Dan Majerle, Suns, 1995

The case: Dan Majerle was a good player and three-time All-Star, but his 1995 selection to the starting lineup with Latrell Sprewell while Gary Payton, John Stockton and Mitch Richmond were put on the bench remains one of the biggest outrages of all time.


Majerle wasn't even a starter on his own team that year :scusthov:

The game was also in Phoenix.

That's because the All Star game was in Phoenix that year.On top of that, they were the best team in the league/favorites to win it all

at that point in the season.Stockton had that Mormon mundane vibe.Mitch was buried in Sac with lil media coverage.Sprewell & GP wasn't

quite at that super star level yet.Especially Sprewell.GP was all star level, but he didn't really establish himself as a super star until '97-'03.

Right around the time Paul Westphal started coaching the Sonics and implemented a more high paced/wide open style of play.GP really

launched himself into superstardom around that time.

Love


But looks younger than a lot of players in their mid to late 30's

I once ran into him at the Atlanta airport. We were standing right next to each other waiting for our luggage at the carousel. I looked at him and he realized i recognized him and just nodded. I asked him if he was BJ Armstrong he said yes. I didnt wanna keep talking because he seemed in a hurry.

Edit: :mjlol: at the comments starting at the 5:06 mark. Can you imagine Jordan playing in an era where sports gambling is legal? Breh would be on the bench making bets on the phone at halftime talking about:
"WHo's guarding me and how any fouls they got? I bet i can drop 35 on them fools in the second half alone" :mjgrin:
:laff:

Him and Stacey King were drafted by the Bulls the same year. However, Stacey just turned....510 pounds.
