Robin is what I called him. Definitely one of the greatest sidekicks in the history of basketball. He was sort of like the LeBron of his time. Not the dominant force he is now, but the big small forward who could assume point guard duties as well has rebound the ball and defend. Oh, and he could score too. His career average is 16 ppg, but I'm not focusing on his role with other teams. His career average with the Bulls during the Jordan era is 18.4 ppg. Might I add he was a 7 time NBA All-Star, 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist, was named one of the NBA's 50 greatest players of all time, and holds countless records. All these achievements as a sidekick to Jordan. He makes this list because he stayed loyal. He never got the big head and felt he was more than Jordan. He created his own spotlight while in Jordan's spotlight and make the best out of his own career. he could've easily demanded a trade and would've been the number 1 guy on any team in the league. If players could be more like him, I'm pretty sure the Lakers would still be winning championships. 4 is nice, but they would've had at least 8 if Shaq had stayed. Big ups to Scottie for being a great and loyal sidekick.Friday, September 11, 2009

ReplyDeleteplus the Kings got robbed in the 2001 or 2002 West Finals. Google it. California Congress tried to petition those crooked ass refs after the game.
