white players

Tue Aug 17, 2004 6:13 pm

who do you guys think are the top 5 white nba players of all time?
for me I think its
1. Larry Bird
2. Jerry West
3. John Stockton
4. Rick barry?
5. Jason Kidd?

I don't know many famous whites in history so this is a bit tough :(

while we on this topic, can you think of a all white starting line up?

aint kid mixed wit black ?????

Tue Aug 17, 2004 6:18 pm

Jason Kidd is half black
thats still a good list tho,i would replace Kidd with the the pistol Pete Maravich

It's difficult to pick just five: George Mikan, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, Rick Barry, Pete Maravich, Dave Cowens, Larry Bird, John Stockton are all names that come to mind.

C: Mikan
F: Bird
F: Havlicek
G: Cousy
G: Stockton

I'd put Stockton at 3, and go with Andrew's list.

Mikan probably should be a bit lower if you look at abilities, but he was such a revolution in his day, I think he deserves the #1

agreed.

I'd take Bird over mikan anyday. My list:
1. Bird
2. Stockton
3. West
4. rick barry
5. Mikan

Tue Aug 17, 2004 10:35 pm

I would too. I was just naming them in chronological order (or close enough). Having said that, Mikan is probably a little underrated these days as a result of having played in the pre-shot clock era.

Tue Aug 17, 2004 11:16 pm

Mikan played in the pre-electricity era :lol:

Kevin McHale might be another name that deserves mention.

Tue Aug 17, 2004 11:22 pm

McHale deserves mention, but he's certainly not top 5.

People seem to forget how dominating and game changing Mikan actually was. Even with glasses.

Tue Aug 17, 2004 11:27 pm

He was, didn't they originally widen the lane for him? He was great for his era that's for sure...

Tue Aug 17, 2004 11:31 pm

They did indeed. I believe he won six titles in seven years (five in the BAA/NBA, one in the now defunct NBL with the Chicago American Gears).

Kevin McHale! I knew I left someone out when I was rattling off names in my earlier post. :doh:

Wed Aug 18, 2004 6:33 am

i gotta go with

1.Bird(no doubt here)
2.Stockton(still say the best true point guard ever)
3.Mchale(guy was crazy in the post)
4.Mikan(Changed the game)
5.Cousy(same as above)



a few notes, maravich was insanly good in college and still damn good in the pros but i think counting just his nba career he is not top 5. petrovic was on his way to maybe being top 10, not sure if i would give him top 5 but he was definetly going for top 10. its to bad what happened with him. just thought he deserved a mention.

one more mention, bill walton. if injuries did not haunt him like they did he was a guarenteed top 5. he was incredible. the guy would rebound the ball and throw the outlet before even landing. sad to see such a good player have a shortened career due to injures(bo jackson anyone?)

mikan is the father of all centres.

Wed Aug 18, 2004 7:08 am

bird
west
stock
barry

fifth is a wildcard

i'll go with mullin to be different :twisted:

Wed Aug 18, 2004 7:15 am

In my eyes,Mikan is gay so is Bird.
Jason Kidd is the best.
Other legends wouldn't do nothing in these days. :cool:

I think Heidi rides Jason Kidds shit too hard

Wed Aug 18, 2004 5:45 pm

I haven't seen all of the legends play in my lifetime, but come on guys, where's West on some of the lists?

Wed Aug 18, 2004 9:59 pm

mikan is the father of all centres.

I thought Wilt was the father of all centres! He probably fathered enough children! :D
