Pick one athlete to have an injury free career

Griffey and Rose are good ones that are hard to argue.
My selfish pick is Colt McCoy because it would've changed the whole course of college football and UT would've been incredible when I was there with Saban as the coach.

NBA - Penny Hardaway
NFL - Bob Sanders
MLB - Since so many said Griffey already, I'll go with Nomar Garciaparra.

I could be way off on this one, but I always wondered what if Tim Couch didn't get drafted by the Browns?
Ronaldo. What he done with two near career ending injuries was spectacular. If he hadn't gotten injured he'd have broken Pele's records and been regarded as the goat.
The injury was the best thing to happen to him in the long run. He got clean, got a fresh start, and came back with a better mindset and put some others over.
Griffey Jr and Rose are the two go to choices.
Rose is a good one.
Brandon Roy is another one. His game was similar to the style played by NBA 1s now. He could've dominated in a way the game wasn't ready for.
Sandy Koufax would've gone down as the greatest pitcher ever if his elbow didn't give out.

Bo Jackson. Even though his injury reduced his speed and agility greatly he was still able to compete at the highest level in MLB. I mean just imagine the numbers he would have ended up doing in the NFL if he had played just three or four more seasons.
Koufax is a great call and disappointed that I didn't think of him.
He was still so good even when he came back to Philadelphia with bad feet.
I sometimes imagine what the team would have looked like if Forsberg wasn't included in the Lindros trade.
Andrew Luck is another good example I haven't seen mentioned. He had some sort of shoulder injury from snowboarding that appears to never have been treated properly. He also got beaten to hell behind a jank O line most of his career. All of that lead to him retiring so young.
Man, he was unbelievable. It's actually amazing to watch some of his outings now and still just be amazed at what he could do. It's hilarious seeing the video of the opposing batters just walk back to the dugout completely lost. Like they've had the soul sucked out of them
In the MMA world, Cain Velasquez and Dominick Cruz. Two top tier champion's whos primes and careers were cut in half because of their constant injuries. Both guys might have stayed champs their entire careers until the competition caught up to them.
I'm ready for all the hate but it's my opinion that PEAK DWade is > peak Kobe. Come at me.
I read the title and was thinking primarily of people going forward, so I would say Zion Williamson and Aaron Judge.
If the past, Grant Hill and Ken Griffey Jr.

Despite losing a season and a half to lock outs and parts of 2 seasons to COVID, Ovechkin is probably still going to get that Goals Record.
Derrick Rose.
It blows me away when I remember he's younger than Steph Curry. An injury free D Rose could've taken the Bulls back to the top.
