How Good Was Chris Mullin?

I didn't watch him more than a handful of times on tape and this is a question I'd like answered. When we watch footage/stats he looks like a beast but when discussing top SG's and SF's I never hear him mentioned.

Over a 5 season stretch he averaged 25.6 ppg. What's more is when you look at his career numbers he did more than just score. Career 4.5 rpg and 4 apg to go with nearly 2 steals a game. He also had elite shooting efficiency from all over the floor.

Anybody putting up 25.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 4 apg and 2 steals on elite shooting now would be an all star starter probably. So let me ask those who watched a lot of him live. How good was Chris Mullin? How come he's never talked about?

Because that's all he was ? An All-star.

Truth, because he's white and most of todays youth, would say he couldn't play in todays league because of these so called next gen athletes....:rolleyes:

A flat top. You should go with Wesley Snipes one from Demolition Man.

Like an " upper class" Larry bird when he was healthy.

Overall very good shooter, automatic mid-range.

Savvy offensive player, crafty passer.

Pretty good defender, not great but better than "decent."

Very good IQ.

Injuries began his decline after a 5 straight seasons of 25ppg over 50%. His first few seasons battled with alcohol abuse.

I find it funny how some people don't think he deserved the Hall. Dude had an amazing basketball career - amateur, international and professional.

He was boderline top 10 in those years.

fan86-ception. :eek:

Poor man's Larry Bird...which considering Larry Bird is an ATG, is not too shabby.

5 consecutive seasons of 25+ PPG on 50+% shooting from a SG/SF is unheard of. :eek:

Different league, different players and mentality. Scoring was the way to go especially on that team! Inflated numbers resulted, but he was a great player. I don't know about dream teamer but what the hell..
