Who is your favorite FORGOTTEN-ABOUT NBA player of all time?

[insidehoops]

And, what was cool about that player?

[bullettooth]

Mitch Richmond.

[And1AllDay]

Steve Francis

[superduper]

Andre Miller's game was sick to watch

[NBAGOAT]

[Gougou]

Probably Gilbert Arenas.

[Akeem34TheDream]

[FKAri]

[Jasper]

anthony toney of the 6er's.

God could that guy stroke it.

Another Earl the Pearl Monroe of the Bullets and Knicks.

His playground handles and shot were memorizing.

[Overdrive]

Dale Ellis. Dude could be a star in the current NBA.

[Objectivity]

LeBeon James

[E_Stamkos]

Bobby Jackson

[E_Stamkos]

michael redd could really shoot

He'd be vying for all nba status if he played today

[NBAGOAT]

He'd be vying for all nba status if he played today

idk about that, guard is pretty stacked right now. Beal and klay didnt make it etc. He definitely be a multiple all star guy appearance guy however and deserved a few more for his time.

[Round Mound]

Walt Williams: his style reminded me of Earl the Pearl Monroe

[HylianNightmare]

Steve Francis
Yes. He held me over after tmac left Orlando

[Vino24]

Antoine Walker, Big Baby Davis. Not the greatest players but they were entertaining as hell

[Patrick Chewing]

[RoseCity07]

I think my first favorite players were Kenny Anderson and Cliff Robinson.

I bet 95% of NBA fans don't know who Kenny Anderson is.

[Big_Dogg]

The X Man Xavier McDaniel and Sam Perkins

[MrFonzworth]

anthony toney of the 6er's.

God could that guy stroke it.

Another Earl the Pearl Monroe of the Bullets and Knicks.

His playground handles and shot were memorizing.
Andrew*

The Boston Strangler.

[E_Stamkos]

Cliffard J was a savvy chap.

Loved Kenny when he played on Boston lol

[Big164]

KJ

[Norcaliblunt]

Rex Chapman

[Bosnian Sajo]

Brandon Roy.


Man that guy was good, it's a shame what happened to his knees...Blazers really got screwed in the 2000's.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Oh and Rasheed Wallace of course. Even as a Lakers fan, I couldn't help but love those Pistons teams. He was my dads favorite player so naturally I liked him too.

[Manny98]

Mookie Blaylock

One of the best perimeter defenders of all time that no one ever talks about

[Derka]

Bernard King

Even though he was a Piston, watching Vinnie the Microwave Johnson get hot was a sight to see.

[34-24 Footwork]

Monta Ellis.

His ability to pick up his dribble, spin off the defender, running full speed from the freethrow line was exciting as fvck. Still haven't seen a guy that size replicate that.

A super athletic and acrobatic guard at his size

[Wally450]

I don't have an answer on the spot, but seeing some of these names really brings me back.

[elementally morale]

Eddie Jones and Cedric Ceballos

[LeCola]

T-mac and Yao as a duo.

Yao is only 38, T-mac is only 40 now.

[ErhnamDjinn]

the old Suns core when Kidd was in Phoenix, Tom Gugliotta , Antonio Mcdyes, Rodney Rogers and Uncle Cliffy.

[Miles and Miles]

Shawn Marion always amazed me at how good he was because he didn't really pass the eyeball test but he was good anyways.

[LostCause]

Shawn Marion was one of my favorites. A huge impact player who didn’t get all the credit he deserved

As a Bulls fan, Ben Gordon was huge for us so many times

[AirFederer]

Shawn Kemp

[fsvr54]

Glen Rice and Joe Dumars

Also love the mentions of Sheed, Richmond and Chapman. All among my favorites.

[sammichoffate]

Brandon Roy.


Man that guy was good, it's a shame what happened to his knees...Blazers really got screwed in the 2000's.This, he was easily top 5 at his position and possibly top 10 overall.

[houston]

otis thorpe very underrated player who was the Rockets second best player during 94 title run

[Celtics 1825]

James Posey, he was a key part of that 2008 chip.

[bizil]

Tom Chambers would be tremendous in today's game. Was WAY AHEAD of his time as 6'10 freak athletic combo forward type. Larry Nance in terms of his two way ability and positional versatility was ALSO ahead of his time for a 6'10 freak athletic combo forward type. The league LOVED playing supersized lineups back in the day.

In today's era of positionless hoops and less physicality, BOTH would thrive big time in today's game. Chambers and Nance don't get their props for helping evolve what 6'10 and up players did on the court! Guys their size were C, PF, or PF-C types. Chambers and Nance were combo forward types at 6'10! Wasn't common at all when they broke in the league!

[LukeWalton]

Bill Laimbeer

people only remember his bad boy play, or his curious relationship with Dumars off the court..


but totally forget he was a legitimate center
a daily double-double machine for most of his career

[Noyze]

Andrei Kirilenko
Bob Sura
Bonzi Wells

[Elosha]

Joe Dumars
World B. Free
Bernard King

[bobopenguin]

gotta be deron.
man, i miss that dude.

Tom Chambers.

Dude could score with the best of them. Could score from the inside or outside, and drive and dunk on anyone. Ask Mark Jackson about his dunks. :oldlol:

[TheMan]

Penny Hardaway had the talent to be a GOAT PG, loved watching him until injuries robbed him of a HOF career.

[72-10]

Among players I didn't see play live, I'd say Jeff Ruland. If we could only find his postgame rant about the Celtics - I forget which playoffs this applied to; it actually might not be 84.

Some other favorites are Dee Brown of Illinois, Kirk Hinrich, and Juan Dixon.
