Solid players from the NBA nobody remembers

[therealdope]

His legacy will live with Doncic

Maybe.

 

[PRESIDENT TRUMP]

Maybe.

Doncic is obsessed with him and already at age 20 is a better player.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Another guy that kinda gets lost in the shuffle of time is Sleepy Floyd.

Great call! Loved Sleepy!

As a Nets fan the cruelest thing was when Petrovic died. Finally had our guy and then he gets killed.

He was a beautiful player. Not complete by any stretch, but a dude who was on his way to being a 50/40/90/ guy before it was even a thing. Those Petro/Kenny Anderson/DC Nets teams in the early 90s were a thing of beauty. They were the Sac kings 10 years before their time. Beautiful basketball. Whether they would have won a chip is besides the point. It's a tragedy that Drazen died, and that Basketball was robbed of what would have been the most beautiful brand of Bball to come for 10 years.

Always thought Doug Christie was severely underrated. One of the better perimeter defenders in the NBA and could run the offense from the 2 guard spot.

Also had a solid uppercut.

Agreed.

the Jason Kidd era was pretty sweet. Took the bus from Penn station to the meadowlands several times to watch those teams while living in NYC.

Petrovic had balls of steel and was incredibly competitive. Doncic has a lot to live up to in those metrics.

Anyone remember the Petrovic - Jordan battles? They were pretty good. This was a time when euro players weren't taken seriously.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

I always thought John Starks was solid and in this playoffs series with the Bulls



Kevin Johnson too



90s little guys XD

That was a fucking amazing time to be an NBA fan and I miss it like crazy.

Even with defenses keeping scores down to 60 or below on the regular, the games were played with such unbelievable ferocity.

Earning a shot in or around the paint in the East had to be paid with blood. Lol

Looking up their head to head stats. I'd say you misremembered. Petrovic won a single game against Jordan averaging 16/2/4 while Jordan went 10 and 1 averaging 31/6/6

Not really. I'm thinking more about when Petrovic hit his grove in 1992 and 1993.

Mad Max was teh other guy that I loved to watch go up against Jordan.

In 92/93 the most he ever scored on the Bulls was 26 points in a game where Jordan scored 40. The head to head matchups were insanely one sided.

Frank Brickowski mostly because his name was perfect for basketball. Played like 15 years
Terry Cummings was really good in the 80's.
Sarunas Marciulionis - was pretty solid, not Petrovic level European good but solid nonethless.
Kendall Gill always played solid vs. Jordan.
Marques Johnson - good scorer and kind of a point forward decades before they came to be really utilized.
Mark Aguirre - sacrificed his game to help the Pistons win their back to back titles after being traded for Dantley.
Fat Lever a triple double threat. A better scoring Rondo in his time.

Wow I don’t remember that guy at all and he was a two time all star.

That shit fell completely under my radar. I mostly followed the Eastern Conference though.
