Remember These NBA Players?

[isiahthomas]

Let's reminisce ya'll on some NBA players from the 80's & 90's. I'm gonna name some players & i want ya'll to name some players.

1. Charles Jones(hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. This dude was the worst scrub i've ever seen. He played for the Washington Bullets in the 80's & he won a championship with Houston in 95. He used to always get dunked on LOL. He was a good shot blocker though.)
2. John Williams(he played for Washington Bullets in the 80's. He was a good player until he became overweight.)
3. Pervis Ellison(he played for Washington Bullets also in the early 90's. He was good for a few seasons with them. He was a waste of talent. He didn't do nothin after he left Washington & went to Boston.)
4. Cedric Ceballos
5. Harold Miner(what a waste. They used to call him baby Jordan LOL.)
6. Xavier Mcdaniel
7. Dominique Wilkins
8. Spud Webb
9. Reggie Lewis(i miss this guy. He was good for the Celtics.)
10. Drazen Petrovic(i miss him also.)

I forgot about the Xman Xavier McDaniel. I remember when he played for the Knicks, he had Scottie Pippen punked. Pervis Ellison disappeared. He always use to be hurt. Cedric Ceballos at one time was scoring 40+ points for the Suns. Harold Miner was a waste. I thought he was going to shine. I miss Reggie and Drazen. The Nets and The Celtics were bothe on their way until they lost these two. The NBA didn't treat Dominique right. He should have made the first 50 greatest players. They put Shaq in there. At the time, Shaq didn't pay his dues.

I remember when Grant Hill, Charles Barkley, and Michael Jordan were really popular in the 1990s. I also recall Chales Barkley in a McDonalds commercial where he can't remember the lyrics to the Big Mac Song . This was in 1996, I think.

[Dutabi84]

Dennis Scott - He used to be one of my favorite players back in the Magic days (The Magic actually used to be my favorite team, before they traded Shaq). He was unstoppable from 3-point land. I remember watching his record breaking performance, when he went 9-13 from beyond the arc one game, which has since been broken by Kobe Bryant. He actually had a brief stint with the Wolves if I'm not mistaken.

Robert Parish - Who finally retired at the age of 83.

Hmm, I'll come up with s'more a little later.

[isiahthomas]

LOL@Robert Parish retired at 83 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Dominique Wilkins should've finished his career a Atlanta Hawk. The Hawks haven't been good since they traded him hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I remember Dennis Scott. Orlando had a very good team back then with him, Horace Grant, Nick Anderson, Penny Hardaway, Shaq. I also liked these players.

Derrick Coleman is a straight up BUM!!! He never dedicated himself to the game. He spent most of his career sitting on the sidelines. Charles Barkley once said that Derrick got the potential to be one of the best power forwards ever, but he doesn't play hard all the time. Charles hit it right on the money.
I'm glad you put Drexler, Porter and Kersey down there. I use to be a Trail Blazer fan bak in the day. They were so underrated and didn't get no national attention. Especially from a marketing perspective. Fast breaking Blazer basketball was at its best. I was mad when the Lakers beat them to go to the finals that year. But eveyone wanted to see Magic vs. Michael that year. I was even more pissed off when the Bulls beat them a year later. Can you imagine going to school the next day when the majority of the fans in the school was pulling for the Bulls? Me and about two others in the school were Blazer fans. We had about 1600 people in my school. I continued to sport my Blazer cap and I had a triple threat Blazer t-shirt with Drexler, Porter and Kersey on the front. I got sh-itted on a lot, but I stood my ground.

Kevin Duckworth
Buck Williams (for Garfield)
Tree Rollins
World B Free
Geoff Crompton
Brian Winters
Junior Bridgeman
Jack Sikma
Bill Cartwright
James Edwards


Isiah, who was Lafeyette Lever?

[GARFIELDKOOL]

Thank you for posting Kevin Duckworth and the hard working Buck Williams Seinatra. I can answer the Lafayette Lever question. He use to play for the Nuggets in the 80s and early 90s.

[Sargent Stewie]

Anybody remember Bison Dele, Hersey Hawkins, Walt Williams, and Chris Gatling?

[Seinatra]

Yes, all of them. Isiah posted Hersey already. Bison Dele was Brian Williams, and then changed the name, I don't remember why. Gatling seemed to be around forever, I think because he was on so many different teams.

Derrick Coleman wasn't a bum GarfieldKool. He was very good when he was with the Nets. The Pistons waived him in December of last year i believe. He was pretty good with the Sixers also. Him & Kenny Anderson were the main scoring threats for the Nets. Kenny is a bench riding bum now for the Hawks LOL. He was with the Pacers last season & did nothin. He needs to retire. I remember Bill Cartwright who had the ugliest jumpshot i've ever seen LOL. I can't believe i forgot to mention my favorite former Cleveland Cavs players Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, Larry Nance, John(Hot Rod)Williams. I will never forgive the Cavs former GM Wayne Embry for trading Ron Harper to the Clippers for Danny Ferry, Reggie Williams & a #1 draft pick. Danny Ferry did nothin his entire career hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I saw Ron Harper at the Cavs & Nuggets game last Friday in Cleveland on ESPN. GarfieldKool you were a Blazers fan back in the day huh? I used to like them too especially Clyde Drexler. Clyde was the man. Cliff Robinson played for them early in his career. Speaking of Cliff, he was traded yesterday to the Nets from Golden State for 2 second round draft picks.

[isiahthomas]

Remember JR Rider, Richard Dumas, Roy Tarpley, Shawn Kemp? Of course ya'll remember the reign man Shawn Kemp. He was the man in Seattle. When he left Seattle, his career was done. He played good when he was in Cleveland also but after that, it was a done deal cause he picked up too much weight & he wasn't explosive as he was in Seattle. Talk about a waste of talent, JR Rider let me down. He won the slam dunk contest at all star weekend in Minnesota when he played for the Timberwolves. He also played for Portland, Atlanta, Lakers, Denver. Lakers didn't play him that much which surprised me. He got cut by Denver when they sucked. You know if you get cut from Denver during the time when they were sorry before they got Carmelo Anthony, you know you got issues LOL.

Derrick was tough with the Nets. He played well with Kenny Anderson and Drazen Petrovic. After that, he just didn't dedicate himself. He lacked heart. He could have been just as good or better than Karl Malone. Like I said, he didn't dedicate himself.

Shawn Kemp had got so fat, he couldn't even get up to the rim. This is why the NBA is not competitive anymore.

sorry but to me kevin duckworth was an overpayed jerky a//h i saw him at a blazer game in person when i lived in portland and there were a few kids that wanted his autograph and keep in mind this was before shootaround or anything else started and all the other players were being super nice to all the kids and adults who wanted autographs or just to talk . well from where i was sitting in my courtside seat i saw 3 or 4 kids holding out cards for him to autograph there was no way you could miss these kids this ungreatful moron puts his nose in the air and jus walks right by them the looks on those little faces were just heartbreaking i had never liked kevin duckworth much to begin with and after seeing what he did to those kids i lost what little respect i had for him i guess thats why kids today dont really talk about him much if at all.
