Again, there's a reason no one, NO ONE, has signed him. I would rather have big Perk, a guy that brings very little other than acting as an enforcer, who has won and know what it takes, than a guy like McGee who has all the athletic ability in the world but has been called lazy, uncoachable, and uninterested. Pass.

There was a reason no one signed bird man, then the heat did and he was a big reason they won the ship.

Agreed, but I don't think I've ever heard Birman called lazy, uncoachable, or uninterested. He's widely been known as the exact opposite: an energy player who's willing to do the dirty work. I'll take that type of player all day, every day over a guy who has all the talent in the world but isn't interested in using it.

To be fair....I believe JR Smith had some of the same things said about him. And he might be in the top 5 of my fav Cavs ever lol.

Something wrong with me having him in my Top 5 favorite players?

Seems odd to me. He's been a cav a few months. Makes me think you've only been a Cavs fan since 2009 or something.

The above article and picture, are why he's gets inclusion in to my Top 5 list, even though are from when he was knick Also not like the Cavs have had a lot of exciting players in the last 20 years, which is how long I've been a Cavs fan.

And since you seem to care how someone else ranks their favorite players, he'd probably get slotted in to #5.

Z
KI
LBJ
Mo (Strictly for Snubbing LBJ when he returned)
JR

Until JR came in with his craziness, Delonte used to hold that spot.

Price got traded not soon after I started following them, Z was drafted the next year, and stuck with him since then.

LBJ's a bitch, he wont ever crack my top 5 unless we win one.

Z
Price
Carr
KI
Andy rounds out my top 5.

Daughtery
Nance
Hot Rod
Harper
Mo Williams for snubbing LBJ gets into my top 10 though.

How are you making top 5's and not including Mr. Triple-Double himself...


I was only about 5 or so during the Price/Daughtery/Nance/Hot Rod days, so I don't remember much...but I started thinking about some of the guys that played on some of those teams from when I was 5th/6th/7th grade. Bobby Phills, Chris Mills, Tyrone Hill, and my favorite...Bobby Sura.

I was a big fan of Terrell Brandon. He only had a few great years, but he was solid and very efficient. Part of the reason I practiced free throws so much as a youngster.

I STILL want one of these jerseys...

sasha pavlovic and Dajuan Wagner are my most disappointing Cavs.

Wasn't his claim to fame dropping 100 in a high school game or something?

Yes. But, not just that. Probably the best HSer to come out of NJ. He averaged like 45 pts as a senior and dropped 25 in the McD AA Game. I remember watching it live thinking he was the next AI.

And he was damn good his only year at Memphis. I think he was over 22 a game.

Intense first quarter, pretty physical. Perkins in early to bang Randolph around some.
