Why do people hate on this guy? Alot of people don't even know who is but he is one of the most efficient scorer ever.

People need to know you before they hate you. He should have been in the hall of fame much earlier and shouldn't be a part of the 2008 class with includes Dick "I have a raging hard on for the ACC" V. It is slap to his face in my opinion. Who knows... maybe the HOF does hate him for some reason along with other ABA players.

Well I'm old enough to have seen Adrian play and he was one who taught small guys how to play bigger then what they were. Adrian has been doubted his whole life it seem, from college to pros and now as a coach. He came up short on championships twice in his career, in 79-80 he was traded prior to the start of the season to the Jazz then again from the Pistons prior to the start of the 88-89 season.

Both time were for in favor of somebody else, Jammal Wilkes was kept because he wouldn't dominate the post with center like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar already there. And he was dissed in my opinion for Isiah's buddy Mark Aguirre.

He is a jerk, and that's why he was traded a bunch of times despite is great talent. And why he doesn't get the accolades his play would normally garner if it were from a nice player.

But then again Alex English doesn't get much love either in today's game.

6-5 PF who would pump fake you all day...

From what I read, he's a guy that didn't take any mess from anyone... You were not going to tell AD what to do...

When nobody would challenge Isiah Thomas in Detroit and viewed him as a hoops-God, AD didn't take any advice or direction from Zeke... Thus, Zeke had him traded which resulted in the Pistons obtaining Mark Aguirre (One of Isiah's best buddies from Chicago)-- Thus, AD has no ring, and Aguirre does...
