Who was worse? Ervin Johnson, Karim Abdul Jabbar or Isaiah Thomas?

[NYC Rebel]

These knock off versions used to annoy me.

Ervin Johnson was an outright insult and Karim was a slap in the face.

At least Isaiah with the extra A was legit

 

[MurderToCassette]

Isaiah Thomas was legit, he went from Mr. Irrelevant to a solid player on playoff teams. He was even an All Star twice. If he hadn't rushed recovering from an injury to help the bum ass Celtics he would've had a better career.

 

[Erratic415]

Isaiah was definitely the best of them.

Karim actually got sued by Kareem.

The Dolphins took Jabbar in the 3rd round in 1996 when Tedy Bruschi and Terrell Owens were still on the board.

Maybe nobody saw those guys becoming what they did, but that still hurts.

The fake Kareem was from LA, and wore #33. He knew what he was doing.

AND played for UCLA like real Kareem.

Dude was thee potential beast at half back in that exact time.


Not knowing much about what the fraud thing is. Posters are alluding to without google'n.
actually lived up to being his own thing in football. Not on the level of the real Kareem in hoops of course. Yet as a super cold back when healthy.
That made his game at least mean sumfin from ability when healthy.

[Damnshow]

Are we talking about the most blatant rip off? Then it's Karim

The worst player of out those three? Ervin. Karim was actually talented. Ervin was just a standard pedestrian center in that era of basketball where you needed bodies in the paint.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Kareem low key a hoe for suing dude over the name

 

[Dem313wayz]

Man I hated Ervin Johnson

 

[UpNext]

It's disrespectful as hell to put IT in this conversation

The fake Karim Abdul Jabbar was the first ever autograph card that I pulled out of a pack. He was probably the best RB that Marino had in his career lol
