Saw the thread on football and thought it would be neat to see the same in hoops. Who's the all-time best Bama players in the NBA? NOTE: Put greater emphasis on their NBA accomplishments. Mine?

G: Latrell Sprewell
G: T.R. Dunn
F: Derrick McKey
F: Robert Horry (rings, not stats)
C: ?

Sprewell-you may not like some of his antics, but the man brings it & plays hard every night

Horry-Mr. Clutch-5 championship rings

Buck Johnson-nice, steady long career

Derrick McKey-kind of revolutionized the point forward position-played on some great teams at Indiana & Seattle

Antonio McDyess-hard worker & just a great kid, has already been an all star in the league, if not for the knee injuries, he would be have gone down as one of the best power forwards in the history of the game. Still has a chance to win a ring in Detroit

 

[TexasBama]

Reggie, TR, McKey, McDyess, Latrell the 5 best IMO

by position
C - Douglas (he's the only center we've had that played center in the pros to my knowledge)
4 - McDyess
3 - McKey
2 - Latrell
1 - Mo Williams (same situation as Leon)

 

[rolltide217]

Whatley,j robinson,horry,mckey and mcdyess

 

[POWERLINEMAN42]

id agree with all of tider1700's top 5.

Actually TR Moved to the Point for the Denver Nuggets..........didn't he?

 

[TexasBama]

Actually TR Moved to the Point for the Denver Nuggets..........didn't he?

He played the 2 and also the 3 spot. Fat Lever was PG as I remember.

TR led the league in steals one year, and was good rebounder - with Lever, Dan Issel & Alex English, he had to work just get to touch ball

 

[bama mike 21560]

all time

ennis whatley has to be first team.he could take over a game.

 

[BAMA_SECond2Nun]

5.........

Horry, Spree, McKey, McDyess and Benoit.

 

[PattheCatinSaudi]

I would say:

TR Dunn
Mule King
Derrick Mckey
Sprewell
Horry

[PsychoJoe]

Based on their play in the NBA:
G T R Dunn
G Sprewell
F Reggie King
F Robert Horry
C Antonio McDyess


We have never had a more talented player than Ennis Whatley. He had some personal battles with substance abuse problems after he left Bama; otherwise he might well be considered an NBA legend.
