in nba there are always logjams no matter how bad the team is, but sometime coaches, stern, ref, and the media collaborate to sabotage a players career and reputation while retreads stick around in the league for years (see mark madsen, lorenzen wright, michael ruffin, etc). look at the following
1. luther head: remember 2 years ago, he was the 6th man and everyone was raving what a great pick he was for the rockets. 2 years later, he found himself the unforgotten man on the bench
2. trenton hassell: an important part of the successful t-wolves team in the sprewell, cassell, and KG era. seem to be on his way outta this league.
3. stephon marbury: the man averaged 22 pts 8 assists and at 31 is in his prime. he’s getting benched in favor of chris duhon (what?) and mardy collins (who?) what an injustice. trade him to someone who can use him or release him. don’t listen to the rumors and lies the media is spreading. lebron does the same stuff but he’s david stern’s pet
-no matter what marbury’s stats are, he is always a negative effect on any team.
-amare’s back. maybe that’s why diaw poked him in the eye so he could get more playing time back.
-kwame was very arrogant. "Jordan won’r regret drafting me blah blah blah".
-gerald green’s a punk
-look how successful the jazz are now w/ booz and d-will
sometimes, it’s really just like that. things happen for a reason. also, the NBA is almost all business (almost all

Wow… I can’t really speak on all these players but…for Starbury he was never that good yeah i know he put up all those stats but look at where his team was. For Walter Herman he gets time he got 16 mins off the bench last game it’s just hard because the Pistons have to many good bench players and they all need time. Kwame doesn’t get anytime because he doesn’t show that he deserves it.. plus we all know he’s not that good of a player. For most of these players the reason is there is someone (or

I really don’t know why you asked the question. You answered it for yourself on every guy. All I can say is that guys don’t play because the coach choose to play someone else instead. Is it the right decision? Not always but thats the way it works.

To form one big super-talented team. Then you took all the principle players that the Bulls beat in the Finals and form one big super-talented team. Which one of these super-talented teams would win in a Finals?
BTW…The only team that beat MJ/Pippen’s Bulls in the playoffs were the Orlando Magic. My Knicks dont count cause MJ was playing baseball.
Pg. MAGIC JOHNSON (Lakers lost to Bulls)
Sg. CLYDE DREXLER (Blazers lost to Bulls)
Sf. CHARLES BARKELY (Suns lost to Bulls)
Pf. KARL MALONE (Jazz lost to Bulls twice)
C. SHAWN KEMP (Sonics lost to Bulls)
6. John Stockton
7. James Worthy
8. Gary Payton

11. Clifford Robinson

That was Jordans come back year. He was number 45 and literally choked on the court against the magic… lol he didnt even play the whole year!!!
Jordan + Penny + pippen + shaq… no brainer..they kill them

Team 1 wins.Shaquille and Michael are the only legendary players on Team 2.
Magic,Clyde,Charles,Karl,John,they’re all in the 50′s greatest players.

The "Looser against the Bulls" will win without problems.
But I can’t understand your point on this question.???

i don’t get what you mean the only team that beat the mj/pippen bulls. they lost to detroit three times. and before that mj lost to boston twice.
dude… pippen was drafted in 87-88 the bulls lost in five games to detroit with pippen (who came off the bench as a rookie) in 87-88. then lost two more times to the pistons w/ pippen in 88-89 (lost in 6 games to detroit) and 89-90 (lost in seven games). thats one team… the detroit pistons… that they lost to three times with mj and pippen.
first off i don’t get your question,and second when the magic beat the bulls you have to factor in that jordan was coming back into the league,so he did have some rust to get rid off.
cmacleod8 | Sep 11, 2008
um… you know the jordan and pippen tandom lost 3 times to detroit.
this is a dumb question.

Nobody needs to make that much money per year to throw a ball around. Ridiculous.

That’s alot to ask in one question. I’ll point out one in particular, that hurts my feelings.
Samuel Dalembert- $12,125,694.
Jermaine O’Neal- $23,016,000 -> there’s another thats absolutely dreadful. Only Kobe makes a few more thousand then he does as the league’s top salary.
Rob K [Pres. Of NBA History Dep] | Jul 24, 2009
I’ll do the raptors…. since I’m their fan.
Chris Bosh – 29 one of the best PF in the NBA.
Hedo Turkoglu – 26 will help the raptors alot, very good player
Jose Calderon – 27 Very underrated point guard, gets better every year and will only continue to get better.
