[Hardwood Classics on NBAtv] 'Nique drops 54 on Bird and the Celtics, starts at 9pm

preach on brother let them kids know!

 

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.

 

Cue the idiots who come on here saying Vince Carter is better...

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...

 

Mookie Blaylock made 'Nique's entire career.

 

nique had a solid team, just couldn't get over the hump
