Tremendous research, glad to have you back on the board, and thanks a ton for sharing your knowledge with us.
GOAT thread is GOAT.
Agree with others. This thread is great and is really helping me educate myself a little more on some of the lesser known basketball pioneers and players before my time. Kudos GOAT. You know the comments will start pouring in like crazy once we get into the top 50-75 area and on when we get to the stars we all know and have many opinions on.
[QUOTE=L.Kizzle]Who was the Pacers best player Sam Perkins?
I'm a huge Marion fan but he cant be the best player on your team.[/QUOTE]
I'd say smite but there are a variety of people you could say. They were similar to the 2000s pistons in that they had a lot of good players but no great ones. Chauncey billups shouldn't have been good enough to be the best player on a champion either but he was. Sometimes you don't really have a best player.
I understand(and agree with) the point you are making. Marion couldn't be a go to guy. But considering you weren't winning a title with anyone outside of the top 50 as your best player(if that many) tha fact is much less important in ranking people outside that number.
Btw on the suns list wouldn't Kidd have to be on it somewhere? I know he wasn't there all that long but that version of Kidd was absolutely amazing
Great thread.
I've always been impressed by Tom Chambers' game. He had a unique combination of skills, and was just fun to watch.

[SIZE="3"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]-[SIZE="6"]A[/SIZE]nother undersized guard from a small college who played a vital supporting role for an NBA Champion in the early eighties, Maurice Cheeks was often compared to Norm Nixon during their playing days. Drafted in 1978 out of the Missouri Valley Conference, Cheeks first got noticed when scouts went to see Indiana State
How the hell is Chambers above Lou Hudson and Jack Twyman? :biggums:
Nixon and Cheeks 2 underrated guarda (along with Mike Ray and Fat Lever and Blackman ans Gus Williams and Alvin Robertson and Jim Paxson. )

[SIZE="3"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]-[SIZE="6"]I[/SIZE]f only we had 82.games.com when Chet Walker played. The Clutch stats they track today are so important because of players like
I think Chet along with Gus Johnson were the two most underrated forwards of the 60s and early 70s.
Great thread, but if you keep up with this pace it will take years to complete :D
