Ralph Sampson highlights: Sheesh

[threattonature]

That should be a 30 for 30

Did you know a team beat the Showtime Lakers at the height of their powers. What ever happened to the 86 Rockets.

By the way the league lost a lot of good players between 77 and 88 from smack.

Hell yes it would. Grantland had a great article on them a few years back. The Greatest Team That Never Was

In an all time draft, breh might go #1.

Just based on high school/college/measurables/skillset.

Not knowing how their future NBA career turned out.

You throw all the GOAT prospects in one draft (Kareem,Bron, Shaq, Durant, AD, Sampson etc..etc..)

Sampson goes #1, right?

Act like wilt didn’t exist

Watching that felt like I was playing double dribble on Nintendo

Let me go edit that

Prime Hakeem/Sampson would be unstoppable.

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

OG Porzingis

To realize the Rockets have been blessed with Hayes Malone Sampson Dream and Yao when most teams cant find one franchise center is amazing. Really wish Sampson and Yao got full careers though to see how truly dominant they could have become.

Biggest what if for an individual talent imo.

Those Yao year were bittersweet. Loved watching him play. He left it all out there on the court. Wish morey got to him earlier in his career. Carroll Dawson was a horrible gm

Philly chose Moses over Ralph?

 

[mastermind]

Sampson is taller, more athletic, and a better shooter.

Kareem had that methodical game like Duncan, tho.

If I was a GM, would be a tough decision

Kareem won 3 straight college titles while Sampson was a choker.

Kareem is going number one.

This would be a great documentary.

I tell people all the time that the 1970s NBA would be a fascinating story to tell.

The ABA book loose balls is probably my second favorite basketball book that League was wild.

I think Wilt, Shaq, and Lebron would be picked ahead of him because they had brute strength to go with their athleticism.

THIS SHOT COST US A TITLE IN 86
