luc longley wasn't a bum, nikka had skills

 

[Rich Spirit]

KOBE.

the nikka had Smush Parker, Kwame Brown and Walton on his team.

3 of the worst players in NBA history and took them to a game 7 against a 50 win team in Phoenix

can't get any worse than that

Carried implies the team went somewhere. smh @ people bringing up 1st round exits.

Iverson's sixers in '01 went 56-26 and reached the finals. Starting lineup in the finals was Iverson, Mutombo, McKie, tyrone Hill, and Jumaine Jones. Bench was Snow, Bell, Geiger and Todd fukking MacCulloch

But here's what people forget. Mutombo only played like 20 games that year.

Theo Ratliff was going to win DPOY before he got injured, they traded for Mutombo who won DPOY. They had Aaron mcKie who was 6th man of the year. Eric Snow was a solid point guard. Tyrone Hill was good PF. That sixers team was built on hard working players who understood their roles. Not alot of star power but it was a good team. You see once bthey tried to get scoring the team went to shyt.

Luc was a solid role player in which he benefitted from the system. He was expected to be better in phoenix where he flopped.

what makes you say that?

All i'm saying was luc fit great with the triangle and once he got out of it he was kind of exposed.

when he was on the suns/knicks he was depressed

Pau Gasol

Here's the starting lineup for game 3 of the NBA finals for the Cavs in 07 -


Daniel Gibson
Sasha Pavlovic
LeBron James
Drew Gooden
Zydrunas Illgauskas


Games 1 and 2 had Larry Hughes in place of Gibson.

I love how the NBA started sometime in 1992

 

[Mic-Nificent]

That Cavs team that was in the finals isn't as bad as people are making it out to be.

Yes Lebron was the only Superstar on the team but IllGauskas and Gooden were hardly bums at the time.

 

[William Bassington]

That Lakers squad was straight garbage, Smush Parker probably had one of the lowest iq's for a PG in recent memory. Luke Walton started at SF, and the biggest bust of all time was starting center. Just terrible.


That Cavs team was also pretty garbage, although Illgauskas and Gooden were solid back then.
WTF happened to Larry Hughes...he was decent in Cleveland dude fell off...


That AI team had no business in the finals either...
