    i didn't think him as Big Shot Bob back then. the only memorable play was a dunk in the Finals. i've always loved OT.

    Cassell. Including Dream.

    btw ... I love threads where you can read the title, and know who started them even before you read the name. :)

    This is a tough one. I would have to say either Mario or Horry.

    Definitely OT.


    If anyone ever needed to see a clinic on how to run an unstoppable Pick n Roll, look no further than OT and Kenny. Wow.

    Now he couldn't shoot a shot further than about 3 feet, but that's ok. He knew his limitations, and focused on what he did well, which was to just be the best darn 4 we ever had..

    Maxwell certainly was a big time baller with all those last second heroics but I loved Horry in his younger years. He had this flare and smoothness when he played sort of like TMac. He was a high flyer and he was the first person to make it on the cover of Live so that definetley made me love the guy even more.

    i don't recall mario playing that significant a role on the 94 championship run. didn't mario make the comment himself that he didn't really play much in 94. it was 95 when he really shined.

    of course, that doesn't preclude him from being a favorite, i'm just saying...

    Have to say OT. He was definately our second best player that year. Mad Max a close second. I just don't have that many Elie, Horry, Cassell memories from that year until the playoffs.

    Otis! I miss that kind of player. Only if Yao has one along side, we will be a real force. That being said, I have my hope high for the team this year.

    No way we beat the Knicks without OT holding his place in the lane against the thugs Riley threw out there.

    Just watch the tapes and observe how hard OT had to work that series.

    Thorpe!
