Terrible Career Mistakes that changed the outcome of the Player Trajectory or Impact

[Leasy]

1. Carmelo leaving Denver to go to NY (Terrible decision at the time and changed his career for the worst)
2.RG3 being a c00n and playing injured and getting injured again during Redskins playoff game
3. Kawhi leaving Toronto: Dude could of had a Lebron east run
4. T.O being greedy and leaving Eagles after 1 n half seasons. McNabb and him could of won multiple Superbowls.

Marbury leaving Minny.

Rose playing late in that Philly game


No reason for him to be in that game

shyt had multiple trajectory changes. That series win made 76ers believe they could compete and they traded Jrue/Iggy etc.. fukking the franchise up

He shouldn’t have been in the game, but Rose blames himself for that. He says why was he doing an unnecessary hop step at that point in the game?

Not as impactful but I feel that Johnathon Simmons leaving SA started a path that led to him being out of the league

Eh, the Bulls were up 12 with 1:30 left, not like it was some insurmountable lead.

Ben Gordon joining the Pistons.

Grant Hill came back too early when he played for the Pistons.
He was in a no win situation, though. As the face of the franchise, in that city, he was expected to fight through pain and injuries.
Either rushing back or poor training/medical staff in Detroit derailed his career.

Funny thing was , the Bad Boy era Pistons got so much air time in their heyday, that their team trainer was semi-famous.

I feel that if Vick doesn't have the dog scandal he would have been in the hall of fame.

Ben Gordon joining the Pistons.

No. In that era, a 10+ point lead with under 2 minutes to go is safe 99% of the time.

Kawhi leaving Toronto changed the trajectory of the NBA. He probably would've repeated if he had stayed, and they definitely would be in playoff contention as a high-ranking seed this year.

 

[El Guapo]

Mo Lewis going hard on that hit to Drew Bledsoe. If he lets Drew just run of bounds, does Brady even see the field in the next few years?

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Adrien Broner staying at 147 lbs and fighting Marcos Maidana. Dude should've won the belt from Paulie, dropped it and went back down to 140. He fought Maidana caught a beatdown and was never the same since
