Steve Nash – Phoenix Suns
While we might be cheating a bit by putting Steve Nash on our list, everyone can agree that his injury was what nightmares are made of. During a game in 2010, the Suns and the Pacers were having it out. Nash was defending when a drive from Earl Watson elbowed him right in the face and was sent flying back as if something non-human had just punched him. When he got back to his feet, the camera quickly zoomed in on his face, and Nash was bleeding extensively from his nose. Although he carried on smiling and smiling, all-the-while, his mouth was filled with blood.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas – Cleveland Cavaliers
Early on in his career, Ilgauskas was a rather unique and versatile skill-set player. And just like most big men, he suffered from an insane amount of foot injuries. He even missed the entire 1996-1997 season due to a broken bone in his foot. He made “comebacks” per say, to the best of his ability, which is more than most people can say.
