Bob Cousy

[fsvr54]

Pippen? LOL


Isaiah Thomas is my vote

[kennethgriffin]

bob cousy not only accomplished way more than zeke..

he did 10 times more to help grow the game of basketball

people on ISH = voting 10 time all nba 1st team, 6 time nba champion ( 2 legit finals mvps uncredited ) and regular season MVP

out of the top 25 all time?



cousy literally invented "flashy" guard styles, behind the back passes, no looks, reverse layups, touch passes, between the legs passes

ISH, where if you don't agree with Griff, you're wrong and/or an idiot.

[Ne 1]

Scottie Pippen.

The GOAT perimeter defender, was a MVP caliber player, and at least a top 5 player (and the best all-around player) and the best SF in his prime. 6 rings, 9 conference finals, and 16 consecutive years in the playoffs. One of the best rebounding small forwards of all time, one of the best play making forwards of all time, a leader on the court and a winner, plus a long, athletic player who gave you over 20+ ppg.

6'8" with a 7'2" wingspan, but he pretty much played point guard offensively, a great finisher, excellent basketball IQ, deadly in transition, good post up player, capable 3 point shooter, he could rebound as well as some power forwards and one of the rare perimeter players who could impact a game defensively like an elite defensive big man.

Cousy was so dominant that he just needs to stop to fake out his defenders :applause:

[Kblaze8855]

Winning 6 rings on a team that won 5 without you means next to nothing to me.

Winning 6 rings on a team that won 5 without you means next to nothing to me.

Quote of the year.

You're right, Cousy's accomplishments mean nothing.

:facepalm

Pippen.

[TheeBeast]

Isiah Thomas

[Lordragoonx1x]

Isiah. I just can't believe he has fallen this low he should really be in the low 20's.

[fpliii]

Isiah. I just can't believe he has fallen this low he should really be in the low 20's.

I've been voting for him since 16, it's a travesty that Karl Malone in particular is ahead of him

the last two polls I've changed my vote to Cousy, since I'm afraid he'll fall as well

[PJR]

Dirk.

Which years would Cousy have been finals MVP?

[Coffee Black]

So can we conclude that posters on ISH (at least those that are voting) favor the 90s NBA?

I vote Isiah Thomas!

Depending on where you place Shaq, the 2000s is more favored. Tells you something about the voting.

people like Barkley because of the whole story about him being small and fat. He was a great talent but he never had a season as good as 2009 Wade had and a playoffs run that Wade had in 2006


FACT!

**** fat boy

[iamgine]

Havlicek already made it, why not Dave Cowens.

Could be wrong but I thought Dave Cowens was the franchise player and Havlicek was his sidekick.

Naw, they had a Frazier/Reed or Baylor/West relationship.

It wasn't so much Jordan/Pippen.

Hondo didn't really come into the picture until Russell's last 2 seasons or so.

It was more Russell/Sam Jones then.

Good post.

Barkley and KG are the two worst rankings on this list overall. None of them had what it took to bring a team to a title as the alpha dog. No idea why their ranked so high. KG gets his **** sucked on this site and people overrate Barkleys playing career because they like him as an analyst. Sad, but it's the truth.

I will be voting for Wade

[WockaVodka]

Dwyane Wade, he is easily the best player left so he should be voted in.

And Wade did? :lol

It took Shaq coming on board to put him over the top the first time and Lebron carried him to his second title.

C'mon don't just pull stuff out of your butt and hope nobody notices the stench

2006 Finals Stats
Shaq: 13.7 PPG 10.2 RPG
Wade: 34.7 PPG 7.8 RPG

Back to the kiddy pool for you. If you actually think Shaq was the best player on the 2006 Heat LMFAO!!!!! In the wins in that series Wade averaged over 40 PPG. It took every ounce of strength,will, and determination from his body to get Miami that championship that year. We will never see anyone win a title single-handily as Wade did that year.

[magnax1]

Ill go with Rick Barry. Wade's probably just as good though.

Yeah no rebuttal kid, that's what I ****ing thought.

Find me proof that the series was rigged. Don't worry kid I'll wait. Dallas would get in foul trouble early in the quarters which ultimately kept them permanently in the penalty which resulted in free throws in all additional fouls. Noone on Dallas could stay in front of Wade.

I don't know if I'd call the series rigged, but I'd say the refs sure as hell helped, I mean Jesus Christ look at this stuff:

Besides the nice accomplishments he has, he faced ridicilous competition while winning his 2 BACK-TO-BACK championships, constantly embarrassing a prime Jordan and the same later to Bird and Magic teams.... Officially ending the showtime Lakers & Celtics era and embarrassing Jordan while doing it aswell.... has to mean something....

The pivotal play in the series was a call that led to free throws.

Phantom Foul2: Devin Harris has his arm around Wades left arm as hes driving to the basket. In the no handcheck era this is illegal.

Phantom Foul 5: This is a bad call and should be a no call, but when theres a big bump like that which causes bodies to go flying a lot of time the refs get pressured into making a call one way or the other. Usually the offensive player gets the benefit of the doubt. This is just a common occurence in the NBA and happens in all games really.

Pivotal Game 5 play: Here is a pic of that foul which was called.
http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2007/1121/nba_g_wade_300.jpg

That is a foul. So out of an entire series you give me 3 plays, two of them justifiable calls and say that one bad call caused the series? This is Human error, and it will always happen in sports with referees. I'm sure if you watch closely you can find some BS calls Dallas got in their favor. It happens, and if you can't find me more than one bad play I have no inclination to believe you.

Next.

He got a foul after the wrangling. Not during. Thus, bad call.

:facepalm . The foul was called on Dirk. Not Harris. And if you watched the video, Dirk really had no business with Wade in that play. And Wade shoved Terry, which isn't shown in the picture and could've had a foul against it. Plus, that looks like a backcourt vilation right there as well. A picture does not equal a play.

So the refs called a foul on the wrong player? Big deal unless it puts someone in foul trouble(which wasn't the case). Harris is clearly grabbing Wades arm which is a foul. Lol @ arguing that Wade shouldn't go to the line for that.

Looks like your just another "Miami Heat refs 2006 title rigged!!!" bandwagoner who hears it once, jumps on the ride, and can't back it up.
