[Da_Eggman]

[Koapa]

I remember reading about that in Hakeems book. Fukking Rockets.

 

[superunknown23]

They really worshiped big men back then...
At least they were good in those days

hindsite is 20/20
Ralph Simpson was a beast for a couple years

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

This is why I don't respect yall nikkas opinions on basketball

 

[Loose]

Ralph Sampson was a beast. Not sure what you getting at hindsight is a bytch

 

[hashmander]

this would have sucked. be happy (if you like what jordan and dream eventually became) it didn't go down.

 

[mozichrome]

the Dallas Mavericks chose Sam Perkins and Terrance Stansbury when they could have easily taken Charles Barkley and John Stockton.

shiit happens

I'm 37 and began paying attention to basketball on my own around that pistons back to back era. Prior to that it'd be the Lakers vs. Celtics that the grown ups were going crazy over.

That said. I'm not sure I ever saw Ralph Sampson play a single game. Wasn't he like a semi bust? Injuries or some shyt? I know they had him and dream and that was a thang for a minute.

They wouldn't have drafted MJ if they already had Clyde though. Barkley though?




Didn't those 3 all eventually end up together during the flabby & sick era or had dream been dealt to Toronto by then?

A bust is someone whose talent doesn't meet expectations on the next level.....Ralph talent was off the charts, but injuries did him in.....simple as that.....

Clyde had some of the best squads in NBA history, and the Lakeshow still gave them that work. time and time again......

 

[Big Mel]

Well, until Jordan started giving him that work.
