Stars who will be forgotten in 20 years

[Thethirdguy]

Not tryin to hijack L.kizzle's thread so I made my own.

(L.Kizzles thread: http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=184883)

So the question is: Who are the biggest 'star' players of today you think will be forgotten in 20-30 years from now?

[SinJackal]

Melo. Dirk. Amar'e.

McGrady

I disagree with Dirk, he has to be the most successful European born player in NBA history.

Melo is a good answer. He will be a lot like Bernard King. Dirk will be remembered due to being the first real european star.

I don't see it, players we are going to forget are guys who were great but really didn't stand out that much. Vince was the leagues most popular player at one point, his dunks will live on. He is this generations Dominique Wilkins. Guys like Melo, T-Mac, Amare are guys we are going to forget.

Are you serious?


Rondo,Boozer,Roy,and Adam Morrisson.

I don't think Carmelo will be, I can see him getting a title in his career still, while still putting up sick stats.

T-mac is one I want to say, Allen Iverson's impact on the game may be forgotten, Michael Redd(does he count? 26 ppg is pretty good), D-Will, Amare, Joe Johnson, Gasol will be one of those incredibly debated players where people where either argue him to be awesome or really shitty, Yao if he doesn't come back healthy, Brandon Roy potentially, Gilbert?

Sorry for the ramble. Some people I thought would be on the list.

Wade or Lebron. Definitely Bosh.

Logic being: who really talks about Pippen--other than to say he is underrated, which makes my point.

Iverson won't be forgotten, he is a lighting rode and had a huge impact on the NBA and is the most unique player to ever suit up. Gasol will be remembered thanks to the championship Laker teams, everyone else though I agree with.

Melo
Pierce

Dunno. Dirk will never win anything. I don't think anyone here's going to remember him in 20 years. He'll be remembered well in Germany. . .but are we talking about "anywhere", or this country? Everyone's going to be remembered somewhere.
