Message: [QUOTE="Spaceman213J, post: 4476820, member: 6477"] Unique can mean so many things. If you mean what they could bring to a game, I'd go with. 1.Andrew Jackson 2.Donyelll Marshall 3.Doron Sheffer 4.John Gwynn 5.Emeka Okafor 6.Nadav Henefeld Though a mile apart athletically inclined, I think Jackson and Henefeld had the same affect on their teams. They made everybody around them better and could make an impact without scoring. Not to say "The Dove" couldn't score, but he could impact a game in other ways with just as much meaning. I still miss Sheffer and his ability to drop dimes from 60 feet away with pinpoint accuracy. Donyell was just a freak and I loved to watch Okafor work. Sanogo reminds me of him in the way he will just outwork and outwill an opponet at times. Finally, Gwynn was just instant offense and despite his size could do a few different ways. There are others who were unique in their own ways. It's hard to go wrong here. What about Toraino, Thabeet, Taliek (the one man fastbreak) Brown, DePriest, C. Smith, Allen, Caron Butler....etc. I still don't think the Walker, Lamb title team gets enough credit for their defense during the tourney. People talk about how bad the teams the faced had horrible shooting nights. That team was not real big, but they had surprising length. Lamb and Oriakhi had unusually long arms... to the point where if you ever faced someone like that, it's a nightmare. You are constantly adjusting your shot mid-shot which is not good usually. Walker was a great on the ball defender. [/QUOTE]
