Dame in Milwaukee thread

I'm a big Dame fan but that's just ridiculous

off the top of my head:

Wilt; Bill Russell; Rick Barry; Oscar Robertson; Jerry West; Kareem; Hakeem; Elgin Baylor; Bird; Magic; MJ, Dr. J; Gervin; Elvin Hayes; Moses Malone; Karl Malone; John Stockton; Shaq; Kobe; The Admiral; Tim Duncan; Rodman; Pippen; Barkley; Curry; Lebron; KG; Giannis; Jokic; Durant; Steve Nash; Nowitski; AD; Chris Paul

I might put Dame ahead of 3 or 4 of those guys, but that's about it, at most

 

Boston college, ESPN did a 30 for 30 called playing for the mob.

 

Yeah, maybe Reggie was talking about three point shooters and then I could see it. I think Dame deserved to be top 75 and I think he'd have a hard time making the top 50 team, I'm not saying he wouldn't make that team, I'm saying that would be a close call.

 

Gotta see where his career ends up? Tough to make a call like that before he is done.

 

Reading the comments on X, Reggie was talking about clutch players.

 

that's a lot different then. Robert Horry might be in that top-10

 

It's hard and this is why I hate these lists. If Dame had been on a good team, like Steph, how many rings would he have and then where would he rank?

 

If that's the case he is definitely in the top ten.

 

If the Bucks win it all or get to the finals twice with Dame, this is a lock in my opinion

 

Now think if he does it with the Bucks a couple times and then comes back to Portland and does it again here?

 

That's the LeBron path to championships. Steph took a different path and is a bad comparison. Klay, Draymond, Looney, GPII, etc., weren't supposed to be nearly that good, and Wiggins, Iggy, Livingston, Longley, etc., were reclamation projects.

Be it coaching, late-blooming players, the way the team gelled, or Steph's influence, they grew around Steph's style of play into a championship team. That never happened with Dame.

 

You forgot the two championships out of four in which KD, not Steph, was the best player on "Steph's team".

 

That's debatable. It was an established championship team, and Steph took a backseat to allow Durant to flourish. I'm not sure Durant even made them better, so much as he extended the peak window of the aging roster.

 

He just passed MJ for all time assists!!!

That said yeah I don't think top 10.......maybe #20?

 

We didn't have good enough basketball players. Simple as that. Too many one dimensional players.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that since Doc took over as coach the Bucks are 15-16.....horrible choice for a head coach ...all he ever did was ride Thibs and 4 superstars coattails to a ring but everywhere else he's been a flop. Really poor choice by the Bucks. They could get easily bounced in the first round and then the blame will fall on Dame's reputation more than likely

 

They actually signed him for 4 years also. Did they have to buy him out of other contracts to get him?
