Premium Member Diesel Posted July 14, 2003 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 http://www.ajc.com/hawks/content/sports/ha...03/14hawks.html It's a shame that Nique was not voted top 50 ever... Strangely enough, English was??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaHawk10 Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 No, English was not voted into the top 50. But let's not talk about that. I'm still fuming over how Shaq and Bill Walton made that BS list... J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyman3 Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 dont get me wrong, he did have stats something like 12 points and 10 rebounds as a center... he did get injured a lot and have his career cut short.... but i call that an ALLSTAR, not a TOP 50 player. If those numbers can get him in- Mutombo/Wallace/Mourning should also be in the NBA TOP 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 i think he got mvp one year...and won a championship, but then his feet went, he won sixth man of the year in 85 or so, on at least one of the celtics teams. before the feet went, he was very, very good.

JaHawk10 Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Yeah i'm not doubting he was very good, but Walton even admitted himself; He missed more time than any other individual in NBA History. I just can't understand why he would be added to the list when he spent more than half of his career injured. I think they put too much stock into his college career and not what he did on the NBA level... J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Sounds like a great player to me. Guess his feet giving out would go against him being great, in the eyes of some. Still, being the top 50 players ever, did they have to have a long & healthy career or just be an awesome player before being injured ??? Then, winning the 6th man award after the feet give out ain't bad either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
