Shaq. His skills are diminishing due to age, but he did everything... score, play D, pass. Probably one of the most dominant players ever in his prime.

i honestly dont see any superstar in the league today that is consistent.

I mean do it all consistently. D up, shoot, handles, athleticsm (posterizing someone)...

nobody.

when's the last time you saw an NBA'er be the teams best score and defender?
Its sad to see that people like Bruce Bowen get press cuz he can "defend." but take Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker off that team, would they still win a championship?

Fuggin hate NBA right now. These Jordan commercials make me miss it
I mean who can compare 15 legitimate consistent players today like they had in yesteryear: (and I wont even throw in bird, magic, or jordan)
Isiah, Ewing, Barkley, Stockton, Malone, David Robinson, Pippen, Hakeem, Dan Marjele (sorry personal pic), Mullin, Drexler, Dumars, Chief Parish, Dominique, Mark Price, Reggie Miller.

i mean stars that brought it every night. you knew what you were gonna get when you flipped on the TV.

Name 10 now?

I basically quit watching the nba after Jordan left the Wizards. Even at 40 he was still the most interesting player to watch on the court.

agreed. although I will always root for my celtics no matter what. especially since they got a guy who went to school with me (Wally Szczerbiak)

Marjele I noted I was kidding (just liked Thunder Dan a lot back then)
Parish always gave you 15-20, and 10, and 3 blocks. ALWAYS.

Mark Price was probably one of the most underrated pointguards/players of his generation. He always gave you 20 and 10 gimes. Try asking Stevie Franchise, Marbury, Tony Parker, or Chauncy Billups to get you 20 AND 10.

Reggie Miller? ok maybe he's a stretch. I just remember his better days in the playoffs. maybe not as consistent as one would like. So I'll give you that.

and all of those players you mentioned, I'd maybe say lebron, dwayne, and nash are the only true consistent players on their respective teams. you know what you're gonna get with them every night.

the others? sportscenter highlights while their teams might win 30-40 games a year..SANS Tim Duncan.

Ahhhhh, Thunder Dan!!!!! Yep the first and last time I gave a sh*t about NBA basketball was the Phoenix Suns 1985-1991. I actually sat next to Dan & his g/f at the time in a Garcia's Mexican restaurant on a first date w/ some guy I don't remember. I was like OMG DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS???? And not like Dan doesn't stand out trying to sit at a picnic table style table like its a little doll's Tea Party.. The guy had no idea who he was. I was like OMG THAT"S THUNDER DAN...!!!!!!!!!! God I almost ripped my shirt off & asked him to autograph my boobs. But I didnt'.

That wouldn't be polite to do at least until after dessert.

But yea the days -- Kurt Rambis, Dan, KJ, Stockton, etc. Really cool stuff.

I think that it is a great commercial (where the kids are all imitating highlights on MJ) and makes me miss NBA ball.

I think Killahbee started a post about these commericals. They give me the chills.
