What do you think
yes, and very underrated. one of the 50 greatest ever. too bad he finally got to play with some talent after his skills significantly diminished. not as selfish as everyone often makes him out to be...he literally had zero talent in Philly for so many years.
is that a knock on keith van horn? never again, dickay. never again.
um.....yes lol.Quote:

Yes, maybe not first ballot, but obviously he's a lock.
Good lord yes! It's rare that you see a little man dominate games like he did in his prime.
Aaah basketball, the onlu time where a 6 foot dude is considered a little man :pQuote:

I voted no just because I have a lot of hatred for him. I always liked his defense in his prime, but I hate how he plays offense.
If I was not to be so biased about him, I would say obviously yes.
I respect his defense, hate the way he plays offense, but he managed to do alright.
Haha that measurement might be tops. I saw him in Boston too and it is hard to believe watching a guy that small play ball, especially when you are taller than him.Quote:

AI was amazing at scoring the ball and at being the toughest man on the floor. But I never thought his defense was that great.
Haha well that is probably why I overrated his defense, because all I was thinking about was him stealing balls.Quote:

At 5'10-5'11 it's hard to do much in basketball. AI did it.
I respect that.Quote:

Oh, so he plays basketball?
Well then...
I voted no. Maybe if he had practiced more...
(I really voted yes due to peer pressure. I'm sorry, HGM) :(
Not a game. NOT THE GAME THAT I LOVE. NOT THE GAME THAT I GO OUT AND DIE FOR.Quote:
