Re: Official #74 NBA Player Of All Time According To ISH
Maurice Cheeks-Cheeks played 15 years as a point guard in the NBA (11 with the 76ers), earning four trips to the All-Star Game. He helped the 76ers earn three trips to the NBA Finals in a four-year span in the early 1980s (1980, 1982, and 1983), including one NBA championship in 1983.
In NBA history he ranks third all-time in steals and eighth all-time in assists.
Sam Cassell-Cassell was selected 24th overall by the Houston Rockets in the 1993 NBA Draft out of Florida State University. He helped them win two NBA Championships in 1994 and 1995. Cassell appears to have found a home with the Los Angeles Clippers; the NBA veteran led them into the Western Conference semi-finals in the 2006 playoffs with home court advantage in the first round.
Mark Jackson-He is currently ranked 13th on the NBA all-time games list
(1,296), 26th on the all-time minutes played list (39,121), 77th on the all-time three-point field goals made list (734), 65th on the all-time 3-point field goal attempts list (2,213), 2nd on the all-time assists list (10,323) and 23rd on the all-time steals list (1,608). While many fans feel Jackson deserves a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame, many believe the fact that he played for so many different teams hurt his chances of induction (a problem also shared by Adrian Dantley). Additionally, Jackson never achieved great individual success; despite winning Rookie of the Year in 1988, he only made one All-Star appearance in his career (1989).
Terry Porter-Porter went to the NBA Finals twice and continues to hold the NBA Finals single-game record for the most free throws made, none missed -- 15 (June 7, 1990 at Detroit). In 1,274 career games, Porter averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 assists and 1.24 steals during a career that included two All-Star berths (1991, 1993), two trips to the NBA Finals (1990, 1992) and 15,586 career points. He is 11th on the NBA’s all-time assist list (7,160). Porter has played for five of the top 36 coaches (games won) in NBA history: Pat Riley (1,110), Jack Ramsay (864), Rick Adelman (603), Gregg Popovich (339) and Flip Saunders (328).
Tim Hardaway-In his best seasons, Hardaway averaged 18 to 23 points and 8 to 10 assists per game. He reached 5000 points and 2500 assists faster than any NBA player, except Oscar Robertson. Hardaway has competed in five NBA All-Star Games. He was an MVP candidate following the 1996-97 season, making it to the All-NBA First Team after leading the Heat to the best record in franchise history while averaging 20.3 points, 8.6 assists, and being fourth in the league with 203 three-point baskets.
Dennis Johnson-Honors: NBA champion (1979, '84, '86); NBA Finals MVP (1979); All-NBA First Team (1981); All-NBA Second Team (1980); All-Defensive First Team (1979-83, '87); All-Defensive Second Team (1984-86); Five-time NBA All-Star 1979-82, '85).

They never do.
I'll go for WALT BELLAMY, last round for me it was between him and Neil Johnston. In Walt's rookie year, he put up 32 and 19, but on the new Chicago Packers franchise (no the Wizards.) The next years, he put up 28 and 17 for the Chicago Zephrys.
By his fourth season, they were in Baltimore as the Bullets and he finaly got them to the playoffs in their 4th season. He took them all the way to the division finals (now called conference finals) but came up short vs. the Lakers. But that was his last season with them as he was traded to the Knicks to form a nice frontcourt with Willis Reed.
He was traded to Detroit but enjoyed the best of his later years with thge Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks also had "Pistol" Pete Maravich and "Super" Lou Hudson and they made the playoffs all but the last season with them.

I know this seem odd, but Lebron James.
He's w/out a doubt better than Ray Allen and Vince Carter. Just because he's young doesn't mean that he's undeserving.
If players like Gary Payton were getting in at like 27, then Lebron James, who will no doubt have a better career than Payton if he isn't on the receiving end of a career ending injury, should get in at 74

You're bassing this LeBrons vote on potential?
What if LeBron just happenes to retire before the season start, you think his four seasons in the league is enough for him to be ranked the 74th greatest player of All-Time?

Michael Jordan said Richmond was one of the hardest players to defend in the NBA. "There really are no weaknesses in his game," said Jordan. "He can drive to the hoop as well as take the outside jump shot. He reminds me a lot of me in his overall offensive display."
