I'm better than Mulli!
TucsonDevil said:Oliver Miller had talent, but Alvin Adams had much more talent than the fat man - even if he were skinny.
Too bad we didn't have Maurice Lucas a little earlier in his career and for a few more years. BTW, all-goofy team - you have to put on Jeff Cook and Rich Kelley.
In the Center position, we could throw in Rick Robey. He had talent, but was injured too much and never really panned out...hmm, I wonder what ever happened to the guy we gave up in a trade to get Robey... oh yeah, he went on to win 2 championships with the Celtics...
I agree that the best team was probably 1994-1995, before the D. Manning injury. I think the 1983-1984 team was underrated.
In the Point Guard debate, I throw my support behind KJ as of today. However, by the end of next year when Amare and Steve receive co-Finals MVP, I will switch my vote.
The shooting guard debate is Horny first, everyone else distant second. I absolutely loved him - remember when he tried to dunk the ball in a game and was rejected by the rim. I remember Tom Chambers grabbing him while laughing hysterically. After we traded him for Barkley, he landed on his feet just fine and helped Utah to consecutive NBA Finals. Not bad for a College Walk-on.
While we are reminicing - does anyone find it odd that the coach we had for a long time during the Glory 70s and early 80s - John McCleod - is now just an assitant with the Golden State Warriors? He was great for a long time, and was only fired due to the Drug scandal problem. I know he went on to coach at Notre Dame, but I don't believe he was a head coach again in the NBA, am I wrong?
One final note - the Suns Theme in the early 80s was cool. They used to play it on KTAR before games and such... it had the trumpets... anyone remember that? And do you know how I might be able to obtain a copy?
i think mccleod had a stint with the mavs and i want to say with the knicks (really briefly) under bianci, but i might be wrong about the knicks.
and yeah, the suns theme song was awesome. if you find out where to get a copy i'm on that too!
