Andrew Bogut – Milwaukee Bucks

Just talking about this injury causes me goosebumps but here goes. During a 2010 game against the Suns, Bucks center Andrew Bogut goes up for a dunk in the second quarter. I know, this sounds totally innocent, but here’s the thing, the second Bogut landed on the court, everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) knew it was devastating. Announcers were crying, “Oh no,” over and over, the entire stadium was filled with fans and non-fans cringing their faces in horror, and for those at home, you could clearly hear over the telecast as Bogut screamed out in heart wrenching pain. The way Andrew Bogut landed on the court caused a bone crunching break immediately, he suffered a broken hand, sprained wrist, and dislocated elbow.

Daunte Culpepper – Minnesota Vikings

Daunte Culpepper had the greatest breakout season that a quarterback could possibly ever have. In 2005, while he was with the Vikings, Culpepper suffered a horrendous knee injury during a game against the Panthers. He damaged three of four major ligaments found in the knee and was placed on IR shortly thereafter. A year later, he was drafted to the Dolphins for his attempted comeback but he simply couldn’t shake off his injury. Culpepper started a mere 24 games in his final four seasons in the league.
