Patrick Ewing and David Robinson were overrated

[BlkMambaGOAT]

The 90s wasn't just the best era for centers it was probably the best era for power forwards too.

Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Shawn Kemp, Dennis Rodman, Chris Webber etc.

There were a lot of talented "bigs".

Dirk, KG, Dunc on or above the tier that the 90's PFs were on and the PFs bolded are overrated as fvck.

Still the 90's at the least are 1a/1b of PFs with the 2000's. They're still arguably GOAT PF era.

I would take a prime DRob over anyone in the league today. 30/12-13/2-3 block per easy. Scoring champ + defensive player of the year.

He would eat this era's pansy bigs alive.

Robinson just ran into an even more clutch force in the playoffs (Hakeem). To be honest the Spurs never really had great teams around DRob.

Sean Elliot was a decent no.2 option but not elite. Rodman was a headcase that even the Bulls could barely manage.

Yeah he never averaged that in the playoffs he was just a james harden regular season star

No shame in having bad series' against the Jazz, Utah had a way of frustrating certain teams. Had their way with Shaq's Lakers for several years too. But that 94 Spurs didn't really have a go to no.2 scorer either -- it was basically Dale Ellis.

The Jazz were a great team too, the 97 and 98 Finals are probably the hardest the Bulls had to work to win their titles.

The West was really interesting back then because it seemed like every team had another team that was their kryptonite ... Houston couldn't beat Seattle, Utah had huge problems with Houston, Seattle had problems with Phoenix, etc. etc.

The 97 98 jazz team might have been great in the watered down era but let's not lie. They were a average offensive team. Most of the teams from 97-98 couldn't score look it up

Ewing being the 4th best center 20 years ago and Howard being the best center of the past few years tells you something about the state of centers in the NBA.

They both suck Ewing did nothing impressive I'm tired of people overrating him biggest choker of all the stars james harden esque

[Soundwave]

Hakeem's numbers in the 95 series vs. DRob

35 ppg, 12 rpg, 5 apg, 4 blocks per

Unreal.

DRob had a "poor" series at

24 ppg, 11 rpg, 2 blocks per

All these guys would f**king murder the league today where 6'10 Dwight Howard is the best "center", lol.

The problem with the Spurs was they didn't really have a consistent no.2 option around DRob, that made it easier for teams to collapse and game plan on him in a 7 game series.

Name the elite players right now who aren't "chokers" or "underachievers".

People talk about Ewing like he did something he did nothing amazing in the playoffs ever people need to stop pretending the 90s had dominant players

They wouldn't murder anything being the best center would mean nothing these guys were constant chokers no impressive playoff games d rob was a bitch and so was pedo Malone

Answer the question:

Your question makes no sense Patrick Ewing in his entire playoff career did nothing special. I wasn't even talking about current players

If you put 90s players in today's game

1. Jordan
2. Shaq
3. LeBron
4. Hakeem
5. DRob
6. Durant
7. Malone
8. Barkley
9. Ewing
10. Carmelo


7 of the 10 best players would be from the 90s and it's debatable whether Carmelo really is better than say a Pippen or (healthy) Grant Hill or just a volume scorer like Dominque Wilkins was. I kinda just put him in the top 10 to be nice.

I'm not comparing eras I'm just pointing out how overrated the 90s was

Sound wave why did Ewing Barkley Hakeem jordan stockton and pedo only have successful seasons in the 90s . Look at their crap opponents and teams 96-99 was weak as hell those teams sucked at scoring the 97 Utah jazz are garbage not even a top 30 team
