    Tune in now. This should be required viewing for all you youngsters that never saw the Human Highlight Film play. You might understand why us old school guys give him such props...

    His ringless fingers were quite 'nique for a player of his talents.

    I've seen most of the Hawk-Celtics games on Classic, that was a damn fierce rivalry. Watching Danny Ainge going crazy after every call in the 4th quarter is great entertainment. It's a shame that Nique always had to run into that juggernaut because he played Larry Bird to a standstill when they faced each other.

    both of them were great individual talents who'll always be looked down upon amongst their contemporary peers like Jordan, Olajuwon, Bird...

    Leading your team to a ring is the end all be all to all arguments. Which those 2 guys never did, so in my opinion they are lesser players to their peers like the ones I mentioned (please do not make a stupid argument that I'm saying Dennis Johnson or John Paxson were better players since they have rings; franchise players only).

    Jordan had Pippen. Bird had McHale, Parish, & DJ. What did 'Nique have? and dont even say Doc Rivers...
