Jamal Crawford – Chicago Bulls
During a 2003 game against the Timberwolves, Crawford was guarding the opposing player who went up for the ball. Crawford managed to land on the back of the player, roll down and land with brutal force onto his neck and the back of his head. His legs went over his head and he lay on the ground in agony. While the medics worked on him on the court floor, the entire crowd and players from both sides remained deadly quiet. Crawford is one lucky, lucky man as he was out of hospital the next day with only a sprained neck.
Jamal Lewis – Baltimore Ravens
Here’s an injury most people can’t forget, considering they watched it all unfold on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” during training camp following Baltimore’s Super Bowl run in 2000. Lewis’s devastating knee injury caused him to miss the whole of the 2001, but he did comeback, and some would say, better than ever before.
