    Grandpa Jones... He was great. I forget now if we called him that soley because he was old, or was he really a grandfather?

    LOL, Granville looked 45 years old when he played on those great Ohio State teams.

    I liked Kevin Willis because he is the one guy on the court that could easily kick Karl Malone's ass.

    Paultz was a starter and played PF alongside Moses Malone.

    I don't know about kicking his ass, but he couldn't stop Malone in the post. I always saw Malone outmuscle Willis because Willis had a great upper body and twigs for legs.

    I think Paultz was still here after Moses got traded, but can't remember if he was playing some center.

    Didn't Paultz have a fight with Hakeem or Ralph when he ended up in Utah? I swear those Jazz corrupt even the finest of people.

    What's amazing about Paultz is that the guy hardly played much in Houston - I think about 2 or 3 years tops, but still gets love from the old school fans. :D

    Oh, come on. Let's see more love for "The Legend," Charles Jones. The only guy I know in the history of the league who averaged more fouls than points per game.

    Pig Miller is it.

    Anyone who can play ball with a toothpick in their mouth the whole game is insane and must be feared.

    where are eric "my-name-makes-me-sound-like-a-bada$$" riley and richard "i eat children with ketchup and sometimes greek vinaigrette" petruska? they were the bomb, collectively.

    i bet you they're still better than badiane.

    do y'all remember chris jent, larry robinson, and tim breaux? what happened to those fools?

    When a player earns a nickname like "the Whopper," what's not to love? :)
