A) Win a half dozen MVPS, have moderate playoff success, and a well respected Hall of Fame career (ie. Charles Barkley) or B) Score 2 meaningless points in game 7 of the NBA championship, win the title, and have a forgetful career (ie Earl Cureton Chris Jent type stuff)?????/ ------------------ humble, but hungry.
I'll take the Hall of Fame career over the career that only lasts a couple seasons. Charles Barkley is known as a great basketball player that couldn't win it all. Earl Cureton is only known by Rockets fans (and no one else) as a guy that lucked out and was carried to a championship by one of the greatest centers in NBA history.
A) all the way. ------------------ Founder and President of the Houston Homers Club(HHC) - Are you a homer? Join now! The Rockets will be NBA champions. Believe.
Let's make this one a bit more difficult: Would you rather be: 1. A fabulous player for 3 seasons who wins a championship, and looks like he might be "the greatest ever," but then has a career ending injury. Not drugs or anything... you just go out in a flash of glory in winning game 7 (like Ralph, only far better). or 2. A good, but not great, player who has a long, successful career and even wins a championship (Otis Thorpe). I think I'd pick #1, but it's tougher. ------------------ I would believe only in a God who could dance. - Friedrich Nietzsche Boston College - NCAA Hockey National Champions 2001
Depends how bad the injury is. I would still probably pick option 2, though. I would love to be someone like rick fox or robert horry or horace grant. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
You mean like Bernard King vs Otis Thorpe. B. DaDakota ------------------ If you like RTS games, check out this one. www.frontierwars.com coming soon to a PC near you.
I'd pick OT's way. But, I'd rather be a shooting guard. Like a Maxwell or Elie. Of course, I wouldn't be a huge BONE HEAD like Vernon, but you know what I mean. ------------------ DREAMer's Rocket Page
A......I am selfish and don't care if I win, as long as I play well. He he he!! Hey, that's just me. ------------------ HEAD KNIGHT: We are now... no longer the Knights Who Say 'Ni'.

I would pick B... I think I would really like getting paid to play basketball for years and years...even if I was not one of the best at it, or even close. ------------------ Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

i'd choose A. let me be the pulsar, not the long-lasting, dim, diffuse glow in the distance. plus, with a big name, you can probably do more career wise off the court (broadcasting, endorsements, etc.)
