NBA players that surprise you vol. youre still here?

[hoopervilaa]

I've been thinking about this and a couple of players come to mind...

1. Wally World. Guy can put up 10 points in a hurry. I honestly thought the guy would be an afterthought/done after he went to seattle.

2. Sam Cassell. Still around and still coveted.

3. Antwan Jamison. Guy really surprised a lot of people. He has been knocked for being a tweener who lacks of offensive skills. But he has really developedinto a well rounded player. Puts up double-doubles on a regular basis despite being undersized for the PF position. Added 3pt range to his arsenal too. Ithought his career would go downhill when he went to dallas...but he has only gotten better.
4. Allen Iverson. How long has it been AI? 12 years and still putting up 24 ppg and 7 apg

5. PJ brown. I remember this guy during the Miami-NY rivalry..ultra consistent 11ppg 10rpg player. a decade or so after, he is still around the league.

6. Andrew Bynum...lots of doubt when he came into the league, but has been progressing nicely.

7. Shocked at how much of a bust Kwame and Curry have been.

8. Alonzo Mourning. Damn, not even kidney disease can keep this guy out of the court. Gotta admire that

9. Glenn Robinson, who had a ton of game left, was never signed to another team after winning with the spurs. I mean, was he that bad? He looked like hestill had some gas left in the tank.

10. Jamario Moon. Guy went under the radar for a minute but is now doing this thing...

11. Steve Francis...and how quickly he fell off. From an all star to a player who cannot even get the starting spot from rafer alston..not that rafer is allbad of course.

12. DEKE MUTOMBO. How old is this guy really? No matter. He can still board and block shots and clog the middle....

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Dude plays like a 58 yr old white guy who lost his knees 30 years back

. He will take the most ridiculous rolling hooks, 18 foot push shots, fast breakfloaters, this dude knows every way to score, and even down to the 2" of elevation on his jumper, he reminds me of every knee-pad wearing gray haired,huffin-puffin tricky %%+ father time looking mother *%#$*@ I have ever played against

Twan is the truth, I always like his game

[nychiphophippo]

I really don't know how malik rose is in the league. I'm positive that there is are at least 10 dudes who went undrafted and are being forced to playoverseas that can replace him for a minimum salary.

 

[p0tat0 5alad]

Darrell Armstrong
Austin Croshere
Jacque Vaughn
Keith Van Horn

 

[ohyeah10]

all of the centers for the sonics. every single draft pick has been a scrub

 

[dyyhard]

nah the one that gets me the most is Kevin Ollie - Sixers.

when you think UConn, you think Ray Allen, Rip, Rudy, Emeka...and even Khalid El Amin

...but never Kevin Ollie.

he didn't even average double digits in his 4 yrs at uconn.....drafted to the CBA after college...and still in the league.
