Tyson Chandler's career resurgence

[CavaliersFTW]

based on accomplishments alone, would he be a top 15 all time center?

[Teanett]

Why do so many dummies on the forum think a title is the end all be all?

A RING IS A TEAMMMMMMMM ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!!!!

Lebron could walk away with 0 rings and be top 10 all time.

Malone, payton, ewing, barkley, stockton, Dominique, etc have never won rings.

Your all time status is based on your own personal production. Rings are only used to break ties between the greats

i'm not talking about chandler as a player. i'm talking about his resume.
he has one of the most impressive resumes of any center in history.

Are you freaking kidding?

George Mikan
Willis Reed
Wilt Chamberlain
Bill Russell
Wes Unseld
Dave Cowens
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Robert Parish
David Robinson
Hakeem Olajuwon
Shaquille O'Neal
Moses Malone
Bill Walton
Patrick Ewing
David Robinson

In no particular order... so uh... which center is his resume supposed to exceed?

[imdaman99]

yeah chandler is good. top 50 center maybe? definitely not top 15 lol

[chains5000]

He came in the league with huge expectations but somehow was disappointing.

I remember thinking "If only the Bulls could have Curry's offense and Chandler's defense in the same player..."

[kNicKz]

Tyson Chandler really turned the knicks defense 180 around, and I love him for that

who on that list is an nba, olympic and fiba world champion?

[DCL]

if your team doesn't need a big man to be the focal offense, chandler's your man. he does all the other traditional big stuff -- rebound and control the paint d.

but score like hakeem or duncan? he can't.

[CavaliersFTW]

who on that list is an nba, olympic and fiba world champion?

Those guys are olympic champions and/or NCAA champions, and most of those guys have multiple rings/scoring titles/rebounding titles/all NBA first team selections/MVP's/FMVP's etc

Tyson Chandlers career accolades are middle of the road compared to all-time NBA centers - get out of here thinking he's "top rank all time" because of some stupid ass assortment of FIBA/Olympic medals and one DPOY award

God damn this is not only a weak era for centers, it's a weak era for fans who pretend to know anything about how good all-time NBA centers used to be

Who on that list does Chandler have beat in on-court performance? It's the stupid Horry>insert player 8 because he has a whole bunch of rings. Chandler's a good player, I'm a big fan of the way he's played on Dallas and beyond, but to think he's top 5 amongst those men?

parish and shaq didnt win ncaa. moses sure didnt. wes unseld won the olympics?

you know those "some stupid ass assortment of FIBA/Olympic medals" that chandler has are actual titles?
you know mvp's and all-nba selections are results of a fukking poll.

granted, chandler doesnt have an mvp but everything else. if you think that's middle of the road, good on you.

would you care to read the whole thread if you want to take part in the conversation?

I did, what am I missing? On court performance counts as an accomplishment to me. You accomplish great numbers, just like Shaq accomplishes back to back to back Finals MVP's.

Shaq didn't win NCAA? How many NBA titles did he win? How many did Chandler. 5>1

i was never arguing that chandler actually is a top 15 center.
btw, i believe shaq has only 4 nba titles. you're confusing him with kobe.
