One thing the game is missing these days are the great role players. Guys like Horry, Artest, Sam Cassell. Not stars but everyone knew them and they had their own swagger about them, unique personalities helped. Maybe 1 all star appearance, never one of the best players in the league, but always played a role in outcomes and more often than not, showed up big in big moments.

Nowadays seems role players are out here tryna be superstars :mjpls:

you new trolls don't even try anymore.

Let's not get carried away friend, were talking about a dude who averaged 7 points a game in the playoffs. He played great D and was clutch, but let's not act like he ever sniffed an all Star team.


RJ was a dude that averaged 20+ on 55 percent shooting during his playoff run with the nets, while playing good D. They are definitely on the same level.

nikka, Ron artest was much better than Horry. Multiple all defensive teams, DPOY, an all star game, putting up 20 in the playoffs those 2 or 3 years while locking nikkas down

Not a franchise player
One-time all star
Known for a specific skill
Unique personality
Not a number 1 or even a 2 on a great team, but did great in his role somewhere further down the list
Fondly remembered
Hall of Fame probability - less than 1%

Sounds like exactly the type of guys I was talking about
