Switching Gears.... Hawks Five.

[capstone21]

Nique > Pippen

Different type of players...nique big edge with scoring and clutch situations....Pippen gets for d, ball handling, fundamentals and passing. Rebounding about even. If I needed a league dog,I would want Nique...if I needed a second player I would want Scottie

[capstone21]

Btw....wasn't Oscar a point guard???

Btw....wasn't Oscar a point guard???

Yes.

[Diesel]

Mookie

Joe

Nique

Horford

Deke

I thought about Horf at PF but Horf has never played PF for a season. That's like saying Joe at SF or Nique as SG.

[Diesel]

Unlike Malone, I want to keep players in the positions that they played the most.

So... rethink it.

Deke vs. Horf vs. Tree vs. Theo vs. Zaza

Shareef vs. Willis vs. Smoove vs. Al Harrington

Big Dog vs. Nique vs. Marvin vs. Kukoc (did he meet the 2 yr min).

Augmon vs. Joe Johnson vs. Smitty vs. Jim Jackson vs. Josh Childress

Mookie vs. Doc vs. Bibby vs. Teague vs. Terry

MY NEXT QUESTION...

ALL TIME, WHICH HAWKS (players or coaches or owners or GMs) GO ON THE FACE OF ATLANTA HAWKS MT. RUSHMORE??

I got:

Nique, Petite, ... I have to think hard about the other two??

MT Rushmore status = significant play that puts the city on the map.

[frosgrim]

I go with

Doc

JJ

Nique

Shareef, though Willis certainly would be a fine choice here as well

Deke

[lethalweapon3]

I'm going with Mookie+Doc+Nique+Willis+Tree. Our more modern players would make a nice bench.

This is mine too but I do think Shareef is severely underrated because he was on so many bad teams. You can say he dominated the ball too much but he really carried some teams as best he could. Joe is probably a better all around player than Smitty but Smitty was more consistent and to me had more of a killer instinct.

Mt. Rushmore? Nique for sure. Petit. I don't know after that. We just don't have anyone else who really was the face of the Hawks. Deke was great but had more success after he left. Still a great Atlantan.

[Diesel]

I guess the bottom line is that we have been an unsuccessful franchise.

We really only have 2 guys who can fit on our Mount Rushmore.

When compared to a team like Orlando. They are a much younger team than us... and on their mount rushmore:

Shaq, Penny, D12, and TMac... and that's just after a few years.

OKC already have: Durant and Westbrook.

I guess we fall in with other small timers like Indiana, Utah, and Milwaukee.

I don't know about that. To me Tmac in orlando is like Smitty here. Shaq in orlando is like lebron in cleveland. I don't think clevland would put lebron on their rushmore.

The thing is that Shaq and D12 make the Mount Rushmore because both guys took their team to the finals. Not to mention gave Orlando a fan base.
