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

He could have built something there like mark few did at Zaga..Shaka Art made the same mistake as well.

but me personally I’d stay & build up a mid major. I fukk with underdogs

Yeah Shaka messed up. He had it made for life.

 

[Justise M]

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?

That acl would have gone eventually. Probably the next game

Kaka going with Brazil instead of recuperating over the summer




Hazard to Madrid



CR7 to Juve

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Bill Sweeney had a 19 strikeout game in 1884. Then became a drunk who never pitched again after that season ended.

 

[MikelArteta]

Anyone mention T Mac leaving Toronto yet?

Obviously he had an amazing career but he and Vince woulda made multiple finals runs in the early 2000s east

and we got screwed because the very next year they brought in restricted FA
so instead of having tmac for 3 years we would have him for like 7 before he woulda left

Still won alot of games. They were legit contenders for a few seasons, obviously not the favorites but the team had some good pieces.

They would have been legit legit contenders if Amare is healthy. The gutted roster didn’t mean nothing , gallo and chandler were consistently hurt and Felton ended up right back on the team

The problem was Amare.

ehh

i thought it was halle berry??

yea melo trade gutted the knicks he shoulda just waited imo

the knicks team after they got melo was better than the over-achieving roleplayers they ditched for him.

hell, the current knicks team is better than that felton/chandler/fields, etc squad

 

[cartierhoe]

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

I swore this cat had next

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Isaiah Thomas should’ve never played injured.

 

[Leasy]

Kevin Durant signing to the Brooklyn Nets

Carl nicks leaving New Orleans to sign with the Bucs will forever bother me. He was arguably the best OG at the time and Saints offered him what he described as a good offer but he signed with the Bucs, had a mysterious staph infection and his career was over after one year there

 

[NormanConnors]

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.

Grant playing on the injured ankle in the first place >>

Ownership should have just shut him down regardless if/how bad he wanted to play

Medical staff was one of the best in the business

 

[mvp_status]

Melo wouldn't have won anything playing in the stacked western conference.

Maybe. But at least his jersey would've been hanging in the rafters when he retired, had he stayed in Denver through his prime

Now #15 will be hanging from the ceiling, but with a different name on it

Same thing happened with another former Pro Bowl Saints Offensive Guard: LeCharles Bentley.

Left the Saints to go play for his hometown team, the Browns, suffered a mysterious staph infection there, and never played an official down of NFL football again @smitty22
