Talking only about physical nature and ability, and assuming that you’re making a list as opposed to the toughest one player of all time, I would add Karl Malone to your above list. I’m not talking about mentally or anything like that.

Bird McCale Russell all toughs SOBs. Bowie was tough? Can’t remember him playing

Ya know what?, Sam Bowie 100% without a doubt.

He has to be the toughest son of bitch out there knowing he was drafted before Jordan and was a failure, to live with that is tough

James Johnson

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Ron arrest. Returning 9 days after tearing his ACL is unreal.

 

[thunderc]

Haven’t seen him mentioned yet but Rick Mahorn wasn’t to be messed with. As for Adams, I don’t think anyone mentioned would want any part of him, but he doesn’t have the nasty streak you have to have for this award.

Ben Simmons

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Javaris Crittenton
Jayson Williams

Isiah Thomas got hit in the face by Karl Malone's elbow and had 42 stitches put in. He missed 2 games.

Players today miss 2 games to rest because it's too hard.
