role player hollafame - nominations

charles oakley

ah oakley is kinda the ultimate - nice symmetry complimenting the ultimate star - and i luv how he smacks motherfuckers who dont have his money

Robert Horry, much as I hate him

Larry Nance
Hot Rod Williams
Jeff Malone
Fat Lever
Hersey Hawkins (esp. Barkley years)

Rex Chapman seconded.

sean elliott, 2-time all-star, great swingman and 3-point shooter on the wing of d robinson, current wife is local lifestyle columnist (writing kinda sucks but she's cuet)

mario elie
horace grant
terry porter
bill laimbeer

derek fisher
mario elie
avery johnson
mark jackson

o shit remember when the knicks would roll out the two headed pg monster of charlie ward and chris childs? not that those dudes deserve to be in here, i just remembered them and laughed

oh you beat me with mario elie!!

charlie ward won the heisman and played hoops, always thought that was bananas!

also not fond of female reporters in the locker room
a truly complex individual

meanwhile, In 2002, Childs also made the news when he was robbed at gunpoint in an incident at a Manhattan nightclub owned by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. He allegedly lost over $30,000 in jewelery and cash.

childs vs. kobe fight was funny

Larry Nance was a bit more than a role player, no? I didn't watch as much back then. As was Hersey Hawkins at one point iirc but I don't remember his different phases

bj armstrong belongs in the bulls role player hof. i remember my buddies and i joking that he was called bj because he was "only" 6'2". we were infantile.

horace grant
cliff robinson
arvydas sabonis

good call on h grant. crucial to that 1st Bulls 3peat.

vinny microwave johnson!

fat lever was unreal for a few years there -
per game averages from 87-90 - 19 pts, 9 boards, 7.5 dimes, 2.5 steals. and the dude was 6'3"!!

Lever is one of only three players in NBA history to record 15 plus points, rebounds, and assists in a single playoff game (the others being Jason Kidd and Wilt Chamberlain).

Sam Perkins always delivered. He had a big ass, and a sweet shot from the corner.

he had perhaps the definitive bird legs

is vernon maxwell too fucked up to be a role player?

terry cummings

darrell griffith aka 'the golden griff'

i'm willing to put rafer alston on here just because

cornbread maxwell. if only for his "jump on my back boys" speech and for going into the crowd in philly.

Vinnie "Microwave" Johnson
Sasha Vujacic
And if Bowen is on the list, so is Shane Battier

I think Dennis Rodman has a pretty good chance of making the HoF or at least he would if wasn't such a weirdo.

Anyway:

Andrew Toney
Byron Scott
Joe Dumars
Mychal Thompson
Jeff Hornaceck

Eddie Johnson
Marcus Camby
Charles Oakley
Roy Tarpley (so so sad)

Didn't see that Hornaceck and Oakley were above!

danny manning (his star days were short-lived but he still had a good shot after his knees went)
anthony peeler
walt williams

A.C. Green
Drazen Petrovic :(

yeah other than ewing it seemed like everybody on those knicks teams were role players

basically what i am saying is, charles motherfucking oakley

i also remember watching a game where dennis rodman actually put the ball up and scored and everybody laughed, both in the game, in the booth, and in my house

did you guys know that the suits charles oakley wore to games always contained threads matching the jersey color of the knicks' opponents that day??

Rodman was ridiculously good (seriously better than everyone else listed here.) Is he still not Hall eligible because he's playing in Finland or whatever?

tyrone hill was pretty tough. didn't know or didn't remember he had an all-star appearance!

serious question: how to formulate poll? separate polls by position or backcourt/frontcourt? just one poll and take top 5 vote gettas?

I never saw this before I love "Best roleplayer eveDETLEF".

ANTHONY MASON

RULES
you can vote for 5 players who have never been all-stars or all-nba. they've gotta be out of the league for at least 5 years. it's 2015. do math.

secret ballots to be emailed by clicking on my name. Poll open until...I dunno, end of February okay?

should we do nominations or something

muggsy bogues!

honorable mention for dudes like michael finley who had 1-2 all star seasons that they converted into 8-10 solid role player years of slowly diminishing performance

i feel like there's a slew of guys like this that almost made it/made it and quickly dropped off but maintained an overall solid game for several years

To clarify, eligible players did not play in the 2010-2011 season or later.

If a player was third-team NBA, is he eligible?

If a player was an all-star injury replacement, is he eligible?

i would still rather do the future ballot thing. i'm 25, I love watching old games when i can but i just don't know old rosters deeply enough to contribute more than what's already listed itt

No nom, pick 5
Third team nba is all nba, so disqualified
If you are voted to or played in all star game, you are disqualified

This HOF does not exclude other democratic actions you may wish to undertake

Just an update: I have received no votes. In the event of no votes, I will pick myself because I invented hall of fames.

I still kinda want to do this, this could be a thing

holy shit this thread is just a permanent blemish on the internet to remind everyone of what a flake i am

ps

I still kinda want to do this, this could be a thing
