Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post Posted May 14, 2003 Steve Kerr. Kerr can shoot the ball, so I wouldn't put him on thie list. My pick: Eric Snow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 14, 2003 I always saw Bill Laimbeer as this type of player. He was never all that talented, but he mastered the flop and always played hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted May 14, 2003 Steve Kerr, He can shoot thats about it. Eric Snow, I swear when first saw him on the Sonics and I thought he wouldn't make it in the League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Most people would say that he doesnt count since he's one of the 50 GOAT, but I think that just shows how a 6'6 chubby man like Sir Charles was able to just outwork and outhustle anybody that came in his way and grab those boards, showing that he utilized all the potential that God put in him and than some.

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted May 15, 2003 I was thinking of Barkley. But does he happen to be a fat guy with great talent. What about Mugsey Bogues. For a guy only 5-3 he put a nice career together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Jim Luscotoff Hall of Fame forward with the Celtics during their championship run. He had little talent... but a huge heart. Because of that heart, he is a champion, a hall of famer and has his name hanging from the rafters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Robert horry Robert Horry has talent. If anything overall I'd say he's underachieved. He's stepped up in the playoffs, but he could of been better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Shaquille O'Neal. Little actual talent, but he's dominant because he's so damned big. Actually I've heard some of experts saying that Shaq actually does have real talent and that he could play without running people over if he wanted to. Of he just doesn't need to play with talent, so he doesn't. Of course now that the physical game is wearing his body down, you'd think he'd start playing with talent if he has the ability to do so.

Guest Mik at Cornell Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Shaq has talent. It's not just size. The man knows how to play basketball. It's not size alone that has allowed him to dominate the league for years. Ben Wallace... he's talented sure, but he works so damned hard on the court he's obviously doing better than what he's been given. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Shaq has talent. It's not just size. The man knows how to play basketball. It's not size alone that has allowed him to dominate the league for years. Well he may have real talent, but he doesn't use it at least 90% of the time. He has used his size to dominate his entire career. Unless he's planning on retiring in the next 5 years, he better start using the real talent he supposedly has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Keith Waleskowski of University of Dayton is gonna be the next guy on this list next year, some how he'll get into the league. I would have to say that Barkley should be on the list because 6"6 was generous and he always guarded 4's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ripper Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Charles Barkley is 6'4 tops. But when he was playing, that wasn't fat. That dude was solid. And he was a offensive genius on the post. I think he can't make the list. Bo Outlaw has to be the man now. He can't really jump, shoot, dribble...he just hustles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Dennis Rodman was a hell of an athlete (no, NOT just because he did a leapfrog in WCW, as Tony Schiavone would have you believe) and was in tip-top shape. But as a player, he had little basketball skills. So he carved a niche for himself -- just get every damn rebound possible -- and will maybe end up in the Hall of Fame because of it. Cedric Ceballos also wasn't that good, he could just jump. He said himself one time that he was the king of garbage points. Yet I think he averaged nearly 20 ppg one year and made his mark in the League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Bo Outlaw has to be the man now. He can't really jump, shoot, dribble...he just hustles. True story, I went to high school with Bo Outlaw. I was a freshmen when he was a senior and he helped lead the JOhn Jay Mustangs to state where we promptly got squashed. Surprisingly, he wasn't even the best player on the team but I haven't heard of any of the other guys ever making something out of themselves. My best friend and I were so happy that someone from our high school made it that when NBA Live 94 (or 95) came out, we boosted up Outlaw's stats and made him MVP of the season.

Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted May 16, 2003 Only reason why I wouldn't put Rodman on here is because coming out of college he was a scorer, and was a 6th man averaging 11pts the first couple of seasons with the Pistons. He just wanted focus on Rebounding and defense but if he really want it to he could've been a scorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
