Penny Hardaway not being on this list is “BLASPHEMOUS” -Stephen A voice

[leonellangston]

Those explosive hops from D.Rose.... my oh He was a human springboard

[jonrussell]

Scott Sterling.

That legend blocked so many penalty kicks and saved so many clutch spikes in a volley ball game. Talk about versatile. I never saw him play again after those hits to the face.

[Icarus]

I respect the love you have for brandon roy. People forget how good he was when he was healthy.

[RahdaB]

Sterling be on this list no? He was a special NFL player. Also known as uncle Shay’s big bro 😆 💪🏿

[MindfulAttraction]

Wow bill walton?!? Incredible pick!!! The goat hipster baller of all time

[ivanhorton]

I’m 43 years old from Chicago Penny Hardaway had us Bulls fans terrified. He drop 50 on Jordan one game. We thought for a moment MJ days were over when the Orlando Magic defeated us in the playoffs. Penny’s game was more dominant than Shaq at that time

[benjaminsehr]

Bo Jackson would have been in the Hall of Fame for both NFL and MLB if it wasn't for the hip injury.

[scottkaralius]

Ken Griffey Junior probably would be the GOAT if he stayed healthy

[BS-ujny]

Even as a new hall of famer, what Calvin Johnson's career post retirement would have looked like will always be a "what-if" to me

[Indioprophecy]

Brandon Roy was so good before his injuries.

[TraeFittz]

Derrick Rose is Number 1 for me and biased because it’s My Era. I Saw him before his Prime going against Lebron he IS Special.

[ronhernandez]

Yao Ming should be in that list. If not for foot injuries the future HOFer would’ve terrorized the NBA more than he did. Even Shaq acknowledges his greatness

[MindfulAttraction]

I think Bill watten should have been the top list. That dude was unstoppable. That dude was the 70s version of yokich

[matrixsanders]

Having Grant Hill on this list is definitely A plus that man was dangerous during his Detroit days

[borood]

Monica Seles has to be #1. She won 8 grand slams as a teenager! She was still 19 when she got stabbed on the tennis court by a psychotic Steffi Graf fan.

[kenyonmartinjr.]

Bo Jackson was so versatile that man could’ve did it all

[pkfirealarm]

Sabonis deserves a mention. If he came into the league when he was young, he would be regarded as an NBA great.

[DaGrDepression]

Ah yes, a video with Bo Jackson and DRose. Nothing better

[sofakinhot]

What about Penny Hardaway? He was amazing as a rookie.
