Brandon Roy won the NBA Rookie of the Year award with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2006 and was elected to the next three straight All-Star games. With the brightest future ahead of him, Roy’s body gave up, and he was out of the league by 2012.

During his short career, Roy had six knee surgeries and lost all the cartilage in his knees. He attempted a comeback, but couldn’t take the pain, failing to be as effective as he once was. Like Roy, our next athlete would have been a franchise star if his body would have let him. Can you guess who it is?
