how good was Chris Mullin ?

[DatDudeD]

I was reading throught the 2nd greatest white player thread and i was curious about chris mullin, i didnt really see him play that often but i know he was a great player, i saw a mix on him and he was the most athletic player but he was very skillful, beautiful shot, good handles and he was suprisingly quick. I just wanted to know how good he actually was ?

Mullin was a real problem...best ball player in St. John's history.

He could have been much much better if he wasn't a lush though.

{I played HS basketball in IN and I used to hear how he was out there with Shawn Kemp getting wasted}

I don't think he's a good enough defender at his position to be put up that high in the rankings.

He is probably the most underrated player in NBA history.

One of my favourite players of the later 80's, early 90's, amazing shooter. Again, imagine how good he'd have been if he could've stayed off the booze early in his career.

yeah i read about how he was a bit of a alcoholic, damn that sucks. Minus the booze how good of a career would he have had ?

Extremely good shooter, but thats about it, defensively he wasn't that good

as good as ginobili

He was a great handler? I just saw highlights, and it was all about shooting skills.

2 things : injuries and warriors management...
damn, this guy is one of the most skilled and intelligent player i've ever seen.
those who talk about his denfense obviously don't remember he read the offense very well and knew how to put his body between the player and the basket. after that, the team was difficult to coach and Nelson has always been a weird coach to me. it was ridiculous to have tim (who held the ball too much imo) mitch, chris, elie and marciulionis. too much talent...

is there someone who remember how he destroyed with a lot of style the Jazz in 89 playoffs?

he really deserved an other career, wasted talent, fu$$ing injuries...

...and he was an alcoholic.

...and he was an alcoholic.

25pts per game at 53% drunk, wow that's i call a performance...

do you know him? do you know which days he was drunk? are you perfect?
i prefer a guy with his own social issues than a kevin garnett who doesn't have more than 3 neurons in his fu**ing head but idolized by tons of morons. this world is unfair.

i only take care of players on the court. i couldn't judge the personal choices of someone i don't know.

Mullin is definitely in the conversation as the best pure shooter in history, but he couldn't do all of the things that Manu can. Not much driving ability, or being able to put a team on his back without somebody feeding him the ball.

he was a beast
