How Good Was Chris Mullin?

man i ****ing loved watching Mullin. what a great player he was.

his mid-range was money but he wasn't just relegated to spot up shooting. he could put the ball on the floor and score going to his left or right. he was capable of a couple quick dribbles and pulling up. i think the most frustrating thing for defenders was that he he would just nail difficult contested shots. he had a knack of finding the crease in the defense, elevating quickly and high. coming off curls was a challenge defensively because he had suck a quick release. he also had a floater in the paint he utilized. mullin was deceptively strong and could finish with contact. he had a full offensive repertoire. he had good balance in his game as well. you can't really label him as a volume shooter as he only shot the ball more than 20 times once in his career.


on defense, his quick hands allowed him to compete. he was sort of like kidd in that regard though obviously kidd was better at his position overall. so ya, he was legit...borderline top 50-60 player imo. only reason he may not be was because injuries derailed him.

top 3 of all time

The main reason he was invited to be part of the Dream Team is because of his ability to be a sharp-shooting zone-buster, not because of his playmaking or defensive skills.

The main reason is because he was one of the elite players in the league and deserved to be there.

Poor man's Ashton Kutcher

Duh! All Dream Team members were "elite" and deserved to be there, with the exception of Laettner.

Among the elite players in the league, Mullin was specifically asked to be on the team because of his abilities as a pure shooter.

Is that difficult to understand?
