wtf?
None of these guys have had substantial injury problems except for Brand, and even then he's had a good career. These are all solid all-star players..don't know why you're including them.

Maybe. Chris Paul does pretty well and he has had a lot of work done on his knees.
Russ' game comes primarily from his athleticism, though. He's definitely similar to Rose in that regard. Russ looks fine now, as you said, but it could have potentially more detrimental effects down the road.
ETA:
Duke homer.

I am, but I'll be the first to admit that Trajan Langdon just sucked. But the players he included are just puzzling.

The one year that Bill Walton was healthy, the Blazers won an NBA title. He's gotta be at the top of the list.

Meh. While he was very injury prone and we will never know what could have been, he still has a hall of fame caliber career. Hard to call that disappointing.

know Rose is the easy mention, but I wonder if Russell Westbrook might not make the list as well one of these days. Granted, he seems to be healthy at the moment, but the number of procedures/injuries he's had on his knee(s?) make you wonder, given his style of play.
When a guy goes out and puts up a 40/10/5/5 after his major injury, in a huge playoff game, it is very hard to put them on the list yet.

Bill Walton, Sam Bowie, Arvydas Sabonis, Greg Oden, Brandon Roy, Rudy Fernandez.

Danny Manning--incredible college career. Was never quite the same after the knee injury. Had the misfortune of being drafted by the Clippers.
I can't believe it took until the 3rd page for him. He blew out BOTH knees!

You're better off. You have Brandon Roy with knees now. Lillard is as clutch as Roy with more explosiveness.
