Primo "The hitman" Brezec:
Why?
Many dont know this, but primo is a for hire assasin, and a contractible hit man. Playing basketball as a cover up in europe, Primo worked for the Russian Mafia carrying out needed hits within game areas. On the side he ran an illegal gambling and prostitution ring. Donnie Walsh with ties to the Russian Mafia and black market, contacted primo on several occasions for interests outside of basketball. Primo was eventually brought into the crime family known as the Indianapolis Pacers,where he sat on the bench and conducted security and other illegal activities, like physical and verbal threatening of refs players and fans. (This is in fact how the pacers got to the ECF so many years.) Primo eventually found Christ Jesus and resigned from his life of crime in lue of better, freer life. Requesting a trade, Primo was surprisingly picked up by the Charlotte bobcats in an expansion draft. We all know the story from there.
Beat that Mr.Walters.

that's a BIG load of balony
[quote=Lax4422Chik1342]Former Boston Celtic of the late 50s and early 60s, Jim Loskotoff was on the roster strictly to be a thug on the court similar to the goon of hockey teams past. if a player got hot Auerbach in one of his psychological ploys would tell Loskotoff to go out and mug the player, he was a 6ft 5 gorila that looked the part, I mean he put the ugggg in ugly. He looked like that ruff neck thug in the Godfather 1, Luca Brazi, the Don's number one strong man.
I never saw it but I've heard old-timers say in Wilt's rookie year he was destroying Russell so Red sent in Loskotoff to ruff Wilt up a bit and after a hard foul Wilt picked him up by the chest with one hand and told him never to do that again, and he never did.
One of the most hard nose players who would never back down and who would have players bigger and heavier than him bounce off him like a rubber ball against a handball court wall was [B]Paul Silas[/B], what a rebounder, he was the key to the Walton led Trailbalzer's glory years, when Bill gets on a roll he will talk marvels about him. Paul also served as Lebron's father in the beginning.
One of the toughest guards built like a fireplug was no-nonsense Al Attles who was with both the Philly and SF Warriors before become a coach for the Golden State edition
The big money made by the players today have eased tensions between them, there's too much lovey-dovey going on before games among opposing players, they are too soft in attitude. The Lakers and the Knicks or Celtics or other rivals never fratenized in the past, there was genuine dislike, now both teams have dinner and party together before and after games.[/quote]
i loved pauls silas-- we called him "chairman of the boards" and he was a main reason the sonics won it all in 79
walton's enforcer was maurice lucas
but every team had a guy like that-- to protect the stars and to be enforcers on the court
[QUOTE]that's a BIG load of balony[/QUOTE]
True, but my brother-in-law and i made it up at a playoff game along time ago when we seen Primo looking sad on the bench in a mafia suit.
aint know real thugs in the League...Maybe Steven Jackson ..he is still a member of the BLOODS.........Iverson aint know thug,he just portrays a certain image,I got tatoos,had Cornrows and Dreads,does that make me a thug two???

Sho yo right, my bad....I goofed on the Walton end of the post, Mo Lucas was the enforcer, similar player to Silas. Just like the Big Red, I toked too many Panama Reds in the 70s, it has taken its toil.
,
If "Downtown" Freddie Brown would've played against the Lakers or as he did against the Lakers in all of his other matches he would be in the Hall of Fame and a Top 100 NBA player. He was the number one Laker killer throughout the 70s, I dispised him for beating us so much
Don't forget how well my El Lay homie Dee Jay Johnson played in the rematch series against the Unseld, Chenier(what a shooter), Big E Hayes, Dandridge etc led Bullets that they lost to the year before in part die to Dennis' poor play. The Baltimore team had a forward by the name of Mitch Kupka. The Sonics were indeeed super, Jack Sikma, Gus Williams and Lonnie Sheldon are some of the names I recollect
Now: Stephen Jackson?? I'm not sure...nobody is very bad ass anymore.
All-Time: Charles Oakley

ai dont portray nothin dude is just being himself, what you see is the real deal. he never called himself a thug, other people label him one. a cat like ai will never front or act like he's somethin he's not because he has lived a certain lifestyle. i've been around ai a few times and he is a real dude.
Alex: This NBA team has the largest collection of thugs ever assembled in one location, and even has a nickname which accurately portrays this amusing fact.
Yes, Optimus?
Optimus: Who are the Denver Thuggets?
Alex: Correct. They are also known as the Denver Nuggets.
Optimus: YESSSSS!
Yeah, I don
