I guess all those ignorant Trailblazer fans that were saying Rudy Fernandez was as good as Brandon Roy can now shut up.

Same as those folks who swore up and down that Ricky Rubio was a better NBA prospect then Derrick Rose.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fools are funny!!!!

Great to see what Coleman is doing in detroit. Now that is a real kat giving back.

LOL……….at Webber throwing those shoes at Barkley.

HAHA man westbrook is killing calderon……….the raps lost to the thunder……….LOL!!!

Can’t blame that on smith now.

I hear you Temple but in the modern NBA normally you have a dominate 7 footer and a dominate wing when winning rings. Webber at 6-9 and coleman at 6-10 were never large enough to be dominate big men. The last dominate big man I have seen who was 6-10 or smaller was hakeem even though he was listed at 7 feet he was 6-10.

Also those guys were listed as PF. Most PF from malone to barkley (except Duncan who is a Center). Have always had inside and outside games. Now you could say maybe it was coaching. Realize that if they were developed to be centers their games would have been different.

But it amazes me how they list these euro big men (PF) as so fundamental when players like rasheed, Webber, Barkley and Coleman. Are the most fundamental PF (on the offensive side) I have ever seen in my life. From passing (Barkley and Webber) to outside shooting and the ability to put the ball on the floor and create. And most of all post up………..something guys like Dirk and Barganni have never done.

HAHA Devin Harris treated the Mavs liek 2 dollar whores……..41 points and 10 assists………..yeap he is the weekend warrior. He does this every weekend.

That’s interesting. No love for Ray Allen or Rip. I presume you mean for a regular season.

Mike Fratello, the oft-fired Mike Fratello, is on CRACK about the defensive potential of the Phoenix Suns. Defense begins with an attitude, energy and enthusiasm they simply do not have. The Suns haven’t played defense in 40 years. Why would they start now?

My take on Coleman, Webber and Wallace is that all 3 of them were just a little too smart for their coaches and the league. They simply know tooo much about toooo many things to follow explicitly stupid orders about unimportant things. They’re the soldiers who would fight a corrupt commander to the death over an illegal command — but they still knew how to throw a damn good party.

I did wisht that each of them spent more time playing a conventional game because their unique skills would have garnered more gold (championships). What’s done is done. At the least, Derrick Coleman will always have the memory of having Brad Daugherty, Hot Rod Williams and Larry Nance for lunch for 2 weeks in the playoffs back in the day.
