NLSC Greatest of All-Time: #17

-19th number of the many

-#16 was won by Pau Gasol

-#17 doesn't have that much players worthy of consideration

-You can vote for players in any way you want: On-court impact, Off-court impact, championships etc.

Nominees:

1. John Havlicek (1962-63 to 1977-78)

P/36	R/36	A/36	TS%	Ortg	Drtg	PER	Ws/48
20.4	6.2	4.7	.492	Nr	Nr	17.5	.136

* Havlicek stole the ball. And missed a lot of shots. He did win a lot of titles with Russell and some without him.

Havlicek was always a part of very good/great teams, even after Russell retired, yet his Ws/48 never went over .200. His PER barely cracked 20 for three straight years. His TS% was always low, and it's obvious he statistically isn't great as some people think he is.

Nevertheless, he logged major minutes on winning teams.

2. Chris Mullin (1985-86 to 2000-01)

P/36	R/36	A/36	TS%	Ortg	Drtg	PER	Ws/48
20.0	4.5	3.9	.594	115	110	18.8	.139

* In his prime, Mullin was one of the best offensive small forwards in the league. Also a part of the Dream Team.

in 89-90, he posted a season where he scored 25.1 points per game on 121 Ortg, 22.1 PER and .643 TS%. Those are some good numbers.

He had 7 seasons with a TS% over .600, , 6 seasons with his Ortg 115 or higher and his peak offensive numbers were better than those of Havlicek.

The problem is he was never a good defender, and he didn't win a title.


Other Notable Player Shoutout

Louis Amundson wore it for most of his career, crashing the glass when on the court. Mike Dunleavy wore it in Indiana and Milwaukee. Mario Ellie wore it for most of his career, winning a couple of titles in the process. Rick Foxx had a very good year in Boston, but will probably be remembered for the Lakers championship teams and by Christie's fist. Jeremy Lin started Linsanity by wearing it. Jim Pollard is so old they didn't even have per 36 stats in his time. Anderson Varejao is a good rebounder and double-double player. a shame he keeps getting injured. Andrew Bynum really did have some good years in Los Angeles. People even compared him to Dwight, which was nonsense. Stupid Shaq. He was a good scorer, great rebounder and really did help the Lakers on offense. You could argue that he was the best offensive center during that period. Too bad his bowling career was more important. Brent Barry would've been a votable option if he spent his whole career wearing #17. But he had his best years, those in Seattle, wearing another number. He still was incredibly efficient in San Antonio. His Ortg from 2001 to 2009 is 120. His TS% is .629 percent. Had a couple of good Ws/48 years, but Ws/48 is only used as spreading the credit inside the team.

Mullin over.... Havlicek

HOW IS JEREMY LIN NOT A CHOICE???

Hondo, but where is GOAT Bynum?

Bowling Alley with his bowl-shaped hair cut.
