To say he has an ounce of "quit" in him shows that you're ignorant, and an as*hole.
"Back problems first emerged in the late 1980s. Lemieux had a herniated disk removed in 1990, underwent further back surgery in 1993 and suffered from a rare bone infection. Also in 1993 he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease. Returning to the Penguins on the day he completed radiation treatment, Lemieux won the NHL scoring title despite missing two months of the season. Chronic injuries persisted for the rest of his career. An irregular heartbeat, diagnosed in 2005, led to his final retirement."

Their is no arguing that Mario was a talent , any player that never worked out in the summer to stay in shape and never attended training camp just showed up to play the EX games and still did the things he did was just amazing .
Just think what a talent like that would have done if he ever took the time to report to training camp and started the season in top shape , yes he could have broke some of Gretzky's records , but he was just to "LAZY" to even try ....
