Rasheed Wallace is 6 assists shy...

[TheToothFairy]

Of being the 2nd player in NBA history to total atleast :

15,000 points
5,000 rebounds
2,000 assists
1,000 blocks
1,000 steals
1,000 3pt made

I thought it was a pretty cool stat to know - one of the most unique skill-sets to ever play the game.

Clifford Robinson was the only player to ever achieve that btw - and Dirk is exactly 74 steals shy of joining that group as well.

6 more assists and he'll also be the 12th man in NBA history to ever record the same feat minus the 3pt made, joining the formidable group of :

Hakeem Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kevin Garnett, Patrick Ewing, Julius Erving, David Robinson, Chris Webber, Robert Parish, Jack Sikma, and obviously Clifford Robinson.

I am surprised this list is so small

I guess Pippen didn't have nough Blocks

KG Not enough 3's

I expect Marion to be somewhere around here

Wonder if Lebron and Wade have enough Blks

Maybe Josh Smith and Gay can make this list?


Awesome Job Sheed!

[TheToothFairy]

Marion needs 297 3's and 93 assists

[TheToothFairy]

Kobe would need 402 Blks

[TheToothFairy]

Lebron needs 55 3's. And 403 Blks

[garrick]

Horry might have made this list if he was ever on a bad team and had to be bumped up to 1st or 2nd option.

Nah, he was traded to the Suns and didn't exactly put up all star numbers during his short stint there. I think he just didn't have the mentality to be the man otherwise he wouldn't have pouted after being traded to a Suns team where he could have really stepped up and carried the team.

Durant is at

10579 points
2701 rebounds
1167 assists
395 blocks
494 steals
596 3pt made

That's after basically only five years. Blocks might become a concern down the road, but he should make it

[Beasley]

Scottie Pippen was only a mere 22 three pointers and 53 blocks away from joining this club.

[No_]

Funny, because Sheed's career has basically been a total disappointment. Amazing to me that he has so many fans, he's played dumb for so long and squandered considerable talent.

[branny]

Marion's never gonna make it.. needs almost 300 3 pointers

[bledredwine]

It also shows how underrated and forgotten Cliff Robinson was.


He was a fantastic all-around player and could score with the best of the perimeter players.

[28reloaded]

Durant is well on his way.

If he keeps up his current averages, he'll end the season around 12000 points, 3200 rebounds, 1500 assists, 700 3's made, 550 steals, 450 blocks.

[JustAwesome]

the main differences are that Sheed was a better defensive player than Robinson and has a much better post game. Granted, Sheed doesn't use his post moves enough- but he has all of the skills on the block

The gap between them as defensive players isn't much. Robinson was a more committed defender. He also didn't take himself out of plays as often because he was upset with a call. He used his length well to harass perimeter players.

He and Jermaine O'Neal will always be huge what-if's, and you can throw Webber in there as well. All three of those guys could've been top 5 PF's to ever play if they lived up to their potential

Man, I think about Rasheed a lot when I see him play. So disappointing what he could have been.

Remember him back in Carolina just playing video games (arcade at that time all day). Didn't work at all. Basketball just came naturally to him. No motivation, no work ethic.

Out of the 3 ACC freshmen bigs: Joe Smith, Tim Duncan and Sheed--Sheed was by far the most talented. Joe Smith rocked that year. Sheed left after his freshman year. Duncan was just raw but really developed in 4 years in into one of the greatest ever.

If Sheed had Duncan's work ethic and mindset, he probably would be greatest power forward to play the game -- bar none.

What you said here reminds me of the potential of Derrick Coleman. If he had Duncan's or Karl Malone's work ethic...man, I don't even want to think of how much more of a beast he could have been.

[abark]

I'll never understand the love that Sheed seems to get. While he was an all star, he was still a career underachiever. But worse than that is how some fans find his on court persona so endeering. Why exactly was it so entertaining to see him argue with the refs over every single call? Literally every single one. The fact that he's still screaming "ball don't lie" during his tantrums a full decade later seems plain sad to me.
