an old head told me David Thompson was Michael Jordan idol growing up

[god shamgod]

Jordan had david thompson present him at the hall of fame

Don't know much about him except he went to nc state and use to be yackin on nikkas and dropped like 74 in a game, he was before my time

 

[mastermind]

i jusd find it interesting this is the man that help shape the goats game n they dont even speak on him at all

no one talks about Walter Davis either who Jordan shoots the ball like. (another guy who was a cocaine addict)

Wait this nicca blew his knee out at Studio 54 with Rick James and Charlie Murphy while zooted? Is it time for a new episode?

 

[courtdog]

he said thats who he patterned his game after
any nikkas remember when he was playin?

how come nobody mention him as one of the better players?

Didn't the lakers have a center with that name?

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

I havent seen him play extensively but he was a great scorer and very athletic wing. One of the first wings to really use his athletic ability to attack from the perimeter. Still he wasn't THAT good. He might have been MJ's influence but there were way better players around like Gervin and DrJ for example

David thompson is considered by most experts to be the greatest acc bball player of all time. fukk is you talking about?

Didnt he score 73 in a game while playing for the Nuggets?

Yup, on the last day of the season and he momentarily overtook George Gervin for the scoring tile. Gervin dropped 63 ( a then record 33 in the 2nd qtr) later on that day to overtake him 27.22 to 27.15 for the scoring title.

That is still one of the coolest basketball posters to this very day

For all the jokes it was quite cool of MJ to bring him out at his HOF induction. I wasn't really aware of the connection before that moment tbh, so it was cool he paid hommage.

I didnt know the david thompson connection was such a secret he averaged about 13 points in 20 minutes his last season in the nba

his pro career

And even with the drug problems he still balled in the NBA. He averaged almost 23 a game for his career. Imagine how good he would have been if he wasn't an addict.
