Sheed FTW!!

No answers? Who else were we going to bring in with that money? Exactly. Nobody. That contract did exactly nothing to hurt the product on the floor, it just cost Jody Allen a tiny fraction of her inheritance... boo freaking hoo.

It's a joke that you even tried to make this comparison, and it's frankly insulting to the memory of this team. Heh heh... actually kind of like Rasheed Wallace...

lol

 

[kjironman1]

Yeah I read it. It directly contradicted your forever rant about Wallace being mad for no reason and that Sabas was just doing his job. Flailing one's gigantic arms wildly to try to draw a foul and repeatedly striking teammates in the face isn't textbook D, it's a dangerous play. Was it an ideal or even an appropriate response by Wallace? Again, of course not. Should Sabas have been repeatedly wildly flailing his arms in the first place trying to emphasize Shaq's ridiculous bull rushes to the hoop, especially after previously injuring a teammate? Nope, thats not ideal either. Were both of their behaviors completely equal in every way? No of course not. But both were behaviors that could have been modified.

Lol at the responses saying PDX would have won a title had it not been for Wallace's behavior. Those were the heavy handed David Stern days when the small market teams were always smacked down by his minion officials. The infamous 4th Quarter, Sabas picked up 3 fouls in 4 minutes fouling out for repeatedly throwing his neck into O'Neal's elbows. PIP was limping around and (of course) had dislocated 2 fingers on his shooting hand that caused him to miss game 6, so that left Wallace as the best PDX Blazer player. While D and team play on offense was always his calling card, he led Portland in scoring 5 of those 7 games including 30 in game 7. But the Lakers knew they could throw the Blazers around without consequence when it mattered and did so on both ends as thats how it was always officiated it for the big markets... hell, thats why Kobe & Shaq had forced their way into LA! I recall Smitty losing his shit over how he was being absolutely manhandled without calls. That was that Portland teams only real shot but the results were all Stern. The next season Sabas, Pip & Smith were another year further along on the wrong side of 30 and Bonzi then blew out his knee. In Portland's void, small market Sacramento famously got the same exact business from Stern's officials the next season. Called straight up, both the Blazers & Kings were superior teams to those Lakers. The Pistons got the straight up officiating vs that same lineup a couple years later and easily swept them.

Sounds like you think you can guard Shaq.
Whatever.
Raweed certainly couldn’t.
Praise him all you want. I will stay on record saying my opinion is he Cost them the chip. And he cost the franchise a bunch more.

Oh and trying to blame Stern for the things Rasheed Wallace did? Sure some will buy that.

 

[kjironman1]

Absolutely, I'm not afraid of the comparison. Some are.

Well I just can’t really see the correlation beings Roy has been lauded for bringing the Blazers back to respectability from the era Sheed lead them in.
Apples and oranges to me.

When last I saw him, Roy seemed to be rounding into an apple...

The lol is much deserved. You're talking like you own stock in BRoy.

Last time I saw him he was at a Blazer Game. Got a standing ovation two years ago.
Can’t remember Sheed going to a Blaxer game though he might have? Certainly didn’t get a standing O for being there?

Holy motherfucker did Sheed getting a HUGE ovation. I was sitting right across from him and the crowd went insane. (I think @Scalma's picture is from that game.)

Like i said can't remember? I didn't see it and i wasn't there if it happened. But if it did i'm glad Portland showed him respect. I would have clapped politely for sure. But that would have been all from me. The guy didn't do anything positive for this franchise in my opinion and has never said anything good about the fan base that i have ever read. I will admit up front that i don't go looking for things Rasheed Wallace says about Portland or their fan base.

Dont lie. We know you are secretly infatuated with him to the point you have to outwardly project hatred towards him to hide your true feelings!

By asking how that contract hurt the team? I notice you didn't provide any examples either. I didn't even bring Roy up...

Sheed doesn't belong in the conversation of any of the Blazer greats, except to mention his extraordinary potential and that he was too much of a cancer to be seriously considered in the conversation.

Sheed's so far behind Sabonis and Pippen in that conversation it's not even funny. And most people probably put Roy ahead of both.

 

[blazerkor]

Sheeds antics screwed up the chemistry on that team, or it would have won a title.

He had all the tools. But he was too selfish to do what was necessary. He sabataged that team. He was nothing without Pippen and Sabonis.

He did his job for about 3 months with Detroit. That was his career right there.

He could have been right there with KG and TD for his whole career. But other than those 3 months he was a professional shit show.

Statistically speaking Sheed owned both Pippen and Sabas. He carried them more than the other way around. As far as sabotage goes, please give me an example of how he "sabotaged" the team.

Rasheed was a Blazer great and an NBA great and also a huge part of one of the best Blazer teams ever assembled. Very misunderstood. Dude was cool. He was passionate.

BRoy was revelation, who reinvigorated the franchise after some terrible years. But putting him ahead of Sabas or Pippen or Sheed is a joke. He was damaged goods, both as a player and a leader.

 

[Phatguysrule]

How about undermining the coach and pouting to the point that the coach quit calling plays for a 10 game stretch only to see Sheed's effort improve immensely over that stretch?

How about throwing that towel in Sabas face?

How about refusing to do his mandatory workouts to the point that he chose to pay a fine every month instead?

How about a young player in working on his free throws alone (he thought), getting hit in nuts with a ball, and looking up to see Sheed and another player running off giggling like little girls?

Real team building experiences right? Do I really need to go on?

Dude was a cancer.

*Edit* Oh, and Sabonis in his day was considered the best player in the world by many people.

Pippen was voted one of the top 50 players in NBA history.

Sheed never had to worry about any of that.

 

[dviss1]

Wallace refused to give give my kids an autograph once because.....and I quote.....we were white

So he never have a white fan an autograph?

Snowflake...

Your reading comprehension remains truly pathetic.... and hilarious! I don't think it would be possible to sum up what I said any more inaccurately then you just did. Good thing you put that confusion "on record" though honestly, no one cares.

Sheed was the best player on that team. Both Pippen and Sabas were past their primes, I shouldn't have to say that because you knew it when you posted this non-sense. The towel incident was because Sabas had twice flailed trying to draw a foul and in the process raked Sheed across the face. Most of the rest of your points are unsubstantiated hearsay. You didn't and don't like Sheed, that doesn't change the fact that he was the best player on this team and twice was the best part of teams that should have won it all.

They certainly should have won it all. And if Wallace hadn't been so busy destroying the chemistry on the team they may well have done exactly that, rather than shitting the bed every time the going got tough.

Those other points were verified.

He was a piece of shit teammate except for the 3 months following both Portland and Atlanta shipping his ass out of town.

 

[AldoTrapani]

When I was 15 I worked at the Lloyd center area Burger King, Sheed pulled up in drive thru in his black S550 Benz, excitingly I greeted him and asked how he was doing he responded by asking how much his total was...

 

[AldoTrapani]

I seen him recently as well he’s fat as hell now

My reading comprehension is fine. Though I would submit that the confusion is yours. Of course yours isn’t really “Hilarious “ but merely “Pathetic “. We can keep that on record also because obviously everyone cares what your opinion is.

Anxiously waiting your reply!
kjironman is a fan!!!

I just had to go back and look at the stats...

Lol. Yeah, Sheed totally dominated.

Except that he barely put up better numbers than Sabonis, even though Sheed was the focal point of the offense and played more minutes. Per 36 Sabonis had far better stats. Even at that advanced age with his legs shot Sabonis scored just as well (without being the focal point of the offense), passed better, rebounded WAY better, blocked better, was a better 3pt shooter and ft shooter.

I still can't believe Sheed was 7 ft tall and only got 7rpg... LMAO!!!

"Great"... dude's nickname should have been "Candy Cane"

That's not even close to what was said. I'm not sure what you're implying, unless you're just flat out calling the guy a liar. Which seems extreme. How would you know anything about it, unless Sheed is a close personal friend of yours?

 

[Phatguysrule]

BRoy is so far ahead of Sheed in this conversation that it's a joke we're even discussing it. Legitimately, a sad freaking joke.

 

[Mediocre Man]

B Roy was, and remains, one of the most overrated Blazers of all time
