Name one guard that would talk smack to this dude on the court...



Mad Max?? :lol: sheeeid. Nobody today. These dudes are sissyfied. Always flopping, begging for calls. Max would be all inside these dudes head.

Hell like I said... nobody back then either. He was a smaller, thuggish version of Artest. CRAZY.
 



Nash is a better shooter and passer, and is 3-4 inches taller.

Nash aint that much taller than Price is. I saw Nash up close. Dude is about 6 foot 1 at best and that's a maybe 6'1. He aint 6'3 like they list him. Price was listed at 6'0. So I make him 5'11. Maybe 2 inches at best. 3" is probably pushing it. Definitely not a 4" difference. Nash is just more stringy than Price was. Shooting wise I don't know about that Price could shoot that rock. He won that 3 point contest twice. Nash has him on assists and I think Nash can get his shot better than Price could.
 
Put James Worthy on a team like Golden State back then and we wouldnt even be talking about him. He had the luxury of playing with the great Lakers...
 
Bob Ryan, the longtime writer for the Boston Globe, said recently that LeBron James is right now a top 10 all-time player. Is that true?

Thank you. Dude was a benefactor of playing with hall of famers

I could make that exact same argument about Kobe going to the Nets or The Bobcats. He had the luxury of playing with Shaq winning 3 titles and Pau Gasol winning two.

Don't ever utter the words Pau Gasol again in a basketball conversation.
 
Let's be honest here. Worthy was a role player on Magic Johnson's team. Never ever was he the star of the show.
 
Remember Shaq didnt win a title until he hooked up with Kobe. If thats the case Shaq wouldve won with Hardaway

Both ya'll crazy................ :lol:
And there was only 2 HOFers on the LAKERS at that time. Kareem and Magic.

And IF that is the case, Scottie Pippin could not get the job done so without JORDAN. Dude literally curled up in a fetal position talking about his head hurting without Jordan. Without JORDAN, you probably would not be talking about PIPPEN like a HOFer either. Just another Forward in the league. :lol:

Ya'll not looking at the big picture.
Back then, teams were deeper across the board because there was less teams in the NBA back then, meaning fewer slots for weak azz bench warmers like you got today. Some of these so-called NBA players on the bench today would not have even been in the league back then because of the smaller number of teams / slots open. You got teams like Charlotte, New Orleans, Minnesota, and Orlando that was not even NBA Franchises back in the 1980's.

You can say that about a lot of stars. I wonder how Kobe would have fared being stuck with the Hornets if he had not forced the draft day trade.

You obviously never saw JW play when he was at UNC. Had he went to Golden State back then he would have averaged 28 points a game. If anything, the Lakers and all their pieces kept him from scoring more. Yall act like JW was a scrub. Did you really see this cat play in his prime? Seriously. It is a reason Jerry West made him the number 1 pick in the NBA draft. Dude was the best player at the time on North Carolina's team that featured Jordan and Sam Perkins. The one that won the NC game against Ewing and Sleepy Floyd. As a matter of fact folks called foul that the Lakers had swindled the Clippers and won the coin flip to get Worthy in the first place. You guys talk about me. But your NEW SCHOOL biases are working overtime. Aint no way Big Game James would have been a bust. Now he may have not won any titles if he went to a sad arse franchise. Again, this can be said about Kobe and even Magic who went to an already good Lakers team. That's what makes Jordan so great. He had to carry a franchise that had never won isht to the top of the NBA food chain. A franchise that had eaten up and spit out previous individual stars. LOL.

Frat these cats done bumped their heads. They never saw JW play. The Lakers practically stole him. It wasn't even fair they got JW. Dude was the best player in college basketball that year. Folks just remember Jordan for hitting the shot. But it was Worthy who kept them in the game so there could be a shot to win. LOL. He has always been big game James. The Lakers needed worthy because Jamaal Silk Wilkes was getting long in the tooth and Mark Lansberger the power forward before Rambis came a long was a liability.

Kurt Rambis could make a squad now in his prime. Look at fugging Nick Collison and folks like Diego Splitter with the Spurs. Don't start no foolishness Pop. Miami Heat would be glad to have a Kurt Rambis right about now. LOL. Hell even Vlade the flop Divac would be a top center these days.
 
JR,
JW was never the star of the team man. You can't put him in Jordan or Dominique's category. I am not saying the man is great but I am saying he was a role player on Magic's team.

I'm so embarrassed.............. :smh: :lol:

And I see you never watched KURT play and his role on the LAKERS SQUAD. If KURT was playing now, he would have a mega contract and every team in the NBA would be after his services.

Kurt Rambis was the first NBA player to make "NERD GLASSES" cool. Everybody in the Fabulous Forum would be riding "Clark Kents" cape when he came into the game, scrapping down low in the paint and diving into the stands for loose balls.

So we hyping up Kurt Rambis too now? During Rambis last stint with the Lakers, he was getting pushed around.

If anyone got carried to some rings, it was Rambis. If Kurt Rambis had been black, we wouldn't even know his name.
