Luc Longley?
As an aussie who never really got to see any of longley's career. What can anyone tell me about his game..
|
Re: Luc Longley?
A decent role player who got paid because he played for a crazy Bulls team.Never averaged over 6 rebounds or 30 minutes in his career.
|
Re: Luc Longley?
he was slow, but fit in well with the Bulls. A mediocre rebounder at best, but he was reliable in the triangle, hitting the 15 ft jumper from the corners off passes.
You should be proud of Bogut though. As long as he can stay healthy, he will take the Bucks far this year. |

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccc ccccccccc from the stands.
MJ used to get on him for not finishing with a dunk sometimes. |
Re: Luc Longley?
probably the worst starting center of any championship winning team ever
|
Re: Bulls fans used to chant
He was a bigger factor than many people think on the 2nd threepeat, mainly because he was 7-2 280 and could hit the open jumper. He was essential in the Bulls beating teams with elite centers.

Re: Bulls fans used to chant
All I have to say, is thank god Rodman could guard any big man in the league at that time.
Luc hit open shots, because nobody took him seriously. But he got the job done. On any other playoff team, Luc Longley would have been a bench player. Not to hate on Luc so much, he earned his paycheck. |

First of all I lived in Chicago for over 20 years and watched almost every Bulls game in my basement with my family. Secondly, the text you quoted doesn't say anything about Jordan getting on Luc for not finishing plays with dunks [it talks about him telling Pip not to pass it to Luc on the break and about him not catching passes]....I got my info from a game where he tricked a layup and the announcers were talking about how he should have dunked the ball [Jordan was giving him an earful]. Lastly, son, please don't bother grown folks with your nonsense....please, it's unbecoming of a young man. |
Re: Luc Longley?
Another thing I recall is that the Bulls used to get Luc involved in the game early. I remember him scoring most of his buckets early in the game.

Re: Luc Longley?
Funny seeing Luc's name today, I spotted a pic of him and his wife in a local mag just today, he was at some event, wearing a suit and a pair of chucks. He's nearly 2 foot taller than his wife. His white man afro is still strong.

Luc Longley is in the Philippines. LL was a decent NBA Center. He greatly benefited while playing under the Triangle Offense. 1997-1998 was his best statistical season. |
Re: Luc Longley?
I always thought that Longley was underrated. He was a skilled big man, with an adequate offensive game, including a nice short- to mid-range jumper. He also ran the floor well.
Defensively, he altered some shots and clogged up the lane. Suffice it to say that he would be in the upper-echelon of big men if he were playing today. |
Re: Luc Longley?

Sounds more like the Kwame MJ drafted than the Longley I remember. He had skills. I watched him throughout his college career at New Mexico against BYU and Utah. |
