Patrick Ewing and David Robinson were overrated

[rlsmooth775]

These guys were like james harden superstars in the regular season and under achieve in the playoffs. Greatest era of big men hahahahah those guys were clowns

[JohnFreeman]

Ewing the GOAT choker

[Soundwave]

I would take a prime DRob over anyone in the league today. 30/12-13/2-3 block per easy. Scoring champ + defensive player of the year.

He would eat this era's pansy bigs alive.

Robinson just ran into an even more clutch force in the playoffs (Hakeem). To be honest the Spurs never really had great teams around DRob.

Sean Elliot was a decent no.2 option but not elite. Rodman was a headcase that even the Bulls could barely manage.

Why was he so awful against the Jazz?

[Young X]

Name more than 1 elite player playing right now who isn't an "underachiever in the playoffs".

Both of them would murder this league.

Which series specifically?

The Jazz were a pretty damn good team too, probably like the modern Spurs of their era, they frustrated a lot of teams that had "more talent" on paper including a prime Shaq and his Lakers.

1994- 20, 10, 4 on 41%
1996- 19 & 9 on 48%
1998- 19 & 13 on 40%

No shame in having bad series' against the Jazz, Utah had a way of frustrating certain teams. Had their way with Shaq's Lakers for several years too. But that 94 Spurs didn't really have a go to no.2 scorer either -- it was basically Dale Ellis.

The Jazz were a great team too, the 97 and 98 Finals are probably the hardest the Bulls had to work to win their titles.

The West was really interesting back then because it seemed like every team had another team that was their kryptonite ... Houston couldn't beat Seattle, Utah had huge problems with Houston, Seattle had problems with Phoenix, etc. etc.

[D-FENS]

I'd take admiral over anyone in today's NBA. Ewing I would take over everyone but KD

[Noob Saibot]

Ewing and Robinson by themselves would DESTROY today's league. Dwight Howard who?

[Soundwave]

The 90s wasn't just the best era for centers it was probably the best era for power forwards too.

Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Shawn Kemp, Dennis Rodman, Chris Webber etc.

There were a lot of talented "bigs".

Dirk, KG, Dunc on or above the tier that the 90's PFs were on and the PFs bolded are overrated as fvck.

Still the 90's at the least are 1a/1b of PFs with the 2000's. They're still arguably GOAT PF era.

Yeah he never averaged that in the playoffs he was just a james harden regular season star

The 97 98 jazz team might have been great in the watered down era but let's not lie. They were a average offensive team. Most of the teams from 97-98 couldn't score look it up

[Stringer Bell]

Ewing being the 4th best center 20 years ago and Howard being the best center of the past few years tells you something about the state of centers in the NBA.

They both suck Ewing did nothing impressive I'm tired of people overrating him biggest choker of all the stars james harden esque

[Soundwave]

Hakeem's numbers in the 95 series vs. DRob

35 ppg, 12 rpg, 5 apg, 4 blocks per :oldlol:

Unreal.

DRob had a "poor" series at

24 ppg, 11 rpg, 2 blocks per

All these guys would f**king murder the league today where 6'10 Dwight Howard is the best "center", lol.

The problem with the Spurs was they didn't really have a consistent no.2 option around DRob, that made it easier for teams to collapse and game plan on him in a 7 game series.

They wouldn't murder anything being the best center would mean nothing these guys were constant chokers no impressive playoff games d rob was a bitch and so was pedo Malone

[rlsmooth775]

Answer the question:

Your question makes no sense Patrick Ewing in his entire playoff career did nothing special. I wasn't even talking about current players

[Soundwave]

People talk about Ewing like he did something he did nothing amazing in the playoffs ever people need to stop pretending the 90s had dominant players

If you put 90s players in today's game

1. Jordan
2. Shaq
3. LeBron
4. Hakeem
5. DRob
6. Durant
7. Malone
8. Barkley
9. Ewing
10. Carmelo


7 of the 10 best players would be from the 90s and it's debatable whether Carmelo really is better than say a Pippen or (healthy) Grant Hill or just a volume scorer like Dominque Wilkins was. I kinda just put him in the top 10 to be nice.

I'm not comparing eras I'm just pointing out how overrated the 90s was

[rlsmooth775]

Sound wave why did Ewing Barkley Hakeem jordan stockton and pedo only have successful seasons in the 90s . Look at their crap opponents and teams 96-99 was weak as hell those teams sucked at scoring the 97 Utah jazz are garbage not even a top 30 team

Ewing in his era did absolutely nothing just like Howard today why is he and d rob who was carried by Duncan remembered as legends

Because there's a dynasty out there spamming all the titles.

[stephanieg]

I'd agree with Ewing. He was kinda clunky and stiff. And his go to move was a travel. He'd be pretty awesome today, but all time? Eh.

D-Rob was a physical specimen, like some mad scientist wanted to make the perfect basketball body. A freak of nature in the open court. Too nice, though.

Exactly, he just didn't have that killer instinct like MJ

[MiseryCityTexas]

David Robinson scored 70 points in a game.

Why couldn't these players whose primes were in the 90s only win in the 90s?

OK.

So why couldn't Shaq and Kobe win a title in the weak, overrated, garbage 90s.

Your answer is going to be because they were young and not in their primes yet, which is the reason guys like Jordan, Ewing etc didn't have their main success until the 90s.

(BTW if you are legally retarded I apologize to you and your parents.)

90's was a lot more balanced as far as competition goes compared to how it is today. Damn near every NBA team in the 90s had at least one All Star caliber player on almost every team, unlike how it is today.

[SCdac]

But how would these combos work out?

Robinson - Wade - Bosh - Allen
Robinson - Prime Shaq
Robinson - Pierce - Allen - Rondo
Robinson - Penny Hardaway
Robinson - Scottie Pippen - Rodman

He never was a part of team like that, sometimes he buckled because he had to do too much. He had: Old 37 year old Nique, Sean Elliott, Rodman with no offense, Dale Ellis on the tale end of his career, Avery Johnson, etc.

[Hoopz2332]

Robinson doesn't have any real memorable playoff moments besides getting styled on by Hakeem.

I would take peak Wade, CP3 and Lebron any day over Drob and Ewing.
