2014 Anger General Geatest of All Time: #22 selection

[vcsgrizzfan]

Maybe in the future people should have to present a case for the player they think should be in that spot, and then actual voting can begin say 24 hours after the thread is put up, with no one being able to change their votes.

Or just say people can't change their votes period.

You could also actually use the poll feature and disable revoting.

Nah. Don't like it. This isn't that board.

Not sure. But we are pretty small and intimate for the most part. It's not like we have a ton of people voting for malevolent reasons.

When there's only 20 people voting, it just takes 1.

You play to win. Russell is GOAT or 2ND GOAT because he made everyone around him more effective and hid many teammates weaknesses. He made you win.

Barkley had pretty stats, but did he help you win more than Dirk? Did he stretch defenses to make it easier for others on the offensive end? Did he guard the paint to make it easier for others on the defensive end? Was he versatile enough to cover up the aforementioned flaws? Be honest.

Here's a little nugget. Barkley's suns went 62-20 in 92-93. Went down 0-2 to the 39 win Lakers and was on the brink of being the first 1 seed to lose to an 8 seed but came back and won 3 straight. Barkley was the mvp that year. In Dirk's MVP season he took the Mavs to a 67-15 record but they ended up losing in the first round to the 42 win Warriors. I think the 07 Mavs were the winningest team to lose in the first round of the playoffs?

Did you even watch the series? Every great player has had series where he played stinkers. Was that series more about Dirk having a stinker, or guys like Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson playing way above their norm? Dirk played poorly but it was more about GSW making shots and no one on Dallas making theirs. It's a bit like blaming LeBron for losing to the Magic in 2009. It's usually the stuff of morons.

It was both. Dirk was horrible all series long. But those Warriors just got hot and rode that hot streak until the second round.

Exactly. Sometimes, stuff just happens. GSW got hot just long enough to make it happen. Dirk and the Mavs were generally cold long enough to let it happen. Random events just happen.

Just random. People way too often try to find meaning in random events.

I was just playing around but oh well. It was just a RANDOM thing I guess.

Back to the topic at hand. Yeah! How about this thread for the #22 pick reaching 10 pages.

Is that the most we had yet since this poll was created?

Hardly. Isiah was much more a cog in the wheel than the wheel. His teams that won were teams with great depth in both the front court and the back court and while he might have been the 'leader' in a sense, he was more the first among equals than the lead dogs of his era. People are trying way too hard to make him something he wasn't.

Joe Dumars can claim that. He was the 1989 FMVP and was a solid game away in 1990 game 5 from claiming a second FMVP. Thomas didn't garner a single selection other than all-star post-1987. He retired in 1994. That's SEVEN seasons of no all-nba or all-defensive teams selections.

Does that not mean anything at all?????

Isiah averaged 21.3 and 27.6 in the 89 and 90 finals. Dumars 27.3 and 20.6.

That is 24.5ppg for Isiah to 24ppg for Dumars.

I believe Isiah in 88 finals game 6 had 43 points. 25 in the 3rd on a bad ankle? In 91 and 94 we know Isiah was injured but the point guard position from 87-94 was pretty stacked. There has been talk that if Isiah wanted to he could have put up prime Nate Archibald type numbers in scoring and assists and probably even longer then Nate did but he knew that wasn't the key to winning but he had his moments in games/series to show that he can do that if he wanted to.

That was the thing about isiah. Dude Could go off at any moment and was a fearless slasher. But those moments were accompanied by inefficient play....at least too inefficient for my liking from a PG.

Nope. The most pages that a non-TDK thread has done though. TDK can extend a thread nearly 20 pages if not more.

Wonder which one was that.
