Players That Earned Your Respect

[kanto-terrorist]

Tayshaun Prince and Boris Diaw: very low profile yet so smooth and effective. If im a coach, i'll sell my soul to get players like them.

well to be sure he had a lot of nicknames, all alluding to the fact that he scrambled after loose balls like a madman.

 

he was also once called the Garbageman (with a subtitle turning Garbage into Gold)

 

Those were some of the days that I wished Joe Cantada was still alive.

Medyo Out of Topic pero dito na rin post.........(sayang lang pag gagawa pa ng bago thread dahil konti lang mga coaches)

 

Red Auerbach and Baby Dalupan........Greatest Coach of Basketball

 

for me, coach Don Nelson and Mike Fratello

 

don Nelson - probably the mad scientist of the NBA. pioneered the "small-ball", "hack-a-shaq", "point-forward position" and turning a 7 foot german into a freakin 3 point shooter (imagine what he can do to Yao Ming if he's his coach.) So crazy, so creative.

 

Mike Fratello - His cavaliers stint is such a good study on how to turn a garbage team into a playoff contenders. He had done it with the cavaliers of early 90s, without any superstar. He innovates the "slow-ball" offense coupled with air-tight defense, and always keeping the score low as low it can be.

Manute Bol, he left the NBA to help the people in his native wartorn Sudan. That cost him his career and risk his life for his people.

mutumbo - a good man who gives back to his coutnry men.

 

lance armstrong - a very strong person indeed.

 

raul - a real captain of the galaktikos

 

van nistelrooy - eto malapit na...1-2 more years of lots of goals and beating barca a championship kahit na si henry nsa kanila..he'll earn my respect..

Caron Butler

steve nash.. before pushover lang to, but when he had the chance to show and play his game.. he succeeded and even won mvp honors twice. although wala pa syang championship ring, i can say that he's one of those guys (including reggie miller) that we can call a "winner".

Hulk Hogan

Rudy the destroyer Distrito.. he lived up to his monicker even after his playing days! kaya nyo yon???

Chot Reyes

[VFrankl]

Lance Armstrong

 

Samboy Lim

 

David Robinson

 

Tim Duncan

 

Michael Jordan

 

Reggie Theus

 

Detlef Schrempf

 

 

I would have to agree with you with Tim Duncan, when Tony Parker was asked about winning his MVP award he referred to Tim Duncan, he said that the team revolved around this humble but effective guy. Though he's marketing nightmare but he's the epitome of sportsmanship and selflessness.
