[Zow]

Rolling Stockton again but can see an argument for petit or Wade.

 

[Jayrod]

Voting for an actual superstar again, since we selected a glorified role player in the last round.

 

[Frostillicus]

Once again, Pettit has two MVPs. Nobody else does.

And 10x 1st team all-NBA and beat the Russell/Cousy Celtics dynasty for a championship as the best player.

Seriously

 

[the moops]

Is Kawhi gonna make one of these lists soon? How about Iverson? Harden?

 

[nirad3]

Went with Wade but could certainly see Petit here.

Seriously

Is this an attempt to boost Jordan? Didn't all those 'role players' win 55 games the year Jordan played baseball?

They lost in the 2nd round of the playoffs behind a 40% shooting series from Mr Pippen

Wait. I thought when we were talking about Jordan, it only counted if you lost in the finals?

No

 

[msudaisy26]

Kind of torn between Petit, Wade and Paul. It is hard to judge Petit since I never seen him play.

He should. I posted this in another one of these threads but I think Kawhi compares favorably with Thomas.

 

[Frostillicus]

p and s kawhi and poopbeard are the next 2. I haven't planned any further than that.

I'm actually going to go with CP3 here. In the conversation for one of the best PGs of all time. I don't like him as a person, but his career achievements are substantial.

D Wade was a more complete player and has chips, but I think I have to give the nod to CP3s career.

 

[TripItUp]

Full disclosure, I know very little about Bob Petit...he's the first player I'm not very familiar with from the lists.

 

[Spartans Rule]

I voted for Pettit, but he's in a weird spot in history. The NBA improved a ton in terms of quality of play and popularity over the course of his career, so it's hard to say how good he was relative to his era.

He basically played at the end of one era where he was clearly the best player in a not-so-great league, and the start of another where he's still really good but overshadowed by Russell, Wilt, Oscar, West, Baylor, etc.

 

[Eephus]

I'm going to keep voting for Rick Barry because that's what Rick Barry would do.

Did somebody really call Scottie Pippen a role player????

He is basically Robert Horry minus the cool nickname.

Glorified

Yes, tongues in cheeks and whatnot.
