Re: #34 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
[QUOTE=pauk]Reed is already voted in, you maybe mean Wes Unseld? If not, what do you think about him? I feel like he is getting very underrated here, is it maybe because he didnt have such a long career or wasnt such a great scorer i dont know...[/QUOTE]
Unseld was great. However, we're only on number 34. His time will come.
I agree with GOAT: the next few picks should be Schayes, Cowens and Walton. I'd then be looking at Unseld and Gervin.
Drexler comes after those guys, as does Elvin Hayes.
People really need to read up on players like Hayes and McAdoo before getting too excited by their stats; McAdoo was a lazy defender and both he and Hayes settled far too much for the jump shot. Both were black holes on offense.
Many insiders complained about Hayes' attitude. Personally, I think he was hilarious and always spoke his mind.

Forreal, I've never seen people put McAdoo this high. Imma change my vote on Drexler though, I forgot about Walton. Don't know much about Schayes and while Cowens seemed to be a real gritty, tough player, from what I've seen he wasn't nearly as good as Walton.
Where do you have McHale?

Oh shoot Bill Walton has not been mention yet really. I know he was injured a lot but that title run in Portland.

Re: #34 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
I'll count kurple's vote for Allen Iverson since he voted him in that last thread when it was already over.
Lots of variety on this one, 12 players have received a vote. I don't understand Bill Walton getting this much votes this high? So many injuries and missed games, along with only a few elite seasons.
Re: #34 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
Allen Iverson
[B]MVP[/B]
[B]ROY[/B]
All Rookie 1st
[B]11 All Star Games [/B](should have been more)
2x All Star MVP
[B]3x NBA 1st[/B]
3x NBA 2nd
[B]4x Scoring Champ[/B]
#7 in career regular season PPG
[B]#2 in career playoffs PPG[/B]
that's more impressive than some guys mentioned

I voted for Nate Thurmond...just threw out Walton because I think he should be on the list soon.
Re: #34 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
[B]Elvin Hayes[/B], easily imo
Should have been named Finals MVP in '78
He averaged 22/12/1 on 58% with 2 bpg
Unseld who won the FMVP averaged 9/12/4 on 52% with 0 bpg

Hayes led the entire Playoffs in points that year.
Hayes led his team in points, rebounds, and blocks in the '78 playoffs when they won the Championship, so he was clearly the best player on the team.
8th all-time on the NBA scoring list with 27,313 points
4th alltime on the NBA rebounding list with 16,279 rebounds
20th all-time in blocks with 1,771
NBA champion (1978)
**Robbed of Finals MVP (1978)

He put up very impressive numbers in short amount of time
'77 - 19-13-4 and 3.2 blocks/gm in only 35 minutes/gm
'78 - 19-13-5 and 2.5 blocks/gm game in only 33 minute/gm (won MVP)
Was his injuries the reason for the low minutes?

Ive watched some of those games. Ive watched some of their games together from before that as well(75 for one).
Unseld was the best player in the games I saw. Dude was doing everything...but scoring. I can see why the players voted him MVP in 69. He was a lot better than his numbers. Not that they were poor.

So Hayes who led the team in pts, reb, and blks for the Playoffs the year they won, wasn't the best player?
Was Unseld some God-like defender being the reason why he was the best on the team?
Obviously 'm just looking at stats though so I wouldn't know for sure, but when the gap is that big, it seems weird that Unseld was considered better by some.
Re: #34 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
voting Drexler, might go Thurmond next
I really don't know what to say about Hayes/Unseld, since I haven't watched a lot of tape of either...I guess I should check out the 78/79 Finals (unfortunately my knowledge only extends back to the 1980 playoffs, the earliest for which we have complete games on youtube, last I checked)
