He IS one of the all time greats.....That IS what I'm saying...
Can you hear me now? IMPO "all time greats" go to the hall of fame.....Answer this....Will Robert Horry be inducted?

He may Dumars got in.
bigspizz;1766055; said:He IS one of the all time greats.....That IS what I'm saying...
No he is NOT one of the all time greats....that's what I'M saying. He's hit a few shots, that's all he's done in his career. Most of his rings weren't even as a starter. Averaged what, like 8 ppg his career......sorry.
maybe he'll be a 2058 honorary inductee......

Hey you can try and poke fun if you want, he's the one that called them great, but remember, if you want to poke fun at the Pistons............they have a ring.
scoreboard.
pdbrady;1765946; said:Wow, the lack of respect is amazing. To say they've never won a title makes them "not great" is ridiculous. KG doesn't act like he's won anything, he acts like he's on a mission TO win it. He carried the wolves for years, and noone can argue that. His closest thing to help was Marbury....WOOHOO! Seriously, is this the Detroit fan coming out? Hating the better team? You've had nothing but hate for the team that beat the sh*t out of the entire league. They have put a team together that can beat any team in the league. None of the other "greats" won until they did the same. Nevermind, I get what you're saying. That puts Robert Horry among the greatest to ever play the game, since he has 7 rings.
Actually, the question is, why should I call them great? 2 years ago the Pistons won like 70 games, then got beat by the Heat in the playoffs. Was that a great team? No. Because what did they do? All that matters is titles. Thats it. If you want me to respect them, I do, they are very good, but great? You gotta earn that.
BTW, I love the somber T-Wolve's fans who are all over their boy KG now, because they're just so happy that now he can go win a title....awwww isn't that cute. Give me a break. Try telling him that if he didn't break their bank, they could've gotten some more talent to hold him up (ask Karl Malone about that). And Ilove the argument that he had no one around him. Weren't they a #1 seed? Yeah, their guys were so bad they were the best in the West.....

My point exactly. Even the "greats" have their troubles, just like Atlanta in 7.

What?
pdbrady;1766762; said:
What I'm saying is there is a difference between those 2 teams.
This Piston group= Ring
KG Celtics = 0 Ring
The Celtics are not a great team yet. They could be, but they haven't earned it yet. The Pistons have.

Sorry, not a wolves fan, but thanks for the "cute" complement. Respect is all that my point was. You were hating on someone elses props to them. If you want the earned, give them the chance to do it before you hate on them. It's not an individual KG or even Allen or Pierce thing, it's a team thing. Just like your Detroit team couldn't have done it without the players they had in place. It's funny, there's really not many "in betweeners" with Boston this year. It's either bandwagon or burn the wagon. I'm just in the middle with respect for a team with huge possibilities, just like NO.

I'm not taking anything from Detroit. There's a reason they have that ring.
