I can’t get any further than Robert Horry for Bama.


Not to jump in here, but that's a you problem Rohan

- TR Dunn played in the NBA for 14 years and was an all-time great defender.

- Derrick McKey was another great NBA defender, all-rookie team, played for 15 years in the NBA and averaged double digits in PPG over his career. He averaged 12+ PPG from 1989 to 1995.

- Antonio McDyess was an All-Star, played on the Olympic team, played in the NBA for 16 years, averaged a double-double in 1999 and 2001, averaged double figures every season from 1996 to 2002 and was one of the leagues great bench players from 2004 to 2011

- Mo Williams was an All-Star, played in the NBA for 14 years, averaged 13 PPG over his career and 15+ PPG 6 seasons in his career, started 525 games and scored almost 11,000 points

- Latrell Sprewell was a 4x All-Star, 1x Team All-NBA, scored 16,712 pts, averaged 18.3 PPG and played 13 years in the league. He averaged 20+ PPG 4 times and averaged 15+ PPG 12 times. He also choked a frickin coach.

That doesn't mention other guys who had long, solid careers and any person who pays attention to the NBA would know (Enis Whatley, JaMychal Green, Hollywood Robinson, Jason Caffey).

And then there is Robert Horry



So, my point is, if you are over the age of 30 and can't think of any Alabama players from the NBA, you don't really know dick about the NBA.

You left off the most "exciting" Bama basketball player. Don't piss him off because you never know what he might do.

Point taken Summer.
Those still aren’t names that would roll off the top of your head if you weren’t a Bama fan.

I bet you could come up with a more impressive list of LSU names off of the top of your head.
That’s all I’m saying.

Yes because kids on the streets are modeling their games off of Derrick fricking McKey and JaMychal Green. Give me a break.

Summer...I am over 30...couldn’t care if the NBA disappeared today.
LSU has many more recognizable players than Bama.
Not to mention Pistol Pete Maravich and Shaquille O’neil.
Two players that revolutionized the game of basketball, by their style of play. Not to mention their record breaking careers.
But you already know this.
