my earliest basketball memories are from the '97 and '98 seasons. I remember as a kid watching those Bulls teams in the playoffs thinking this guy Harper is a scrub, decent defender but doesnt score and isn't even a 'point'. I overheard my dad and his friend one day talking about how good he used to be I was until I looked up his stats a few years ago. This dude put up 23-5-5 his rookie year and even before coming to Chicago he was an 18-5-5 player. Who'd be his nba equivalent today?

After thinking a li'l bit...today's equivalent would be Caron Butler.

Anyway:

- the fucc they mean "Greg Oden was the most hyped big man since Kevin Garnett"? Did they forget Tim Duncan, Camby, and Olowokandi were in between them?

- Sam Bowie gotta be Top-5 here.

- Ed O'Bannon should've placed also.

No Bill Walton?

Smh at the disrespect for the Franchise by unnamed posters in this thread. I'm not even respond tot he bullshyt.


Michael dikkerson also should be on this list. He was on his way. If ODen made the list he should definitely be ahead of Oden

@ Oden most hyped since Garnett fukk Complex

Amare put damn near 40 on Garnett/T'Wolves his rookie year out of high school, if i remember correctly. Always liked his game

Ed O'bannon wasn't gonna be nothing in the NBA regardless. nikka's knees were fine when he got drafted

Straight overlooked that mug. My bad.

No Kenny Andreson?
He had the best handle I've ever seen


Jay Williams was incredible college player, but his rookie was very disappointing. I don't think he was gonna be a great pro if he stayed healthy.

They put Amare there already

take Amare off the list. his career was not GREAT at this point. he was a non defender that pick and chose when he wanted to rebound. i like Amare but lets be real he was one dimensional.
