Interesting. If I re-run the numbers and double the impact of playoff games, some of the 'big' movers are: Roy (drops 1 spots), Wallace (up 2 spots), Paxson (down 2), Wicks (down 3), Buck (up 2), Duckworth (up 5), and Petrie (down 3). Nice suggestion. I like that sort a bit better. There are a lot of great names on that list. It's hard to move any of them down.
Hashim Thabeet… Sasha Pavlovic Raymond Felton Nolan Smith Gary Trent sr Armond Johnson Johnny Flynn Jared Jeffries TRob man this would be a long list..I'll stop now
Mt. Rushmore Opposite - Worst 4 players in each position PG: Felton, Dikau, Smith, Telfair (Johnson) SG: Monia, Webster, Brunson, Turner SF: Qyntel Woods, Darius Miles, Claver, Patterson PF: Meyers Leonard, Kemp, Khryapa, Abdur-Rahim C: Ha Seung- Jin, Boumtje-Boumtje, Will Perdue, Stephania (Oden, Bowie)
Not on BBRef. But I'm sure he's listed there somewhere. Anyway, I'm glad you didn't forget him. We should never forget.
I would like to point out his age. There was a debate on here about 30 years and one day being the same as 30 years and 300 days old. I see they list Serge as 35 and 121 days... May have been semantics, but 30 and 300 days is indeed older than 30 and 1 day. I have solved the great age debate!!!!!!!!
SG. JIM PAXSON, DAME PG. PORTER,STRICKLAND STOUDAMIRE SF. KERSEY,ROBINSON PF. MAURICE LUCAS, BUCK C. SABONIS,WALTON(without a microphone),DUCK
Paxson over Dame is ridonculous. 1st off Dame is a PG. The best in the team's history IMO. Paxson was a very good SG. Never spectacular, but the ultimate "Steady Eddy". Drexler is the Blazers best SG, period! I loved Roy's game, but he just wasn't healthy enough to overtake Clyde. Walton ,even in his short tenure, was heads above any other center in the team's history. Not close in my opinion. PF is the hardest position to give a hands down "who is the best" in Blazers history. Luke, Buck, LA, all could be the number 1. Each had their own identity on their teams. I feel Maurice and Buck were glue guys for their respective teams, and had huge impacts on those team's success. But LaMarcus had the biggest skillset, and to me, is the best PF overall. Tough, being that he shafted the Blazers and their fans. LA on this current team, what might have been. SF goes to the heart and soul of the Blazers, Jerome Kersey. "rip city!"
I agree with a lot of this and as you know I don’t have the luxury of having watched Walton a lot, but from what I saw of Sabonis I don’t think he’s way behind. It would have been great to see him come over when he was younger.
Oh I agree. The young Sabonis was an athletic dynamo who dominated everyone he played. He was beat up, heavy, and slow by the time he got to Portland. He could run the floor in his youth and might have made the Clyde/Terry/Buck/ and Jerome Blazers unbeatable. Sabonis was good, but in his health state with the Blazers, not close to Walton. Walton, when healthy, was one of the greatest centers in the history of the league.
Your Roy hate is shining through. As much as I hate Kobe and Tom Brady, I still have to give credit where it's due.
If That 2000 team hadn’t of folded to the Lakers and had finished off the run to the championship, how would that effect how we think of some of those guys? Sabonis / sheed / pippen? I know it doesn’t matter because they lost just curious if that would have bumped them up for you?
Mine too... Mine too. It’s how I got the moniker. I was so upset. Like way more than it makes sense to be...
