Joel Embiid is like a lot of NBA superstars before him - routinely competing for MVPs and championships. The difference is injuries almost ended his career before it started. No player has ever dealt with injuries to the extent of Embiid's and come out on the other side...better? We look at others who have tried and failed like Greg Oden, Brandon Roy, Yao Ming, Tracy Mcgrady, Derrick Rose, and Bill Walton. Have the tides shifted because of new diets and hyperbaric chambers or is Embiid simply an exception to the rule?
