    everyone Sheed played with called him the defensive vocal coach on the court...like Wes was. He led the defensive intensity wherever he played and I disagree that he wasn't a leader, he just didn't need stats to affect the game..

    Also, leader doesn't define him as a better player or not.
    For all of Sheed's attitude issues, Id still take his attitude over LMA's.
    LMA was never a leader here either. First it was Roy, then Dame. LMA never fully embraced being a leader. He talked the talk, but when it came down to action he had two stellar games against Houston. That's it. Other than that he has been an average player when it comes to PF's. The league is just weak with PF's right now, so he was more sought after. If LMA were around in the 80's and 90's, he wouldn't even have been an all star.

    Here is a list of Blazer PFs that are better than LaMarcus: Lucas, Buck Williams, Brian Grant, Rasheed Wallace. He's on the level of Cliff Robinson and Zach Randolph.

    So if Aldridge wins a ring in San Antonio you'll respect him more?

    Some folks consider Wallace to be the best HS player to ever come out of Phillie, after Wilt Chamberlain. Some think he was even better. But Sheed never cared about being a star. He just wanted to fit in And be a part of the team. I think that's probably why he went to UNC. And while I hated it when he let his inner punk off the leash, he knew how to "fill in the gaps" very well, while letting the bigger egos shine. That's a good guy to have on your team.

    You can't be serious. Sheed was an embarrassment. So was Zach, by the way.

    You mean if Pop, Duncan, Parker, Leonard, Ginobli, Mills, Diaw and the new guy win...nah...still not the same. I respect Lamarcus but doubt his leadership skills under pressure. On the Spurs, he's a follower so far.

    You can MAYBE make a case for LMA being better than Zbo, but not Sheed. And at best I'd say it's a draw between Zbo and LMA.

    Larry Brown; Billups - Ben Wallace - Hamilton - Hunter - Prince and the new Guy. Nahh still not the same. I respect Sheed but I doubt his leadership skills under pressure. On the Pistons he's a follower.

    And a follower who knows he's a follower is worth more than a fake leader with no leadership qualities or skills.
    Sheed knew what the PF's role should be and he played it well.

    They weren't the star of the team.
