These are guys only true fans of the history of the game back to 1970's know but were great ball players

Sadly, I'm not sure many young guys want to know the history of the game or understand the concept of "Pioneers"

They/He played in a weak era and dominated trash. They/He would be D-Leaguers today

Yes he did. He was on the training camp roster.

Fred "Downtown Freddie" Brown (born August 7, 1948 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is a former professional basketball player. A 6'3" guard from the University of Iowa, he played 13 seasons (1971–1984) in the NBA, all with the Seattle SuperSonics. Known for his accurate outside shooting, Brown was selected to the 1976 NBA All-Star Game and scored 14,018 points in his career.

Brown finished his senior year at the University of Iowa in 1971, averaging 27.6 points per game[1], and was selected by the Kentucky Colonels in the American Basketball Association draft and selected 6th overall by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1971 NBA Draft. His NBA career got off to a slow start, as he averaged only 4.2 points per game in 33 games as a rookie, playing behind veteran guards Lenny Wilkens and Dick Snyder. Following Wilkens' trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1972, Brown saw more playing time and his scoring average rose to 13.5 and 16.5 points per game in the next two seasons.

After Snyder was traded to the Cavaliers in 1974, Brown's output increased again, to 21.0 points per game in the 1974-75 season and he finished fifth in the league in steals per game. In the 1975-76 season, Brown had an All-Star season finishing fifth in the NBA in both scoring average and free throw percentage.

Brown was captain of the SuperSonics' 1978-79 NBA championship team. Often among the league leaders in free-throw percentage, Brown also led the NBA in three-point shooting percentage in the 1979-80 season—the first season in which the three-point line was adopted by the league.

When he retired in 1984 Brown was the SuperSonics' all-time leader in:

Games played (963)
Points scored (14,018)
Field goals (6,006)
Free throws (1,896)
Brown still holds the team's all-time marks for points in a regular season game with 58, points in a playoff game with 45 (a record shared with Ray Allen), and steals in a game with 10 (a record shared with Gus Williams).

How the **** is James Worthy forgotten? Most overrated "superstar" in NBA history, top-50 all-time my azz. Its a joke that he's on that list and someone like Dominique Wilkins was left off...

[RainierBeachPoet]

bernard king!!





the original king!!

[momo]

Alvin Robertson, only swingman to ever put up a quadruple-double, and only one to do it with steals

Thats sick!

~~~

Michael Cooper. Seriously. Never hear about cooper.

Coop was such a fantastic defender and did so many things that just are not that glamorous in this highlight era. Ran the floor well. Had range.

Probably easy to get overlooked on a squad with Magic. He was really freeking good!

Sean Elliott



He was a great, solid player, first player to return to the NBA after an organ transplant and responsible for one of my all-time favourite dunks:
