Have you ever seen Bogues in person? Massive thighs and arms so long on his frame that when he'd bounce around (so quick!) you'd wonder if he'd ever got knuckle scrapes from walking around. I remember seeing him in a pre-game (before they opened the stadium to public) one-on-one with Manute Bol when they were both with the Bullets. This was in the old Chicago Stadium. No joke. Bogues was launching these rainbows over Bol, the arc of the shots must have been in the 30-40 foot-range at the peak. And I recall most of them were going in. (When Bol turned sideways, he almost disappeared. Like a walking stick. What a huge contrast to Bogues!) Someone with Bogues' dimensions and quickness, but with another foot and a half, would grab 30 rebounds a game.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

Most of the posts are good, some are just laughable:

such as:

Blake Griffin OD ? Are u kidding me?

Big Z Inside Shot? The guy is a 4th option on offense at best!

Laimbeer does NOT have legendary range. He used to shoot a tippy-toes just behind the line three pointer. He WAS a legendary instigator and dirty player.

Lots of people have Jordan for OD, but no one lists Scottie Pippen, who always drew the primary defensive assignment.

No mention of Michael Cooper for Defense. What about Kevin McHale for Inside Shot?

The discussion shouldn't be about whether Rodman was a better rebounding than Wilt. They are both legendary rebounders. We're not trying to crown a champion...

Lebron is scary in the fact that he could easily be legendary in a whole bunch of stats before he's done. You could already make arguments for Jump Range, Driving, Shot Blocking, and a lesser argument for Passing, Handling, Jump Shot, Rebounding, Outside Defense...

Is Larry Bird a legendary passer? He doesn't get as many assists as Nash or Magic, but he also wasn't the primary ball handler.

For Stamina, keep in mind there is no such thing as legendary. It only goes up to proficient.

For Free Throws, keep in mind there is no such thing as legendary free throws or stamina. They only go up to proficient.


Stamina goes to Prominent; Free Throws goes to Legendary.

Lebron has never been a lockdown defender, nor is he a good shot blocker. He's a good weak side defender and shot blocker when help defending.

Seriously, legendary JS and JR? Please.

There are (supposedly) 20 000 women who can testify as to whether Wilt Chamberlain's stamina was proficient or legendary...

Sounds right. Let me guess, you're from the Greek part of Cyprus?
