Who is the one player

[Kevin]

That never played for your team, that you wish had played for your team..

I saw that Griffey Jr is going back to Seattle, and remember him in his prime. He is mine. He was the complete player in his prime of my generation.

Great swing, power, speed, Defense, and grace.

He had it all...

Who is that one player (that you seen play) for you..

Does not have to be just baseball.. It can be any sport..

[Fallon]

I always wanted Jeremy Roenick and Keith Tkachuk to play for the Bruins. Always liked how they played and they were local guys.

[Marc with a c]

he said one bobby. one!!!

[Fallon]

he said one bobby. one!!!

I choose you then.

[Marc with a c]

i don't know how to ice skate

[ChrisTheCop]

Tino Martinez.

His stats arent as amazing as some that will be mentioned.
But I met him once, and he was quite a gentleman.

I think he was the last scrap of class in that organization.

He wouldve fit in well with The Sox.

[NickyL0885]

Bret Farve....Oh wait. That already happened. So, I'll go with Alex Ovechkin.

[MacVittie]

I always coveted Barry Larkin

Khalil Green?

I thought you liked Jed

[Fallon]

I'll go with Alex Ovechkin.

That's Mudo's pick.

For the Nationals, the Redskins, the Wizards and as his lover.

[Crippler]

I would have loved to have been able to watch Kirby Puckett play everyday.

[John Galt]

Since Ovechkin and the Bruins have been mentioned multiple times, I'll go with The Admiral, David Robinson, for my Celtics.

[Knowledged_one]

Larry joe bird

[underdog]

Griffey wouldn't have fit in on the Yankees. He never did steroids.

Tim Duncan on the Celtics.

[A.J.]

I would go with Junior as well.

[Ritalin]

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2008/writers/jack_mccallum/04/07/hof.reaction/p1.hof.jpg

But my team had Michael, so that doesn't seem fair. Still, loved Hakeem's game. Such great footwork.

[TjM]

Marino . Always wondered how the 80's would have turned out had they drafted him intstead that waste Eason (Patriots)

[foodcourtdruide]

It's so strange that you guys are saying Griffey, I thought he killed the Reds by having such a huge contract and always being hurt.

I'd say Michael Jordan. He would have been a God in NY, until he was relentlessly boo'd for having 2 mediocare seasons after 17 amazing ones. NY fans are so fickle.

[A.J.]

It's so strange that you guys are saying Griffey, I thought he killed the Reds by having such a huge contract and always being hurt.

Well as Kevin originally said, "in his prime": which assumes we're talking about the days he was healthy and productive in Seattle.

[DH 215]

I would go with Tim Duncan. I know he is boring but the guy is a winner. It would have been nice to see his style work with AI when he was with the 76ers.

[EddieMoscone]

Tony Gwynn. I would have loved to see a true practitioner of the art of hitting on a daily basis.

[RhinoinMN]

I don't think that any Yankees fan can answer to this thread.

[instrument]

Was that english?

As a yankees fan I wouldve loved to see the barry bonds circus take place in NY.

[Aggie]

Barry Sanders.

[A.J.]

Len Bias.

[badorties]

I don't think that any Yankee fan can answer to this thread.

maddux would've been fun to watch

[Melk]

As a Chicago Bears fan, I'd like an NFL-quality quarterback.

As a White Sox fan, I would've wanted A's-era Jose Conseco, Shinjo from the 2006 season (was the NPB MVP) and post-strike Julio Franco.

[El Mudo]

That's Mudo's pick.

For the Nationals, the Redskins, the Wizards and as his lover.


He's on my team now silly goose :happy::happy:



My pick is Joe Sakic...one of the picks the Caps traded in the Dale Hunter deal became him, and while I love Huntsy and what he did here, Joe Sakic's a great player

[EddieMoscone]

Marino . Always wondered how the 80's would have turned out had they drafted him intstead that waste Eason (Patriots)

Same for me with the Jets and Ken O'Brien.

[TjM]

Len Bias.

:down:

Yea, in his prime.

Really? You are gunna go the NY fans are fickle, hack rout? You win in NY you are a God for life. You dont even have to be a great player. Just try, don't be a douche, and you are gold in NY.

[Puggle_kicker]

maddux would've been fun to watch

As a Yankees fan Id love to have seen Tom Glavine.

[midwestjeff]

When I was little I loved McGwire and then got to see him as a Cardinal.

So, while the rest of you sit around wishing just know that I lived the dream.

[razorboy]

I loved Raúl Mondesí in his Dodger prime.

[foodcourtdruide]

Really? You are gunna go the NY fans are fickle, hack rout? You win in NY you are a God for life. You dont even have to be a great player. Just try, don't be a douche, and you are gold in NY.

Why is that hack? It's completely true. I say that as a New York fan. I was embarrassed at Shea when they'd boo Piazza.

[foodcourtdruide]

Yea, in his prime.

My thinking was he was in his prime when he went to the Reds, but I understand what you mean, Griffey's Mariners years must have been awesome to watch as a Seattle fan.

[pittphantoms]

I have always wanted Manny Ramirez on the Pirates...

Good topic!

[brettmojo]

Favre on the Cowboys.

Then again 5 years ago I would have said Arod on the Yankees but look how that turned out.

[PD]

Same for me with the Jets and Ken O'Brien.

yeah; 2 "almosts" were Jets drafting O'B instead of Dan Marino, and just missing out on Favre because they wouldnt move up 1 slot, and then settling for Browning Nagle.

picking 1 is marino.

[cougarjake13]

MLB... griffey jr , eorge brett, tony gwynn




NFL... barry sanders

[Philip]

I'll go Barry Sanders on the Giants.

Jagr on the rangers .................for 4 years :wallbash:

[Philip]

Was that english?

As a yankees fan I wouldve loved to see the barry bonds circus take place in NY.

As an SF Giants fan that grew up in New york (dad liked them from their old days, I liked whoever he liked) it was alot of fun watching Bonds for that 5 years.

But not to shift off topic, really wanted Sean Taylor, or Larry Fitzgerald from the 2004 draft on the NFL Giants. They got Eli so not complaining, I guess.

[weekapaugjz]

lawrence taylor for the bills. Him and bruce smith would have been insane to watch playing together.

[TripleSkeet]

I would go with Tim Duncan. I know he is boring but the guy is a winner. It would have been nice to see his style work with AI when he was with the 76ers.

Hey! Good to see you here homo.

I would have to go with Patrick Roy on the Flyers. I cant even imagine how deadly those mid 90's teams would been with him in net.

[Snoogans]

this is tough. I cant pick Tiger Woods cause thats not a team thing.

I porbably gotta go Jordan. he RUINED the Knicks all those years, and I woulda been in awe to have him play 41 times a year in the Garden

[Jujubees2]

I would like to see Fezzie switch teams and play for the heteros but we know that won't happen. I think chicks would dig him!

[TheMojoPin]

ARod.

Bonds.

Clemens.

[RhinoinMN]

Fuck yes. Fuck any "curses" or that bullshit...those 3 on decent team in their prime? Unstoppable.

Unstoppable until they have to sport this on their jersey.

Not trying to bust balls, just seems like they can't do anything right to make it happen.

They've never even come close to having a team that good. They've had decent teams that blew it, but come on.

Bonds.

Clemens.

I think steroids wouldn't even help the Cubs.

[K.C.]

Kevin Johnson on the Sixers in the 90s.

One of the more underrated players of that era. Averaged 20 and 10 as a point guard for most of his career...used to love watching him on the Suns.

[Bossanova]

I would love to have had Pippen on the Knicks in the mid 90's

[Pestz4Evah]

Kevin Johnson on the Sixers in the 90s.

One of the more underrated players of that era. Averaged 20 and 10 as a point guard for most of his career...used to love watching him on the Suns.

And now he is the mayor of Sacramento.

I always wanted Kobe on the Kings, playing with our great passers Webber & Divac.

[Snoogans]

I would love to have had Pippen on the Knicks in the mid 90's

Pippen was garbage whenever Jordan wasn't there. He woulda been useless standing around, watching Starks shoot 15 3's

[Gvac]

I had a man crush on Paul Molitor back in his Brewers days and always wished he was a Red.

[bobstevens4]

Jeter. The Braves would have won 3 or 4 more championships with that guy.

SONUVABITCH.

[Snoogans]

SONUVABITCH.

Sorry bro, but you know its true. Look how bad Pippen was after Jordan first retired, and then everywhere else he went. Pippen wasnt that good. Ever.

[hammersavage]

One of the greatest defenders to ever play basketball.

[kdubya]

The Twins were a set up man away form the playoffs last year, if we had Kenny Powers (100 mph plus version, not after he left Atlanta) they would have walked to a world series title.

[Snoogans]

Ill give you that. Pippen did a hell of a job on Perimeter d. But that alone dont make you one of the 50 greatest players. Pippen is one of the most over rated players in league history

[Snoogans]

I tell you who my one player sure ISNT. And thats Larry Hughes. JESUS CHRIST. Stop shooting it larry, you are TERRIBLE


So far he is 1-7 and 3 of those were blocked. He just threw up an airball from 17 feet

[El Mudo]

Sorry bro, but you know its true. Look how bad Pippen was after Jordan first retired, and then everywhere else he went. Pippen wasnt that good. Ever.



How was he "bad" when Jordan first retired? He averaged 22 and 8 that year (his highest career totals) in the playoffs AND in the regular season. What else did you expect him to do? The man was also one of the best defenders of his era, or any era.

We arent talkin best defenders or solid guys. People seem to forget Pippen is named one of the 50 Greatest players EVER. 22 and 8 gets you that even with incredible D? Fuck no it doesnt. Plus he wasn't a leader. As soon as it was Scottie's team he became a bitch.

Because he pulled a Jimmy Chitwood when stupid Phil Jackson called that play for Kukoc? If I were him, I woulda done the exact same thing.

And when you combine the fact that he put up 22 and 8 that year WITH how many points he prevented through his defence, i'd say that's pretty good even if we're only talking about a one year sample size.

Not to mention the greatest dunk of all time in the history of dunks that ever dunked (aka "Elevation Elevation")

Even your boy Simmons thinks you're out of your mind (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/041101)



Where you stand on Scottie Pippen depends on two questions:
1. Do you follow the NBA? I mean, do you really follow it?
2. Do you give up on anyone who has made even one stupid mistake in his life?


If the answer is "yes" for No. 1, you probably wonder why Scottie's recent retirement wasn't a bigger story. It's not every day one of the 20 greatest players ever hangs it up, right? Does MJ win six rings without him? Does anyone even consider the concept of a point forward? Did any other small forward affect a game in more ways? Was there a more influential defensive player in the past 30 years?

[epo]

Then you'd be wrong. Phil called the play for Kukoc, get over yourself.

Gimme the ball....i'm the best player on the team. It's my shot.

[epo]

That's the call of the coach, not the player. Pippen refused to go back in like a child, Kukoc hit the shot like a man.

That just gets more and more amazing every time I see it. It's even better than Starks'.

Bullshit...you don't think Jordan would've done the exact same thing? Or goddamn Bird? Its an insult that the man had carried the team all year and sacrificed a TON for them, and it was his shot.

He is a loser. He took himself out of a playoff game because of petty bullshit. For that alone the Bulls should have cut his ass the next day.

[TheMojoPin]

Fuck that. That's Phil's call to make not the player. Do I want the player to want the ball? Yes. Should the player run the asylum? Fuck no.

Who cares? It's one play where he acted stupid. Doesn't negate the rest of his career.
