I'm intrigued by all the love for David Robinson! He wouldn't make my top 10 fav centres!
The Admiral! Championships, a scoring title, a quadruple double and a legend during an era that had plenty of great centres, come ON!
Oh I respect the Admiral, sure. Just like I do Karl Malone. There just isn't much to "love". If I was picking my top 10 boring/nice guy C's ever, he'd be #1 on the list!
But favourites? Gimme Hakeem, Moses Malone, Shaq, Walton, Garnett, etc any day
none of those dudes won rings for the Spurs after i found out what the NBA is
-
@mariner4life can't argue there. But remind me how many the Admiral won before TD arrived? 😉

that's because TD is my boy!!
but shush you, back in your box

@mariner4life I fucking love TD. Still a nice guy, but way more of the fuck-you attitude that Robinson didn't really have.
Did someone here post that short clip of TD and DR working out together or was that somewhere else?

@voodoo The Admiral was loyal. Good things come to those who wait.
Chuck chased a ring with the Suns and then the Rockets.
Derek Fisher was loyal and won about 15 rings, I don't see him on anyone's favourite list...😉

If it wasn't for MJ he would have won at least one ring, with the Suns. MJ blocked Stockton and Malone as well

@Bovidae I love the legend of Russell, but the fact is that I've never seen the man play! Not a whole game anyway, just some grainy clips, and even then not many.
So he also goes into my "massive respect, but can't be a favourite" bucket
Same for me. That rules out Mikan, West, Baylor, Cousy, Russell and Chamberlain among others.

Jesus, the Blazers and especially the Knicks weren't winning championships if Jordan wasn't around. The Jazz, yes. Suns with CB, yes. But Drexler and Cliff Robinson? Ewing and Mark Jackson??
Huh?
You realise the Blazers played the Bulls in the 92 Finals right?

Yep. And to assume they win if Jordan isn't there, is to assume they beat whomever else wins the Eastern Conference, or even the Bulls led by Pippen. The Blazers won 57 games that year. The Cavs also won 57 games and had the second best record in the East. They lost the EC Finals 4-2, same scoreline as the Blazers lost by in the Finals. In the Blazers' favour is that they won their 57 in a division where all but one team had a plus. 500 record. But it's not a fait accompli like the Jazz winning later in the 90s would have been.
Horry was the man.
