Which player’s prime was too short but legendary?

I have seen some players leave their marks even though they were around for a short while. Remembered athletes like Adrian Peterson and Rob Gronkowski, who did well in their sports as if there were no tomorrow and as if they've been there for a long time. . Who do you think had a prime that was too short but legendary?

Mario Lemieux. I think he was better than "The Great One" Wayne Gretzky when it comes to hockey.

Ruud Van Basten is a world classic footballer and regarded as one of the best ever played football. He is one of the greatest goal scoring footballer ever. But his career was terminated by ankle injury.

I remembered Garrett Edward, he was a rugby legend but he had an incredibly short but legendary time because of his injuries.

Abou Diaby comes to mind. The player was a defensive midfielder that possessed every skillset there was. He could read games, had excellent technical ability, had good physical ability,could pass and shoot excellently. He greatly improved the Arsenal team he played in but consistent injury problems hampered him.

I think that Babar Azam's prime was too short, but it was still quite legendary. Babar Azam is now no longer a great player as he was a few years ago. Maybe this is due to the fact that he is no longer in best of his form.

If a player is not in form, it doesn't always mean that their prime is finish forever. Babar Azam still plays good, sometimes confidence and team dynamics can affect a player. I’ve seen players look unstoppable one season, and next season, injury or pressure just weigh them down.

Well, you are right. However, once again Babar Azam failed to perform well in this t20 world cup once again and Pakistan has been eliminated from the world cup. I really hope that he comes back to form, but considering the fact that he has not been performing consistently for almost four years now, it seems like his prime years are over.
