    Dominique was a great scorer, but he was a showman. He played street b-ball. He'd let his guy go by him, then try to block his shot from behind (because that was cool). As for his rebounds, he was a 6'8", athletic SF. Most of those rebounds just came to him. Besides, rebounding is not defense. Just ask Antawn Jamison. Nique was lucky if he outscored his man. That's why he's not Top 50. No D.

    Since when is 7 rpg so special anyway?

    And yes, Walton was far better than Nique when his feet weren't messed up.

    Both Jordan and Pippen hated Isiah but they didn't pick him on the word of Jordan (for obvious reasons). The show "GBehind The Glory" on Fox Sports had a great story on Zeke. Dude was a hard guy to get a long with. He was similar to MJ in that "I'm all about winning so yes I will act like a ahole at times and if you don't like f**k you" kind of way but wasn't as talented or worl renowned as MJ so he got called out on it more. The show had a clip of the time when Karl Malone almost killed him w/ an elbow to his face as Zeke was going up for a lay-up. Malone didn't like his attitude :rolleyes: and even though Malone was a young player he popped him one and Zeke looked like someone who caught a beat down and was stumbling around in a bar fight.

    Like all men I guess he had two sides to him the one where he;s kissing Magic at center court and the one were he gets in his teammates faces and freezes out MJ. Unfortunately for him, messing w/ the most powerful amn in basketball cost him a spot on dream team 1.
