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? :salute:

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.

For all the :mjpls: 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.

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.
