I won't get into old names, but those 2 guys had some pretty big and/or brutal guys playing with them. I'm not trying to say Dwayne Wade won't win a championship because he's small, obviously he has a very good chance because he has Shaq. Ever since the Post Jordan Era, every team that won it all has had a big man. And i'm sure you remember who won 2 years in a row when Jordan was playing baseball. A little off topic, but i feel that's why the East has been so bad for so long. They all tried to duplicate the Bulls success, modeling their teams after Jordan and Pippen. Meanwhile, the West just kept drafting and signing strong PF's and centers whenever the opurtunity arrived.
I just don't know about Marbury. I think they're on the same page. Francis is more of a dribbling turnover waiting to happen, while Marbury just seems to be a cancer wherever he goes. I think the fans see his over inflated ego and that's why Stevie was always selected to the All Star game over Marbury. I definantly agree with BD. What he slightly lacks in athletisism, he makes up with a higher basketball IQ.
