Haha I was being sarcastic. I think relying on player's opinion's as your only point is ridiculous. Isiah Thomas is an all time great and also the all time bad GM. MJ is an all timer and also an all time bad GM/owner. Just because they played doesn't mean their opinion is worth a damn.
Also, who broke this thread?
Former players are terrible with what rule changes are driving the game. Shaq freaking watches the NBA and comments on it, and yet can't grasp why "pre screening" doesn't stop 3 point shooting. It's not that former players don't know anything about basketball. But they are expects on their era. So when they see the game the way it is today...they aren't going to be good at realizing what rules changed the game. They'll just go to what they recall impacting them and they know changed.
That said...Sheed is about the last nba player who'd advice I'm listening to on the game. Now...he's still likely a good big man skill coach.
