The shorter players I checked or tried to check emulated Thomas back in the day... Usually with speed to burn, slick ball-handling. If they can...
King's release threw me off but accounts are that he wasn't a good influence in the locker room. Tavecchio was so-so. Speaking of punters, Lechler...
Watching those early games...no one dribbled much between the legs or behind the back. Not that they weren't slick back then just more simple....
- Mario Edwards on the trading block...Hurst and Hall has made him expendable.
Bill Russell once said that Goodrich was the one player that drove him crazy because he could never time and get his shot... Led the 1972 Lakers...
That's the one... :) Now looking for this which I did not even know about: [IMG]
Seachickens (credit of name to @John3:16) BBQ - Manuel showed up...captaincy, steady play and 3 TDs...do like him over Cook though that's not...
Jim Chones once said the 4 spot was the least glamorous position on those Showtime squads but not in terms of value. His take was "they sell you...
Ah...floor burns, errant sharp elbows, faded unis and horn rimmed spectacles?
So do you look down on your shoes while dribbling before you take the shot? Stu and Lantz once brought up this habit of Scott's which I noticed to...
Deng wants to play so let him play then... Lakers ALWAYS accommodate their players.
...just give Deng spot minutes at the 4 when we play New Orleans. Draw a charge, take an elbow to the chin, body shots...get it over with. :)
Cooper... Taller than most yet was rail thin (still somewhat). Not a particularly deadly perimeter player but have a very good J though I did not...
@sirronstuff I too paid more attention to the players who weren't the "stars" of the squad. Cooper (my avi), Horry, Ariza, Odom, Randle, Hart....
George did not want that meeting with Johnson because he would have difficulty saying no THEN having to face Angry Russ afterwards. [IMG]
Yes... Oh and I don't condone those idiots either.
