Marcus Camby: Did injuries rob this DPOY of a hall of fame career?

Marcus Camby: Did injuries rob this DPOY of a hall of fame career? | Forgotten Player Profiles

Marcus Camby spent the best years of his career with the Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets, before bouncing around a few more teams in the twilight of his career, but was an elite defensive presence at every stop. Coming out of UMass with huge expectations, Camby looked primed to fulfill them, but unfortunately, his body started failing him from his first year in the league and never really allowed him to reach his full potential. WHen Camby was young and healthy, he made defense exciting and his length and athleticism made for some highlight plays on the offensive end too. But even with all his injuries, Camby still made 4 all defensive teams, won a Defensive Player of the year and is 12th on the all time blocks list. It leaves one to wonder how good he could have been, if his body would let him.

Slight mistake; The Nuggets actually lost to the Clippers in the 06, playoffs, not the Lakers. That was also the year a 44 win Nuggets team finished as a higher seed than the 60 win Mavs due to division rules guaranteeing the division winner a top three seed.

@@ForgottenPlayerProfiles Really been enjoying these videos! Camby was always one of my favorite Nuggets players. Would really like to see a video done on Rony Seikaly. He was another center that if it wasn't for injuries, and better luck on the teams he was put on, may have had a bigger career.

I was in UMass when Marcus Camby was there. He was fragile. After his freshman first game, he was walking off the court. With nobody near him, he somehow tripped and injured his knee. Was out for two weeks. Kinda like what he did in Toronto in his rookie year.

I think right there with Ben Wallace and Dikembe Mutombo as best defensive big men (I'd rank him below Wallace and Mutombo). Maybe if plsying in today's game he would've contributed more offensively since the game isn't as physical as it was when Camby was in the league

Just discovered your channel n absolutely love it. U might have already done it, but Id love to see one on Antoine Walker...."Cybertoine"/"Employee number eight.... He was one if the best rising stars in the world during his time in Kentucky and with Boston. He was never a very disciplined player/athlete, and gained weight, went through a ton of money and relationships and in turn it affected his production on the court. Despite all this Walker remained in the league for quite some time, even winning a championship with Miami. Unfortunatley he ended up bankrupt and never came close to reaching his potential in the league. He had the talent and size to be a first ballot HOFamer.

Man I miss Camby's defense on the Knicks. We lost the finals in '99 but nearly every game was close as hell. If Ewing had been healthy - who knows. Because the only help Camby had was from Kurt Thomas and damn Herb Williams. A healthy but over the hill Ewing possibly would have made a difference against a healthy but over the hill Robinson. Honestly Duncan was just unstoppable in that Finals series. I think he averaged 27 and 14 for the series.
