Hakeem, MJ, LeBron, Curry and Havlicek.
Yup, Havlicek ... Hondo had a knack for big plays in big games. Won titles with two different eras of Celtic teams.

Havlicek over KD is criminal. At least go Bird if you want a Celtic on thereLazarusLong wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 1:48 pmHakeem, MJ, LeBron, Curry and Havlicek.

Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
Havlicek played defense and blended with different teams. He also was a better athlete.
I thought about Bird, but he was surrounded by McHale and Parish, which benefitted him well.
I like Larry Legend, but Havlicek was just as good in big games.

Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
He never played with a 3 point line. He’s not a better defender and athlete than KD. I just don’t trust these guys from premerger days to hold up against modern players.
Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
Disagree, prime Shaq is backing down and yamming on literally every basketball player in history. He's the most dominant physical force the modern game has ever seen.Superbone wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 1:41 pmShaq ain't bodying Wilt, believe you me. Like I said, too young to understand.

Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
Wilt once clamped on Bob Lanier's arms about the elbows, lifted him and moved him out of the way on an inbounds play.
Lanier weighed about 280 at the time.
Wilt's strength was legendary.
Don't just judge by bulk ... Shaq would have trouble with Wilt.

Hey man, back in your day, I'm sure they used to use real leather balls and authentic peach baskets. If you believe Wilt could stop Shaq, that's great, I do not.
