Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2720267, member: 1329"] I'm not as young as you think. Your memory isn't as good as you think (nor is mine). The fallacy of declaring anyone who happened to win when they had more talent as more clutch or having that "it" factor is preposterous. There's a reason the Pistons never won until Hall of Famers Dumars and Rodman came into their own (other than Bird's back) and they traded for Aguirre. Zeke was even slightly on the downslope during their Finals years, but they had their best teams. Thomas, Dumars, Rodman, Laimbeer, and Dantley/Aguirre ALL made multiple All-Star games. 5 guys on that team! Plus you could argue Vinnie Johnson was better than some of those guys, and Mahorn/Salley were really good on defense that year, too. They were loaded. Much more loaded than any Chris Paul team has been.. so he's a disappointment despite playing well in the playoffs and Thomas is obviously a better PG historically. Thanks GM Doc! The Clippers 4th best player, Redick has a strong similarity score to the Piston's 6th best (or so), Vinnie Johnson. [/QUOTE]
