Those were career enders back then.. Ickey Woods, Bobby Tolan just to name a few.. They might have limped around the leagues awhile, but that's about it. It's still rare for players to recover 100%, but think about the old days..we didn't have a 24 hour news cycle and instant updates of every player in all the leagues. Back then serious injuries were pretty much it for players and they went on to have careers selling cars and beating their wives..
