11 Players Who Should've Played on One Team Their Whole Career

Close your eyes and try to picture this; Tim Duncan, one of the greatest players in basketball history. He's down in the paint, backing down a defender...while wearing a Phoenix Suns jersey. You can't do it, can you? What about an Atlanta Hawks jersey? Not that one either, right? How about anything other than a San Antonio Spurs jersey? It's impossible, isn't it? Some players have become so synonymous with certain teams that it's impossible to imagine them playing for anyone else. Just imagining Kobe Bryant or Magic Johnson not playing for the Lakers is practically out of the question, and guys like Stephen Curry have made it hard to see them any other team. Of course, for guys like Curry, playing for one team their entire career isn't the case. Sometimes they get traded away, sometimes they sign with another team, sometimes they come out of retirement, but whatever way it happens, they are moves that ended career-long runs with one team.

14 Players Excluded From NBA 2K18's All-Time Rosters

Want Kobe & Shaq paired up with Kareem & Magic? You've got it. Wanna see how a duo of Carmelo Anthony & Patrick Ewing would do. You've got it.

Well, too bad, because despite them being considered "all-time rosters" there are still players missing from those teams. Whether it be because contract issues or players being bumped for others, these 14 players' absences are very noticeable. Now, NBA 2K18 has been out for about a month now, and the all-time roster have been known for even longer, so I'm super late to this, but I thought I'd still give who I thought were the biggest omissions from the game. So let's get right into this, these are 14 players excluded from NBA 2K18's all-time ...

6 NBA Careers Ruined by Injuries

There's nothing worse than seeing a player with so much talent & potential have it taken away because they got hurt. Joel Embiid missed two years of his career after breaking the navicular bone in his right foot while we have yet to see if Ben Simmons' can succeed now that the foot injury that cost him his rookie season has healed. Some players like Paul George are able to recover from bad injuries and resume their careers as normal. However, some players end up being hounded by injuries for the rest of their careers, stopping them from reaching their potential and continuing to play at high levels consistently. Here are 6 NBA players who had their careers ruined by injuries. Derrick Rose Let's start off this list with what has to be the most infamous example among active players. In 2008, Derrick Rose was coming off a single year at the University of Memphis where he led the Tigers to a record of 38-2 ( or if you ask the NCAA, 0-1 ) and took them to the NC...
