I always randomly remember being a Trevor Ruffin fan…I think he only played 1 or 2 seasons with the suns in the mid 90s when I was like 8…I have no clue why I chose to remember him, but I do haha
No way, I literally debated between saying Bennett or Ruffin lol. Trevor Ruffin was a great 3-point shooter.

No, Dan Langhi was a great 3-point shooter...in practice.

Years from now we’re going to have this same thread and say Collin Gillespie.

Informer was also a fan of the Ruffin

I'm almost sad I didn't say Ricky Sobers.

He was a tough sonofabitch. Everybody loved it when he kicked Rick Barry's ass in the playoffs (I'm guessing Barry's teammates included).

50 years ago, no. Now, yes.

Was this the 1976 Western Conference finals, where I believe you said in years gone by, that Rick Barry got the equivalent of butt hurt, (hopefully with actual hemorrhoids!), that his teammates did not stand up for him?

Indeed it was.

I kinda posted it as a joke, but I wouldn’t be half surprised if Bobster comes back with a list of franchises that are really leading the league in murderers.

Well, Javaris Crittenton is the only other one I can think of off the top of my head.
Don’t forget Vince Carter. Did you see what he did to Frederic Weiss?

I’ll go with Mario Bennett…from Arizona State. :P
Can’t mention Super Mario Bennett without Mighty Joe Kleine, and if you have any idea what I’m talking about, you’ve really been around a while.
Anyone? v9? Bobster, maybe? VT, who’s not around at the moment?

For machine translation in 2007, that looks pretty good.

You also can’t use both names when you mention them both. They’re Schleine.

What ever happened to players like Joe Kleine and Danny Schayes?

How about Georgi Glouchkov? The first eastern European player in the NBA. Drafted by the Suns in the 1985 draft at # 148(7th round). Played 49 games for us in 1985-86. Went back to Europe the nest season. I remember them making a big deal about him because he was from Bulgaria..

How about Ian Lockhart? Dude’s per-36 numbers are insane, if a little black holesque.


He also likes to have his sexual performance rated on a per-36 basis.

David Thirdkill.

Don't know why he comes to mind. Maybe because he's got such a cool RPG name in real life.

Kyle Macy maybe a little obscure; probably not much. Alvin Scott, Toby Bailey, Mike Bantom, Earl Barron, Mike Bratz, Jeff Cook, Joe Crispin, Phil Lumpkin... I could go on and on.

Oh that makes so much more sense now. I was a little confused by this:
Mario already makes a strong impression by his sense of rebound but also his explosiveness which makes him a dunker sucks. He then plays strong garlic or his natural qualities are wonderful.
