    Fat Lever was good. The only guy to ever do 20 pts, 20 rebs and 10 ast TWICE.

    This guy rebounded like that at 6'3" and 170lbs. Same height as Lillard and 25 pounds lighter.

    The first think I thought when looking at that list was "Oh, *that's* why Golden State went after David Lee."

    Well, back to 1985. The Stern era. 40% of league history.

    In the modern era. I'd bet that Wilt had a couple games like that, and probably Oscar Robertson too.

    Nah, he's much more than a glue guy. Claver is a glue guy. Glue guys don't drop triple doubles :lol:

    If you want to think of him more than that's all good. I think he's a very good glue guy. I would never think he could lead a team to greatness. I think he's an important piece.

    My definition of a "glue guy" is someone who does a little bit of everything. Claver is a great example of a glue guy. Batum does a lot of everything. That's why I don't personally think "glue guy" does him justice.

    Maybe we call Claver "DGlue" as it appears he may only be Dleague caliber, can't really call Vic a glue guy when he is always ""glued" to the bench
