I liked Walt 'Wizard' Williams' game.

Shrempf

How dare you put The Big Smooth in conference with those scrubs, Sam is a LEGEND to the highest degree, the last player on a Jordan team to be the best player on the team, a star in Dallas, a key cog in LA, a major contributor to championship runs in Indiana and Seattle.

Sam Perkins is a basketball legend and I expect a full apology for including him in the list (though I do support the premise of this thread).

Wet from 3 96-98

:bowdown:

Slightly obscure is a tough one. So we're not looking for straight up obscure, but just slightly so? Not knowable to the general public?

Would Rex Chapman count?

92-93 he was giving everybody work

Anthony Mason was an all-star w/ Miami when people thought he was done.

Googs, Perkins and Seikaly weren't really obscure. Heck Rony was probably a top 10 center of the decade. Googs was a 20-8 player before getting injured.

Some guys I liked who weren't really popular were:


Eric Murdock:

T. Porter was a badass.

Googs? Obscure?

He had some serious game.

For you kiddies out there he was Danilo Galinari before Danilo Galinari. They even look eerily similar.

Mase was great for a minute.

That would be James Worthy, Jordan was better than Perkins the next two years.

When was he the best player on a MJ team? Jordan was Sporting News player of the year as a sophomore and junior. Worthy was best player his freshman year.

Also, I wouldn't really consider Rony an obscure player, per se.

Late '90s, but:

Robert Pack always put on a show, need to call Nate Robinson Robert Pack Jr.

I honestly had no clue who Ricky Pierce was before he spent a year in Indy when I was 10 or so years old, but that dude could score the damn ball.

Dino Radja's 2 packs a day ass.

One of the more forgotten "what if he didn't get hurt?" guys, LaPhonso Ellis.

The best player in Minnesota history before they got KG, Doug West.

The ugliest man in human history, Tyrone Hill.

Hiyo! Put the kids to bed!

[QUOTE=305Baller]Hawkins had a good run in Charlotte too[/QUOTE]

I loved the Sonics back in the early 90's so I have the most nostalgic love for Hersey when he was with them, but yea he was money on Charlotte too

When you Google Image search "Tyrone Hill" about a quarter of the results are Popeye Jones.

Ricky Pierce- one of the greatest 6th men in NBA history.

Ike Austin had a very good year with Miami.

Remember Game 5 of the '93 Finals? The guy dropped 25 on 12/14 shooting on Scottie freaking Pippen.

Amazingly, [URL="http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/276/tumblrl0wgeqcspo1qay78v.jpg"]the highlights [/URL]of Dumas in that game are available on Youtube. I love that site more and more every day.

They probably thought you googled "Ugly Muthaf*cka"

Funny.... because when I Googled "Popeye Jones," about a quarter of the results were Tyrone Hill.


They are forever linked, like Bird and Magic. :bowdown:
