Ok so im not really sure what this will be about, happened to watch a game today where MJ put up a lazy 69, just to remind me why he is the greatest, what really stood out to me was his defense, we all know he was a great defender, but so many little hands deflecting passes, slapping balls away etc etc, anyway what im getting at is everybody knows about the megastars, mj, magic bla bla. But not having seen much of Mark Price in his playing days, i was a bit wow. I always remember his cards for being the best free throw shooter but as a kid you only got to see 1 game a week on the saturday. This guy could seriously seriously play, not bad for a white boy!! Game also featured a very young steve kerr.. I want to hear about the guys who were stars but not necessarily in the spotlight as much.
 
Adrian Dantley, Bernhard King, Mark Aguirre, Alex English and so many others. They played extremely well, had finesse in their game and a great shooting touch.

King for example at 6-7ft. had seasons with a FGPCT of 58.8% and 56.6% and another year, were he scored 32.9 Points per Game for a full season (1984-85, Jordans Rookie year), while shooting 53% from the floor.
Adrian Dantley had 4 (!!!) consecutive season of at least 30 PPG.
Todays NBA has exactly 1 player (Dwyane Wade), who is 6-7ft. or under, scored at least 17 PPG and shot at least 48.5% from the floor. Alex English did that for 11 consecutive seasons.

These guys were all terrific. They not just knew how to shoot the ball, but also when to shoot the ball.
