When all your talent is based on your insane athleticism it could be troublesome if you dont develop more of your fundamentals and skills.
WB has suffered his share of on paper "career altering" injuries too. The difference is Wall seemed to have suffered far more smaller niggles that derailed his career - probably due to lack of work ethic in the work room/injury recovery. And for all of WB's faults on the court, no one has anything ever bad to say about his work ethic off the court. And obviously in Rose's case, no one told him he probably shouldn't continually land on one leg after exploding for dunks
Call it fortune, you'd be right - but I'm going a step further and saying WB doesn't get enough credit for how hard he has kept his body in shape to last this long while still having a somewhat explosive style.
