    Behind all but 1, and CJ will pass him this season

    Games played
    Behind all

    Assists
    Behind all but 1

    I think it's peoples unexplained love for Roy that should be questioned.

    He was a good player who benefitted from an ISO offense

    He's easily behind Clyde, Paxson and Petrie. You could argue CJ, but that's it

    Yes, the triangle with Jordan and the Bulls. His brother Jim, of the Trailblazers, not so much

    Roy’s main problem was his knees right... Of he stays healthy for a few more years he would be much further up all of those lists.

    Almost all players are “system” players except like the GOATs, but even great players thrive in systems that play to their strengths and a good coach puts in a system that makes their best players better. Can’t take away that iso or not BRoy was an awesome SG for a short time.

    Ok, but it was top 4. To me, hes not in that group.

    Had Oden stayed healthy he would have been awesome. He wasn't, so he's not on the list.

    Jim Paxson was born in 1957. His "twin" brother John, in 1960. That's one hell of a labor for poor Jackie

    Well you can have that opinion if you’d like too, I don’t have to share it with you.
    Paxson definitely stayed healthy and had a very long career and he was also a very solid player.
    My point was I don’t really like the “system” player arguement most guys play better in a system that plays to their strengths.

    CSNNW updated the small forward mount. Kersey, Pippin, Batum and Robinson. How does Kiki not make the list? Gross?

    Kiki for sure. Gross was pretty much a role player. Didn't Uncle Cliffy spend most of his time at PF?

    Epitaph will read:

    Clifford "Uncle Cliffy" Robinson
    The Original Stretch Four
