His name doesn't come up in the discussion of all time great point guards because he isn't close to one. If we're talking all time entertaining point guards however, then definitely.

You could count on him to jack up a 3 and miss during a crucial part of the game.

However was one of my favourite players growing up, I had his jersey and spent HOURS in my yard trying to perfect the faked round the back pass layup.

"more flash than substance" ......correct.

I don't think he was an underrated PG. A guy that would fit the bill is Sam Cassell.

That's ridiculous. He was a streetball player on a professional basketball team. He was extremely innefficient. Averaged a ton of turnovers trying flashy passes and was an inefficient shooter as well (couldn't hit %40 mark in 4 of his first 5 seasons despite only scoring 12-12-9-14-12 ppg respectively)

Great call. Cassell scored in double digits (mostly around 18-19) in 16 straight seasons and never dropped under %40 FG. Good playmaker, too. Won 3 chips and was an All-Star in 2004 but he's only ever mentioned because of his ugliness.

The 4 people who voted yes should never be allowed to watch basketball again.

Hand down, man down.
