BJ Armstrong. He was the best PG of the Bulls dynasty. Extremely clutch and efficient.
@Tcheera Жыл бұрын
I was going to add BJ to the list. I think Ron Harper was the better defender than BJ, but omg BJ was not bad on D and he was SO efficient -- he was a problem both from 2 and 3 -- his 3 point shooting especially when everyone was gassed in the 93 season of the first 3-peat and he was also the main guy who played all 82 games. He doesn't get nearly enough credit for why suddenly it was lethal to not cover the other players on the floor. In fact he was far more dangerous than Pip and Grant out in the 3 point range back then. Paxson was great too and got a ton of cred because he has that one highlight shot that MJ fed him, but I think BJ had SO many in that last season of the 3peat when Paxson was out for a lot of it -- so Paxson gets a lot of the credit BJ doesn't get, even though BJ was there for nearly a quarter of the games that Pax missed. He also hit 50/40/90 in the playoffs... not bad for a nobody on the team, amirite? I mean I think that the Bulls should get TWO dynasty picks -- and I'm fine with Ron Harper being on the list for the 2nd 3-peat, but they won two separate strings of 3 games in that decade and they really were two different rosters. So I think for the first one it's BJ and the second it's Ron. And if you're going to go by who is the MOST underrated I think it's Ron personally... not because I'm comparing the two over who is better. But for real, I think sadly aside from old-heads and nerds that if you ask people who were on that roster they're more likely to remember Kukoc than Harper for sure.

I know he was apart of only the 2015 Warriors championship run but I think Andrew Bogut should be on here. Great screen-setter, great rim protector, and most importantly a great passing big man, especially in that system. Him going down in the 2016 Finals was in my opinion the biggest reason why the Cavaliers were able to come back from that 3-1 deficit. If not him, then Shaun Livingston. People recognize him as a great mid range shooter, but don’t talk enough about how solid his defense was for Golden State.

Another interesting statistic on the Bulls' dynasty is they had three all-time top 25 steals leaders. Jordan (4), Pippen (7), and Harper (25). Imagine having three all-time top 25 players in any statistical category on a single team. If it was points you'd have Kobe Bryant (4), Wilt Chamberlain (7), and James Harden (25). Just trying to put that statistic into context of how insane it was. Harper is most definitely underrated.

But Grant was nowhere near as close to a one demential player as Rodman was. Grant could get you 15 on 55% shooting whenever MJ and Pippen (or Shaq and Penny) needed a third scorer. He was a good 3 inches taller (that matters). He never got technical’s. He never got ejected. He never kicked cameramen. He never needed to randomly go to Vegas in the middle of the season. He never had to be benched when he was healthy because his coach couldn’t trust him not to do something that would get him suspended. He never engaged in the type of behavior that made his coach and teammates fearful of what he might do next.

@@jp3813 Oh my God yes! The way he guarded Shaq was insane. None of his negatives were physical, they were all in between his ears. He was the T.O and Randy Moss of the NBA. But his mental problems were absolutely not insignificant. One of the reasons why the Bulls acquired him so easily, was because no one else really wanted him. Think about that. Both Shaq and David Robinson called him the worst teammate they ever had. And they weren’t wrong. The fact that he contributed nothing on offense was irrelevant compared to what he gave you with defense and rebounding. His successful 3 year run with the Bulls has really caused his overall career to be overrated in my opinion. He was a straight up locker room cancer. That’s something that isn’t reflected in his numbers. I’m old enough that I actually saw his career. The average Bulls fan was not overjoyed when they signed him. It was more like “Oh crap, I hope this doesn’t backfire”. And to Rodman’s credit, it didn’t. But as to my original point. He was not an upgrade from Horace Grant. It was really Toni Kukoč and Steve Kerr that made the 2nd threepeat Bulls better than the 1st.

They probably aren't considered a dynasty since they only won 1 title, but the late 70s-early 80s 76ers were consistently in the title hunt that I feel like they are one of the most important teams in league history.

But since he played with Moses, Dr. J, cheeks, Barkley, etc, and only played 5 good years in the league, everyone forgets about him.

As someone who grew up a Vince Carter fan i hate Bruce Bowen so much 😂 he was good but too dirty of a player. In my opinion he cost the raptors a playoff spot in the 2004 season, that year mid way through the season the Raptors had a 25-28 record and because Bowen Injured Vince the Raptors went 0-6 the next 6 games and 25-34 became to much of hill to climb for the Raptors. They ended 3 games out of the last playoff spot. Also Vince Carter was on pace for his Career high in Points in the Nets game Bowen step under Carter. He had 43 points in 3 quarters and had 10 point lead and because Bowen try to injure Vince and Vince went after Him, Carter got ejected and the Spurs won by 10 and Carter ended with 43. So basically Bowen Robbed Vince Carter fans of a playoff spot and probably what was gonna be Vince’s best scoring performance of his career. So yeah Bowen sucks 😂

Bob McAdoo, Jamaal Wilkes and Mychael Thompson also have arguments as well.

The fact the Lakers had 3 different dynasties and the Celtics 2 is mind boggling 🤯

Not very hard to be a dynasty in the 80s as a Lakers when you just won the championship and get to draft the #1 pick overall in the same year.

You could almost say it was 3 and 4. Since you can divide the 2000’s Lakers into 2 dynasty’s. And the 70’s Celtics, with Jo Jo White, John Havlicek, and Dave Cowens, won 2 rings without Russell, Bird, or McHale.

I think Bad Boys Pistons and Miami Big 3 deserves an exception as a dynasty. Microwave and Battier for underrated players.

Bowen was definitely a dirty player! I’ll even admit he was valuable and belongs on this list of underrated players from these dynasties (the whole list is spot on). I’m all for a physical game of basketball, would admit I gravitate towards it, but Bowen at times was too dirty and caused so many injuries.

Bruce Bowen wasn’t get wide open shots because of great coaching. Pop himself said Bowen would have been unplayable had he not been paired with Duncan who could consistently draw a double for a wide open shot The system was that simple because he had the best player alive cresting chances

I thought Brent Barry from San Antonio was sometimes a get-hot death trap for teams. I know he was against my Suns. Also, B.J. Armstrong for the first three-peat Bulls.
