back after his heart injury when Durant left okc
lol
😹😂
LMFAO
Keep your ring
Bruh😂😂😂
What about Wilt Chamberlain? He broke six bones in his right (and shooting) hand in Game 4 of the 1972 NBA Finals. What does he do? He comes out the next game with his hand wrapped in huge padding like an offensive lineman, and instead of just doing a little bit at the start of the game to inspire his team, he puts his team on his back, putting up 24 points, 29 rebounds, 8 assists, and 8 blocks while also holding Hall of Fame big man Jerry Lucas to a mere 14 points en route to winning the title in 5 games and Finals MVP
Kyrie Irving came back from a broken heart to win the finals for the Cavs.

Well it's not really an injurie, its more of a disease
a fuckin issue with the lungs is life threatening.
not a warriors fan but I'm a Livingston fan. played with him my freshman year before he transferred. one hell of a dude and a hell of a player. so happy he got a ring.
Marco Polo same. I had an injury similar but less serious. I wrote a story about it in the comments. I came back from an INSANE INJURY. I have so much respect for the guy.
Marco Polo
Now he's got 2 and looks to be the new 6th man on that Warriors squad when Iggy falls off the charts.
Livingston had the "WORST" Injury of ALL TIME. I got a lot of Respect for him to be able to get back
You didn't even have to say all that. Who cares if your not a warriors fan.
@@frotedflake4054 just like you didn't have to reply to my comment right?
LMFAO were you serious about pierce?! he clearly faked it
yea but its funny as shit
Google it. Its confirmed that he partially tore his MCL. The wheelchair was probably overkill but he played an NBA Finals serious with a serious injury.
You are so confused. Why post shit when you know noting about what you are talking now about? It just makes you look dumb and ignorant. I'm sure you are but at least try to cover it up a little
Nothing* you dumbass.... It just makes you look dumb and ignorant. I'm sure you are but at least try to cover it up a little

Where is Lebron coming back from those deadly Cramps?

+Ayesha Curry Lol L
💀💀
I know its a joke but cramps are awful and you can't even walk on it most of the time
How was Paul Pierce's injury a serious injury if he wasn't sidelined for a long time?
idk
He tore part of his MCL
Well he was playing with a tore MCL during the Finals
+Tanner Tortorella it was only partially torn
Warden Freeman still torn if we partially we probably wouldn't be able to walk so its impressive that he was still able to play
Thank god your channel blew up I was starting to feel like your the Damian lillard of UA-cam

Yo Mike, why did you pick that Pierce injury fam?
Pierce got stabbed 11 times in 2000 a month before the 00-01 season started.
He was the only player on the Celtics to play all 82 games that season. He dropped 25-7-3 for the year.
I thought for sure that's what he was referencing when he said Paul Pierce. I'm a Celtics fan and love Pierce but I still make fun of that wheelchair stunt
Where is Paul George?
I know when I heard Pierce I definetly thought it was about the stabbings. He almost died and to have mejor surgery.
I know a lot of celtics fans who still cringe when they see the wheel chair video because it looked so stupid and it looked like he was faking.
he should have put pg13 on there
Do a video about Tim Duncan please
yeah
^^^
Yeah I'd love a Duncan video
yes!!
This
Paul Pierce......really??? Didn't even miss time
Exactly
Yeah, he definely just trolled his injury
he got stabbed 11 times and almost died. he should've put that explanation not the wheelchair
Nets 4life agreed
Not so Wealthy Gamer he admitted he needed to use the bathroom
Now Derrick rose should be on this list
What about when Kobe tore a ligament in his right pinkie finger and still managed to play through it.
Bruh 😂😂
Lmao just like saying when James harden shot 2 free throws on 1 foot cuz he hurt it
Achilles was bad tbh
I hope derrick rose comes back but i don't think he will.. He looks scared when he plays now.. Too afraid to get hurt
True but he's getting better
russel would be just like derrick rose if he suffered multiple injuries consistently
*****
Yeah, this makes me scared to pursue an Nba Career
*****
Thanks
Well, before he played like he was invencible. Time to whatch some steve nash footage.
Derrick rose and Paul George not being on here is disrespectful but I never knew Livingston had that bad of an injury respect
Derrick Rose hasn't come back... Yet I can see the msg boosting him.
PG hasn't come back yet either. He's played a season. Albeit a good season. But it was only one.
Yea at least Paul George
+kopkl1 he got his career high..? and LEAD his team, not to mention BY HIMSELF. to the playoffs. do you not realize doctors were saying his career was over? and he even said HIMSELF that he NEARLY QUIT basketball. didn't comeback yet.. wtf? he averaged the most points in the payoffs 15-16 and only played one damn series? hasn't comeback yet? i agree he wasn't 100. still to play that great? compound fracture in your lower leg?

I love your videos man but let's be real, Pierce didn't get fucking injured LOL. Nigga has to be wheeled off in a wheelchair to return like ten minutes later.

no, i dont, but i think it was a weird choice to say both that the doctors told him and no one told him that in the same breath. I am fully aware that it is a figure of speech. thanks for the heads up man.

#Sarcasm
1. What about Paul George?
2. You should have used Paul Pierce's stabbing instead.
3. You should have said Isiah Thomas foot injury vs the Lakers.
YTG he's only doing in court
No offense but it feels like the same players are in every list like you should have added paul george for his injury but i still liked the video.
Everyone is thinking where is pg13
Not just MJ
Pgs injury was brutal yet he played like a beast big recovery
I don't think that Paul George has played enough after his recovery that's probably why he didn't add him
yea 90% of this channel is about Willis reed I'm unsubbing
Where is Paul George!?!
Shaun Livingston tore his ACL,PCL,MCL, CCL, BCL,DCL,DLC,HDL and his knee got jacked....

i hope so 😐😐😐😐
+Pinto Squanto yah
Pierce didn’t come back from injuries, he just pooped on himself
why do I love your videos ? cause your voice makes it amazing 😂anyone could make these videos but they way you talk makes it so entertaining.
Should've put Paul George on the list
Yeah he came back with major fire in the league and even got the cover for 2k17
Yeah I agree
Could you do a what if video on if the Knicks never released Bernard King?
yes
+It's Nick true but it would be a cool video
+It's Nick nah they know he a amethyst in 2k
do a video on why Tim Duncan is the greatest power forward of all time.
+It's Nick he's a PF ya dumb fuck😂
+Andres Perdomo he played center part of the season
hes a power forward wtf.
hes a pf
because of lamarcus
I had a torn ACL and a leg fracture AND a torn meniscus at the same time. I missed basketball for a month. When I returned, every person was in an uproar I have very great respect for these guys
vid hasnt started but pg13 better be here lol
YOU YELLING ME I JUST SAW PAUL PIERCE IN THIS LIST BUT NOT PG13
+Mohammed khalaf really? then why the hell am I watching?
i heard paul and was like he boutta say it then he said peirce
I came in here expecting PG13 to be the #1
He hasnt been in the league long enough since the injury
Having to use the bathroom is an injury.
Sadly Yao didn't make it from his injury :(
rip China man
He was one of my favorites 😭
Yao Ming is highly overrated, the only reason he made the allstar team is because of all the Asians. #facts
Paul Pierce wasn't injured that game. He pooped his pants.
Why is Paul Piece on here? Smh Mike he should have been nominated for an Oscar due to his performance in the '08 Finals.
Google it. He actually tore his MCL. Sure, the wheel chair was a little over dramatic but he was still playing with a major injury.
I still believe that Paul George should be on this list instead of him.
+SwaggyBling dramatic is when LeBron had to be assisted off the court when he broke his nose
+SwaggyBling it was a partial tear and it obviously wasn't that bad cause he played the whole series
I wanna see you play or hell even walk with a partial MCL tear.
Derrick Rose? He suffered worst than Westbrook, Acl tear 2 Meniscus tears and still one of the most athletic guards in history
Not anymore
Clearly you haven't seen any of Derricks games for the last 2 seasons
hasnt played any
Tyler McGee He hasn't been very good. If he was good the Bulls wouldnt have traded him since they don't ave any other PG's
Bruhhh 😂😂
That shaun livingston injury had me cringed

Damn
He explained in the comments that he wants to see more from PG13 (in terms of years). Give it time, and he might update this list.
Torn ligaments worst than broken bones. But yes I would've replaced him with MJ just because the greater impact it had on PG to recover.
Hes on the cover of 2k17 and hes not on it
Fernie Lines Mike will update this list if PG13 continues to play at a high level for the next few years.
who needs Pierce when you have Scalabrine
I miss the Warriors when we where complimented and not all called bandwagons

Sam G. Nope that would be Panthers :) look on a map genius Warriors are closest to Seattle, well exept for Portland but Im a dumbass and when i was little didnt know that was a team (yes i was little in 2012)
Almost at 300,000 subs nice job Mike
Jordan's injury wasn't career threatening, neither was Pierce's...you didn't even mention an injury for Westbrook, just surgeries. This list lacks any type of criteria, either objective or subjective, and generally lacks direction...the title and overall tone imply that we're looking at guys who came back and extended their careers after career threatening injuries...some of them match that, other are just great players who once got hurt, or played hurt. You can't say D Rose never came back if you're gonna say Grant Hill did...overall still a decent video, but I'd like to see some criteria or at least consistency.
The only one that actually fits the list is Shaun Livingston. Nearly had to get his leg from the knee down amputated. Tore everything in his knee that you need for it to work properly and dislocated it. Now he plays a pivotal role on an amazing team.
+Christine Braga yeah, that was bad and he's contributing in big moments. You could probably put Grant Hill and and Bernard King in that category too, and a lot of other guys that didn't make the list. This seems basically like a list of players who were once injured, which isn't what the title says or implies. It's still an ok video for people who forgot or never knew these stories...but that context tho.
+Tree Corleone I agree. I didn't know the stories about the others in this video. The only one I knew was about Livingston but then again I'm a fan of the Warriors and you hear that story pretty often. It's nice to learn something everyday tho.
+Christine Braga 100% agree I think Paul George should have been there instead of Westbrook
+Layton Ladd I agree. I had read that Mike said he didn't add PG because he has only played a year after his injury. He also mentioned he wants to see a little more out of PG.
Did u forget about Paul George? Or do u just think that his injury wasn't worse than these guys injures
Yeah if Paul pierce made this shit then Paul George should have
+TExclusiveHD exactly
+TExclusiveHD maybes it's because he was injured in the USA showcase
+Joel mills Paul George got better what are you talking about.
+Joel mills Paul George came back and had his best season
Shaun better be in here.
Yes he's in here
+Jason Romero that was insane
But he wasn't a star, isn't a star, and never will be one. This list is retarded.
+Ian Ayers he was a great prospect tho, was probably going to be an AllStar at least once in his career
Ian Ayers is somebody mad that PG13 didn't make the list? Read Mike Korzemba's comment.
Sean the 🐐 of injuries
notification gang
right here my man
Tru
Gang gang
right here
Gang gang gang
he should have put Isaiah Thomas on here from the pistons
omg ikr
Dom-B Who do u not put Thomas on this list He did more and was able to play injury like a boss
the Beef 123 exactly
Dom-B omg yeah I remember that
The old one on the pistons is Isiah not Isaiah who is the one who plays on celtics (or now the cavs)
Paul Pierce shit was fake
Lakers Nation still should be on this list not cause of the wheelchair though
Lakers Nation true he was faking
Lakers Nation but your a lakers fan
But Paul Pierce Getting Stabbed 11 Times Isn't
Lakers Nation how?
I'm new to this channel and it has quickly became one of my favorites keep it up man
Hey Mike!
Can you make a video about steroid use in the NBA? Thanks
That would be a great video
let's talk about NFL first *grabs popcorn*
Just like any other professional sport; it's extremely prevalent.
The evidence wouldn't be there so it would be pure speculation. We could sit here and speculate that MJ retired during the "steroids era" in baseball, went to play baseball and came back looking like Barry Bonds, all of a sudden possessing an unstoppable fadeaway, which requires incredible upper body strength...but there's no evidence (btw more mlb players used steroids in the 70s than 90s). Steroids also wouldn't be of primary concern in basketball since it requires more of a balance of slow and fast twitch muscle, due to all the running (that's why few players look muscular)...if anything I'd look at amphetamines. In the mid-late 90s you couldn't go to any store and not see stacker 2 or other ephedra pills by the register, it was incredibly common among high school and college athletes. Many people could tell you that it would enhance your quickness, alertness, and even add a couple of inches to your vertical...I'd put money on it being the performance enhancer of choice in the NBA
Steroids arn´t only used to build muscles. Players could and probably are using it to stay lean and recover faster from games and injuries. And NBA players are payed for their performances. Why wouldn´t they take something on the side just to maybe get one million extra on that contract.
I just find it interesting that you never hear about some player using steroids. And if anyone could find some dirt on this subject it would be Mike
dude u could get a job on nba tv you'll make a great commentator ;)
Derrick rose did come back he averaged 17 points how is that bad?
He use to to average 26 though and it explosive yet effortless. He's turning into a Kenny Anderson / Rod Strickland to close out his career.
Go back to there former greatness rose hasn't even come close to how good he was
He will come back in New York MARK MY WORDS.
+FCBarcelonaHighlights I hope so dude!! #KnicksNATION
İyiymiş Bu
I like the cavs but I hope he does better.And I am not a bandwagon I'm from Ohio lol.
honestly, this video really gave me hope and confidence, im about 5 months into rehab after surgery from tearing my acl and meniscus
talk into the mic the volume is so low
then turn it up
+clay “claymaker” plane BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
clay plane i have it on max
same
Then get a new device. I can here Mike clearly with the volume not even halfway
No Paul George? No Kobe? C'mon
He explained his reasons for why he excluded PG13 in the comments. Kobe, yeah, there's no excuse. He should have been on this list.
Kobe didn't come back from that injury tho
+Oats He did though. He tore his Achilles and then never had any other major injury there. He tore his shoulder's rotator cuff and had a knee injury but nothing in the Achilles. He came back from that, but he kept getting injured, elsewhere.
Isaiah Thomas game 6 in the finals!!!
1988
If he put pierce on the list isiah should have been on it
+Derek Moore he should of
I like your profile picture, and your name
Little Isaiah hasn't been in the finals?
I was LITERALLY saying Derrick Rose in my head while the video was loading...
Paul George? Steph Curry? Isiaih Thomas?
steph curry injury wasn't as bad as these and Isaiah Thomas? didn't he retire after his achilles
+Jorge Anta I agree
+Jorge Anta i'm pretty sure he's talking about isiah's finals game vs lakers
+felipe araos it was a sprained ankle doe it's nowhere near bad as the injuries in this list PG I understand but not Thomas
+Jorge Anta it's not how bad the injury was dumbass, it's how good the return was. PG returned from a likely career ending injury to become a top 10 player, curry returned from a severe ankle injury to become a two time MVP, Thomas had a terrible injury and had the greatest quarter ever. All of these are better than Pierce and probably more on the list
Paul george?
Where's pg13 she
Wow, didn't know that about Shaun Livingston. That was a gruesome injury he sustained. Thanks for the video.
This video is a Joke not having rose or George in it
Rose never came back
+EddieHoff38 YET. He never came back, YET!
+EddieHoff38 Did you watch the NBA last season?
did you even read what mike commented about not having PG in the list
crazy boy xx
The Pierce one was fake
And he's wack
bruh gtfo
Bob Jones butt heart Celtics fan or nah... Nigga came back in the same game... Was it a injury or crybaby couldn't take a loss.. He also came back when his team tied the game
And he came out looking better than he did before he got "injured"
+Martez Johnson when he got injured he was losing by 2 points genius.
i really love your vids man u put hard work into them and i hope ur channel blows up caus u deserve more
No disrespect but Why put Shaun Livingston on this list if he's not even a star? Should've put Paul George on top instead.
I see what you mean but the man injured ALL the major stuff you need in a knee, and doctors said he might be needed to be amputated, doctors even said he might have his knee cut off! Despite not being a star, he always helps to contribute for the Warriors even with basically one knee. But like i said before, i get your point.
He came back from arguably the worst injury in NBA HISTORY and is now playing a pivotal role on a historic Warriors team, not to mention he has a ring. Seems worthy of #1 to me
+jj daniels rings aren't important for players like him who benefit from the great players around him
+jrock14w Not like he picked up what Curry laid down when he got injured against the Rockets and I mean, it's not like he helped halfway through the series against Portland. But that's none of my business. ☕️🐸
+Tyler Orsini the warriors are a great team, you could put most pgs in curry's spot and they're still a playoff/championship team. Even more so now
I fee like Paul gorge should be here
Yea
PG hasn't come back yet. He's played a season. Albeit a good season. But it was only one.
Yes
+kopkl1 yeah but it was probably the best season of his career and also if that Paul pirece "injury" is in here pg's should have
i love all your vids bro!! dont ever stop!! what is the name of that instrumental you use in the backround of all your vids???
When you played that clip of Livingston, I almost crapped myself!
The thing about Shaun Livingston's injury is the fact that it wasn't just season ending or career ending, it ruined his entire leg and could have changed his entire life. Tearing just about everything in your knee and dislocating it from it's socket. Sure he wasn't a star player like everybody else on the list, but it was probably the hardest comeback after a gruesome injury.
Watching a lot of Celtics growing up, I was so happy when Paul Pierce spent his final years with the Clippers. He was so underrated with them, though... 2k16 only has him as a 76 overall
I got mad respect for Shaun Livingston...straight trooper man.
I never get grossed out by injuries but, that Livingston one got me
Here's an idea bro, what if Shaq never left Orlando, Penny didn't get hurt, and they were still there when Mcgrady and Hill arrived..
