Bringing Him Back

by **Gator** on Thu Jul 05, 2007 2:45 pm

Got this from a different forum. If you could choose one player to bring back who was in his prime or at his best of ability, who would you pick for your team?

IMO, I would pick Grant Hill. 21, 9, 7 is impressive.

by **Gundy** on Thu Jul 05, 2007 2:50 pm

Michael Jordan....Surprise!!!

by **Drex** on Thu Jul 05, 2007 2:51 pm

I'd pick Wilt to see how much he would score nowadays.

by **-Young Buck-** on Thu Jul 05, 2007 3:02 pm

I would like to see Glenn Robinson or Nick Van Exel sign with a team.

but if i could pick anyone it would probably be Anfernee Hardaway.

by **NovU** on Thu Jul 05, 2007 3:31 pm

mitch richmond, jordan, reggie miller, gheorghe muresan, hawkins, mugsy boggs, rik smits, sean elliot, drexler, avery johnson, rodman--- in order

back in old days, 1on1 skill was more important than now cuz of illegal defence rules, hardly allowing zone d. so i wonder how they'd play in todays circumstances...

Austin Carr for the cavs. Not a very recognized PG because his team wasn't that good, but he was a great player but didnt have enough talent to push him over the top. To have what he was with LeBron now would be pretty great

ron mercer in 2000-01 with the bulls:
19.7 PPG
3.9 boards
3.3 dimes
1.28 steals

heeeeeell yeh!

Alex English to the Nuggets

Well my first choice would be to draw from the future when Kyle Korver will be averaging 26ppg, winner of the 3pt shootout by scoring a record 29 pts, and smasher of Ray Allen's most 3pters in a season record...

But,

This is drawing from the past, in which case I'd pick Bill Russell since he's the kind of player who can really fit onto any team in the NBA right now. You'd have trouble working a superstar scorer like Alex English or Wilt Chamberlin into every team (granted they'd obviously outscore almost every player now and be the no. 1 option), but a guy like Russell, who can play PF or C, would be a great assett. Tim Duncan x10 on defense with point guard passing ability and a basketball IQ that's never been replicated, except for maybe Magic Johnson or John Stockton.

c'mon man
don't c him averaging anywhere near 26ppg
at very very best, 20ppg sounds reasonable
29/30 3pt shootout performance? :wall:

You are crazy zanshadow. Don't you know that Kyle Korver is Larry Bird in disguise? He has just been trying to fake the league out. He will win MVP and Most Improved player this year.

On that note...

I'd like to bring back the true MVP...

Penny or Kemp i'd say. Would love to see Olajuwon have his way with this generation's bigs.

by **Sauru** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 8:22 am

bring back tom chambers for the suns, he will fit in nicely there now

by **hammertime23** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 8:27 am

Grandmaama!!!!! Back on the Hornets when he was dropping 20 and 10. He would be a monster now on any team.

by **Air Zoom Kobe I** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 8:36 am

Charles Barkley in Phoenix would be great. Jimmy Jackson in Dallas would b good, would love to see him in his prime getting 25/6/4/ 2 steals

Now I'm angry at both of you

Other guys I'd like to see would be Magic Johnson, Hakeem, and of course, Penny.

by **Joe'** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 8:53 am

Probably Pat Ewing, Sir Charles or The Mailman Malone.
So sad either of these three legends I listed has won a single ring.

by **Riot** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:08 am

Sam Bowie

by **el badman** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:41 am

At their prime: Kemp, Payton, Daugherty, Blaylock,....
Otherwise, MJ, Olajuwon, Pippen,......

by **ixcuincle** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:15 am

Isiah Thomas , Bill Laimbeer , or Rick Mahorn. They'd get thrown out so fast in today's game though (at least the latter 2)

by **NovU** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:49 am

gheorghe muresan(7'7"), shawn bradley(7'6"),yao ming(7'6")

all at prime, all on same team, all on court at same time would be something real fun to watch... i always loved freak show...
