Forgotten 90's NBA stars

[Professor Emeritus]

Mugsy>>>Barea

I love Muggsy, he's one of my favorite players of all time. But any era in which Muggsy gets burn in an era where Barea gets burn. Muggsy was a STARTER in that era and you're claiming Barea couldn't even come off the bench?

Muggsy started nearly 600 games in the 1990s. In 1993 he took out Boston in the playoffs and gave the Knicks a ton of trouble (same Knicks that took a 2-0 lead against the Bulls and nearly pushed them to 7). In 1997 he averaged 16ppg on 58% shooting in the first round against the defense of Chris Childs and Charlie Ward without letting either one go off.

Muggsy was good for that era though but they aren't giving a 5'3 guy a chance in today's league.

In this era there was another lil guy named Aquille Carr, also from Baltimore, this dude was nasty the whole city used to come out and watch him play they called him the "crime stopper", he was a huge mixtape favorite back in the early 2010's. He had a nasty handle, could shoot it with range, 48 inch vertical and had big enough hands to dunk.

He never made it past the G-League and plays overseas now.

Sheed is one of the most underrated guys from the mid 90s through the 2000s.


He would be such a fukking monster in today's game. One of the first big guys with range and was an amazing defender


I think he might be better now or atleast fit in more

Sheed fit just fine in his own era. He COULD have been a monster back then. He was just too complacent.

Exact same issues he had in that era would be there today. He just didn't have the motor to impose his will the way he was capable of. In this era he might end up even lazier, floating outside every play rather than dominating weaker defenders inside like he was capable of.

I routinely hear the people that OP mentioned names' around here.

There's not much that we've forgotten in the 90's because you nikkas stay harping back on it and exclaiming "the 90's was the greatest decade".

You can't even criticize players back then, or you'll get called a Bron stan, even though most "Bron stans" have Jordan as the GOAT.

Sheed got complacent and had a tendency to jack up jump shots instead of dominating the paint. One of my all-time favorite players ever since I watched him in UNC and imo had all the tools to be in that Duncan/KG bracket. Or at least Webber. Except motivation and focus. Those problems would still be there today.

the nikka skipped college. If he went to college and did his thing he may have been drafted.

Sheed always seemed like he could've been the perfect rival for kg (instead of Duncan). He could do it all, had a 3 ball and inside game, but breh just didn't have that extra gear in him. He should've been a monster. Like you said, he was complacent. Perfect word to describe him.

Kenny Anderson, Detlef Shrempf, and Vin Baker were “stars” huh?

There’s a reason why they were forgotten.

You nikka post alert
