    Yeah, that's the thing with Rasheed, he could have been a monster in the post, but for some reason he chose to shoot 3s and more outside shots instead of banging inside. If he varied his game and went inside the paint more often while also mixing that up with some outside shooting, he really could have been very, very hard to guard. The weed may have also had an impact on him not realizing his full potential and really going after it to be the best at his position. I still like the guy though.

    Derrick Coleman, I was too young to see play, but he was still around when I first started getting into the NBA, and I too have heard people say that he was one of the most talented players they've seen. I don't have the same opinion, but that is only based on the very little that I've actually seen of him. I only saw highlights on NBA action and it was mostly offensive plays, so I don't know much about his game. How was he on the other side of the ball? Was he also decent on defense or was it all offense with him? Also, didn't he get lazy, fat, out of shape and lost his game?
    DC had bottle problems.

    Sheed could've been better but I've never bought the he could've been the PF GOAT argument. He had that fadeaway in the post but I don't remember his post game being very refined aside from that.

    As far as Diaw goes, he's basically our new Horry with elite passing ability tbh.

    He could have been a less freakish Lebron, slightly less athletic and not built as strong but otherwise he has the same skill set. Certainly could have played in All Star games.
    I don't know if you read the barefoot/cappuccino story about Boris at the Suns facility. The Suns had their summer draft workout kids in, and Boris was in doing work. They had the "sticks" set up to measure verticals, and he asked what they were for. They told him, he took off his flip flops, put down his capucino and cleared the entire rack, something not even a young/prime Amare was ever able to do. He might not have been strong, but he was every bit as athletic as LBJ.

    Karl Malone once said he would be putting up Wilt numbers if he had Derrick Coleman's talent IIRC..

    Derrick Coleman was that good? What was his game about on offense?

    How was he on defense?
