LOVE DETLEF

ALWAYS LOVE DETLEF

steve motherfuckin kerr

michael cooper
toni kucoc
bob horry

was mutombo too good at his peak to be considered a role player? i think he topped 15 ppg once and has just been a prolific d-man for what seems like 50 years

kukoc, ffs

i was just looking for a good pic of michael cooper

dennis rodman, now that i'm thinking of those bulls teams
dale ellis was just ridic from 3

ben wallace

Didn't the Worm have a handful of lines that went 0 points, 20 rebs?

Sarunas Marciulonis wasn't really a role player unless you count being the sixth man.

bruce bowen

john starks
jeff hornacek

danny ainge

if the c's win it all this year (i know) james posey would have been Indispensable Role Player on two championship teams this decade

I second Hornacek. Serious utility player.

sam cassell currently playing his way out of contention

The Pacers had a great matched set of big guys that switched between starting and the bench in Antonio and Dale Davis. They lost something and have never gotten it back after those two guys were traded.

Dale Davis also looked like he should have been a member of the X-Men.

jeff hornacek thirded
Sedale Threatt, you could set your watch by his midrange jumper
bo outlaw
cliff robinson
sam BIG SMOOTH perkins
ron harper
rex chapman
dan majerle
loy vaught
otis thorpe
dale curry
just a bit too bigtime: ricky pierce, jason williams(nets)
late career: larry johnson

charles oakley

ah oakley is kinda the ultimate - nice symmetry complimenting the ultimate star - and i luv how he smacks motherfuckers who dont have his money

Robert Horry, much as I hate him

Larry Nance
Hot Rod Williams
Jeff Malone
Fat Lever
Hersey Hawkins (esp. Barkley years)

Rex Chapman seconded.

sean elliott, 2-time all-star, great swingman and 3-point shooter on the wing of d robinson, current wife is local lifestyle columnist (writing kinda sucks but she's cuet)

mario elie
horace grant
terry porter
bill laimbeer

derek fisher
mario elie
avery johnson
mark jackson

o shit remember when the knicks would roll out the two headed pg monster of charlie ward and chris childs? not that those dudes deserve to be in here, i just remembered them and laughed

oh you beat me with mario elie!!

charlie ward won the heisman and played hoops, always thought that was bananas!

also not fond of female reporters in the locker room
a truly complex individual

meanwhile, In 2002, Childs also made the news when he was robbed at gunpoint in an incident at a Manhattan nightclub owned by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. He allegedly lost over $30,000 in jewelery and cash.

childs vs. kobe fight was funny

Larry Nance was a bit more than a role player, no? I didn't watch as much back then. As was Hersey Hawkins at one point iirc but I don't remember his different phases

bj armstrong belongs in the bulls role player hof. i remember my buddies and i joking that he was called bj because he was "only" 6'2". we were infantile.

horace grant
cliff robinson
arvydas sabonis

good call on h grant. crucial to that 1st Bulls 3peat.

vinny microwave johnson!

fat lever was unreal for a few years there -
per game averages from 87-90 - 19 pts, 9 boards, 7.5 dimes, 2.5 steals. and the dude was 6'3"!!

Lever is one of only three players in NBA history to record 15 plus points, rebounds, and assists in a single playoff game (the others being Jason Kidd and Wilt Chamberlain).

Sam Perkins always delivered. He had a big ass, and a sweet shot from the corner.

he had perhaps the definitive bird legs

is vernon maxwell too fucked up to be a role player?

terry cummings

darrell griffith aka 'the golden griff'

i'm willing to put rafer alston on here just because

cornbread maxwell. if only for his "jump on my back boys" speech and for going into the crowd in philly.

Vinnie "Microwave" Johnson
Sasha Vujacic
And if Bowen is on the list, so is Shane Battier

I think Dennis Rodman has a pretty good chance of making the HoF or at least he would if wasn't such a weirdo.

Anyway:

Andrew Toney
Byron Scott
Joe Dumars
Mychal Thompson
Jeff Hornaceck

Eddie Johnson
Marcus Camby
Charles Oakley
Roy Tarpley (so so sad)

Didn't see that Hornaceck and Oakley were above!

danny manning (his star days were short-lived but he still had a good shot after his knees went)
anthony peeler
walt williams

A.C. Green
Drazen Petrovic :(

ps

I still kinda want to do this, this could be a thing

i dont have grad school this summer, i think i could pull this off

Okay, so I've compiled a list of everyone mentioned in this thread, but it's been some years so I think maybe a nominations thread is in order? But this is definitely happening this month.

serious question: how to formulate poll? separate polls by position or backcourt/frontcourt? just one poll and take top 5 vote gettas?

this is still a good question. we could do this all-nba style and one per position. or just top 5 votes?

what do we do? still taking noms? stilll have to have been out of the laegue since 2011? i would do top 5 positionless

yeah i think given thats its been some years, some more players would be eligible so we should have more nominations

have to have been retired for 5 years (end of 2012-13 season), no all-star selections or all-nba (all-defense v v obv ok). since its been a few years

other question: do yall want to pick 5 guys and just take top 5 vote getters, or should they be weighted (#1 gets 5 pts, #2 gets 4 pts, etc.) and the top 5 point getters get in?

rodman made the all star team twice r u allowing all stars or no.

no all-stars

also he is in the regular ol HOF

do you have a master list of those that have been nommed and are eligible?

need a player in FIBA hall but not NBA hall list

ive got the master list tho i need to skim through it and weed out ineligibles

starting to go through it now and there are some interesting disqualifications! ainge, antonio AND dale davis, sam cassell

wow, cedric maxwell never made an all-star team but was a finals mvp
