If you typed Kobe, Dirk, Gasol or any other proven unstoppable ball player... One could argue that you aren't really a true fan of the Houston Rockets. IMHO
because we hate some of our biggest rivals best players? thats a good one. im pretty sure no redskins fan ever wanted to see emmitt smith in a redskins jersey and he was the greates runner of all time.
By the same token, I could add Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen, and John Stockton to that list and most people on this board would still not want them on this team. And the 3 players I named are far and away better than those 3 above put together. Remember, those 3 are arguably three best players ever (or top 5) in their position.
He's another good one for this decade in another sport. Just because fans do not want T.O. on their football team...that makes not real fans of the team. C'mon now. Yet, T.O. is dominant and unstoppable receiver. And again the only player on that original list that is close unstoppable is ...Kobe. Those other players can be stopped with the right defense, physical play, or talent on your team, a little more easily
Jamal Tinsley Jamal Crawford Corey Magette Derek Fisher Matt Harpring Joel Przybila Antawn Jamison Kevin Garnett Jerry Stackhouse Amare Stoudemire (no defense AT ALL, but I don't hate him)
Amar'e Stoudemire is at the top of my list for stealing Yao's rookie of the year award. Both had similar stats, but Yao has done so much for the NBA overseas.
No such player exists for me.Anyone that can help my team win a title is fine by me.If rodman can play with jordan and pippen, then i'm cool with anyone.
good thread. Boozer Dampier Jerome James Eddy Curry Rasheed Wallace Kirk Heinrich (mainly because he sucks and has a killer contract)
Past: Shawn kemp Nate McMillan Xavier McDaniel Detlef shremp John Stockton KARL malone the big smoove Present: Shemac Vince carter AI Stephen Jackson Ron arrest Gilbert arenas Luther head Matt harpring Mehmet okur Dirk nowitski Mark Madsen Carlos boozer jason Terry Just to name a few.
Emmitt isn't the greatest runner of all time. That distinction still belongs to Walter Payton (Jackson State University). Emmitt ran behind an all pro line for 10 years and then went to Arizona and further pimped his way to the rushing title. My apologies to everyone else, but as a JSU alum I must protect my own
Do you guys like to win? Deron Williams and Dirk would really help. But if you don't want to become a better team, go on with your list.
