Shaq might actually get more foul calls in today's era.
Go to the betting exchange and start it up.....type his name in the area for a certain member to be challenged.I will try to find out. I am sure there is an easy way.
That's a lot of words just to show you're wrong.
Or MAYBE...
You should have actually read the post and learn the true meaning of "accountability", a concept he had emphasized in regards to making bad draft picks.
Or maybe...you should take Wiggy's dick out of your mouth and shut the fuck up since you, as usual, have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
There's no two ways about it - Bowie was an an awful draft choice, even if you take away the fact that he was taken ahead of Jordan. Even when he was healthy, he showed flashes of being a solid starter, but not an all-star and certainly not worthy of the #2 overall pick.
The two picks after Jordan were Sam Perkins and Charles Barkley, either of which would have been a better pick than Bowie at that spot. And once he started getting injured, they gave up on him as soon as they realized they had a better option in Kevin Duckworth.
Very smart comment and true.Both Barkley and Perkins were power forwards (although Perkins did play some center). They also had Mychal Thompson and Kenny Carr as their PF's. Both of them were pretty good. They needed a center. They drafted for need.
Also, they didn't acquire Duckworth until 1986 when Bowie's injuries had already started. So no, they didn't "realize they had a better option". They went and got him because of Bowies injuries.
Duckworth averaged 11.8 ppg, 5.8 rpg and 0.9 apg for his mostly injury free career.
Bowie, fighting injuries for his entire career, averaged 10.9 ppg, 7.5 rpg and 2.1 apg.

Hmmm, I get that you don't like it when HurricaneDij schools you on the boards,
i was appalled at how bad thibs was out coached. He made no adjustments, he had bad set plays, bad in bound plays, relied on Derrick Rose. I cant tell you enough how much i blame the coaching for this.In all honesty, nothing. Sure, they were competing for about the #3 seed prior to the Butler injury, but the team is already falling apart just 1 season into the Butler teaming up with Towns/Wiggins experiment. Wiggins and Towns have both failed to develop to their full level of potential under Thibs, who has proven a terrible coach in the modern NBA who runs his starters into the ground (see Butler injury and all the injuries his style caused in Chicago). Bringing in Derrick Rose and giving him significant playing time in their brief playoff time was bad for the development of their young guys, too.
Now Butler is already vocal about how he won't resign with the team as is, and seemingly wants Towns out for sure. He also didn't seem to mesh very well with Wiggins. Clearly, the plan to have those three act as a "big three" together isn't working out the way they'd hoped. Probably two of those three key guys will end up leaving the team within the next year or two, putting them right back at square one in rebuilding mode. This team will always be bad, as the only star player they've ever had who actually wanted to be in Minnesota was Kevin Garnett, and even he got tired of the organization before bailing to win a title with Boston.
