wilt???

unlike jordan where people expect another player to duplicate his play and
championships, even as a kid i never heard anybody put that tag on a player...

Because Wilt is before TV. No one has much memories of Wilt's play
aside from snippets and stats. Jordan is on TV all the time, even now.



i guess people think that nobody will ever come along and be as good as
wilt was...

if there was an all time player draft, mine would go like this...

1. wilt
2. kareem
3. magic
4. bird
5. jordan
6. west
7. king (when healthy)
8. company time
9. mcadoo
10. malone (moses)
11. mchale
12. wilkins


How did McHale got on this list?

one of the best defenders at the 4 position of all-time... everything is not
about offense you know... not to mention, in the playoffs at times he seemed
almost unstoppable on offense... a lot of people will probably say the butcher
of salt lake should get the nod instead of mchale, but malone stays away from
the basket to much for me at the 4 spot... mchale is basically the rambis of
the squad... and its not like youre going to get a lot of run at the 11 and 12 spots...

I am not saying he is not good. But top 12 is a pretty lofty position.

Mchale could lock down on defense and then drop 40 at the other end if needed. Not many better
around the basket in his prime. I wish Kwame had McHale's hands. :-(

yep, he got close to or did manage to put up 50 on a couple of ocassions...
he didnt have to score, they had so many weapons just like the lakers...

same for james worthy who could easily replace nique as my 12th guy...
but i figure when i bring in my 12th man i want some excitement... :-)
