January 31, 200719 yr Haven't watched much pro hoops for a long time, so I'll go with some blasts from the past: Dr. J Earl the Pearl Elvin Hayes Pete Maravich Wes Unseld (have to give him props; he and Leroy Ellis (Leron's dad) came to my junior high school to do a basketball clinic back in the day). Plus, no one had a better outlet pass to start the break. Walt Frazier Big O Jerry West Wilis Reed Magic, Bird, Michael Special recognition to Gus Johnson; shattered a backboard when I was at a Baltimore Bullets game.
January 31, 200719 yr Tom Van Arsdale Johnny Green John Mengelt Adrain Smith Hank Finkle Bob Love Cincincinatus Powell
January 31, 200719 yr Tom Van Arsdale Johnny Green John Mengelt Adrain Smith Hank Finkle Bob Love Cincincinatus Powell I was skeptical about your list so I wikipedia-ed them all. You pass.
January 31, 200719 yr My first favorite players was Reggie Miller, then the duo of Malone and Stockton became one of my favorites. But my favorite player of all time in the NBA and is a current NBA player is Dwayne Wade, and the crazy thing is he became my favorite player after he beat the team I love in UK in the elite 8. I decided then that whoever he got drafted by that team would be my favorite team and he will be my favorite player...
February 2, 200719 yr I was skeptical about your list so I wikipedia-ed them all. You pass. Tom Van Arsdale (Royals) had a twin brother that played for Phoenix mostly but Tom was better. Jumpin Johnny Green (Royals) was one of the best inside shooters in the NBA. John Mengelt (Royals) great foul shooter. Adrian Smith (Royals) still has the car he won for being MVP in the 1966 All-Star game. Hank Finkle (Celts) taught me how to box out at a basketball camp and was the tallest person I had ever seen at that point.
February 2, 200719 yr Julius "Dr. J" Erving and "Sir" Charles Barkley are my all-time favorite NBA players. Shawn Kemp in his prime was one NASTY dunker!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 2, 200719 yr I am not a "today's" NBA fan at all, I was a huge Boston Celtic fan before the "thug" era all over the NBA today. Mine would be: Larry Bird Pete Maravich John Havlicheck Bill Russell Michael Jordan Magic Johnson Kevin McHale Walt Frazier and Stockton to Malone.
