Didn't say they were. So don't put words in my mouth. Pettit was one of the most dominating PFs ever. Averaging 27/16 for his career and dropping 50 to stun the Boston Dynasty in game 6 of the 58 finals.

 

Karl Malone i think Duncan is a bit better. Poor Karl though. MJ just wouldn't let him and Stockton cash in. Wasn't like they played bad either.

 

Elvin Hayes was honestly retarded to watch play.

 

Again I didn't say Timmy wasn't the best. I put him 2 behind Pettit cause i'm a (st. louis lol) Hawks homer. I just think it's a bit much to say any one is the clear cut best unless it's blatantly obvious.

 

Between those 4 though. Damn.

 

Petit's averages were inflated by the pace of play, level of talent of big men being lower across the board and only shooting 43% for his career. Great player for his era, but doesn't measure up to Tim's longevity and all around game.  Tim also had to go through the Western conference every year which was mostly superior and had to deal with Shaq, Kobe, Dirk, Nash, Durant, Westbrook, etc.

You could also say Timmy's numbers have been inflated by offensively steered rules. The east was more superior when Pettit played. Knocking off the Boston dynasty is nothing to sneeze at. I could name 5 players from that era in one conferencetoo. Idon't see what that proves. Also Pettit's all around game was pretty damn good daresay as good as Duncans. He had an array of offensive moves and was an excellent defender. Different eras are hard to compare. I again just don't think there is a clear cut #1 pf.

Good for Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker. All are true basketball players and should all get HOF nods. Also, Danny Green is slowly becoming one of my favorite players in the NBA.

And a congrats to Boris Diaw, he wasn't very good for us, but at least he didn't completely suck here.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
