Shaun Livingston – Los Angeles Clipper

When Shaun Livingston was playing for the Clippers, he sustained a devastating knee injury. He went up for a dunk and came down in a split, which caused his left knee to buckle and snap in the wrong direction. That night, doctors said he tore his anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, suffered collateral ligaments, and dislocated his kneecap. Whoa. If you were to listen to the replay right now, you can still hear his bellowing screams.

Sterling Sharpe – Green Bay Packers

For six incredible seasons, Sterling Sharpe tore up the field and his moves are still legendary. In 1992, Sharpe and Brett Favre became one of the top passing teams in the entire league and that same season, Sharpe was one of just seven players in NFL history to win the “Triple Crown” as a receiver position. Sadly, his career stopped short after a neck injury during the 1994 season.
